Question:
Perhaps all you folks who know Japanese can answer a question for me: Is it true that the Japanese language contains a special form of the pronoun "you", just for addressing the emperor? If so, how/when is that pronoun used today?

Apparently, "Tennou Heika", "Your Imperial Majesty" or "Your Heavenly Majest is a pronoun. And I suppose it's still used for the emperor.
