Timeline
After World War II, he was not allowed to go back to Korea. After he lost royal status by order of the SCAP in October 1947, he was naturalized as a Japanese citizen in 1950. Then he changed his name to Kenichi Momoyama. In a blood test, Momoyama discovered that he was not the biological father of his eldest son, Yi Chun (이충), to which he believed that Yoshiko committed adultery back in 1932; eventually, he divorced with Yoshiko in May 1951 and only claimed the custody of his second son, Yi Ki (이기). Momoyama later remarried to Yoshiko Maeda (前田美子, Maeda Yoshiko) and he had another son and two daughters. In 1990 he died; Prince Mikasa attended his funeral.
He was brought to Japan in 1918, and entered Gakushūin Primary School. In 1930, he was commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Army as a second lieutenant of cavalry. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1932 and to Captain in 1936. He served as the instructor of horsemanship at the Imperial Military Academy. He received further promotions to Major in 1940, and to Lieutenant-Colonel in 1943. With the end of the Second World War in 1945, he concluded his military career with the rank of Colonel. He married Yoshiko Matsudaira (松平 佳子, Matsudaira Yoshiko, 6 October 1911 - 28 June 2006), a maternal cousin of Princess Masako of Nashimoto and member of the Matsudaira clan, on October 5, 1931, in Tokyo. They had two sons and a daughter.
Colonel Prince Yi Geon (October 28, 1909 – December 21, 1990), also Ri Ken and Kenichi Momoyama (桃山 虔一, Momoyama Ken'ichi), was a Korean prince and a cavalry officer in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.
