The list of empress regents are:
When Suiko's husband Emperor Bidatsu, died, her brother Emperor Yōmei took the throne. Soon though Yōmei died of illness and so Emperor Sushun took the throne. Sushun was assassinated and so the throne was vacant, in a time of need Suiko became the empress, yet she was probably styled as; Great queen of Yamato. Suiko ruled until her death.
Kōgyoku reigned a second time as Saimei.[5]
After taking the throne, Kōgyoku was soon forced off due to the Isshi incident, blood was seen as impure and Soga-no-Iruka being killed Infront of the empress, and the empress being the most pure person (being Japan's leader) meant she had to abdicate so it wouldn't stain her reign.
Kōgyoku would take the throne a second time though as Saimei, she was probably called; Great queen of Yamato.
Jitō was the wife of emperor Tenmu, after he died and her son Prince Kusakabe to young to rule Jitō took the throne in his place until he was old enough. When Kusakabe died, Jitō remained as Empress until her grandson came of age. Jitō was the first to use the title "Josei Tennō"

Genshō Helped complete the Nihon Shoki, she was also the only Empress to be preceded by another (Her predecessor being her own mother)
Kōken reigned a second time as Shōtoku.[9]
Under her first reign, Kōken was basically a puppet for her mother, Empress Kōmyō, the Empress Dowager. Possibly because of this, Kōken would abdicate. Yet soon after Kōken would overthrow the new Emperor and vest all power in herself, becoming Empress Shōtoku. Now Shōtoku, she fell in love with a monk named Dōkyō.[10] Yet when she died, Dōkyō fell from power and was exiled.
Meishō only became empress because her father was involved in the Purple Robe Incident and so he had to abdicate.[12] The 5 year-old now Empress, didn't do much as the Shogun system was in place.
Same as Meishō were she didn't have much power due to the Shogun. But she was the last Josei Tennō, and she also adopted Emperor Kōkaku as Her own. Empress Go-Sakuramachi died in 1813.
Empress Jingū is not counted among the official monarchs.[c] And Iitoyo's legitimacy (concerning her reign) is mostly made up.[14]
