The Order of the Golden Kite (金鵄勲章, Kinshi Kunshō) was an order of the Empire of Japan, established on 12 February 1890 by Emperor Meiji "in commemoration of Jimmu Tennō, the Romulus of Japan". It was abolished in 1947 by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) during the occupation of Japan, after World War II.
