Koohii stories:

1) [mameha1977] 4-10-2007(151): Ancient Rome had Emperors instead of Kings, and they wore white robes. Thus an emperor is a king in white. (make sure you picture a roman emperor not a japanese one and you'll be ok).

2) [SammyB] 13-10-2008(63): I don't think the Japanese would be happy if their emperor was a white king…

3) [lucianreign] 6-12-2006(50): The white dove descended on the king and he was promoted to emperor.

4) [johanvg] 14-7-2006(24): An emperor is a holy king. In Japanese Shinto white is the holiest color.

5) [vxnine] 7-12-2008(15): Whenever I think an Emperor I always think of Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. He is the king of all the white stormtroopers.
