A duke, or duchess if female, is a highly-ranked member of the nobility. The title, generally hereditary, corresponds to one of the highest-ranked noble titles, often the highest rank before the monarch's own. A duke may also be a sovereign who rules over a duchy. In Japan, the title most widely understood to be the best equivalent is 公爵, koushaku, the name of the equivalent rank in the hereditary peerage system once used by the Empire of Japan; that title is also alternatively translated as "prince".
