Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil comes to mind. Brazil immediately became an empire after it got its independence (thanks to the then Portuguese prince Dom Pedro I, who quit the job to become king of Portugal when the chance showed up)

Interesting. I kind of assumed that Emperor was an additional title where one ruled over their kingdom (where they were king) and other states.

Nah, for example the OG Emperors, the Roman Emperors, had a cultural prohibition against kings so they used the title Imperator.

Honestly there's a case to be made that a real Emperor wouldn't have a kingdom title.
