What was emperor hirohito about?

Hirohito was the 124th Emperor of Japan from December 25, 1926 toJanuary 7, 1989. He was previously Regent from 1921 to 1926. Hechose "Showa" ("Enlightened Peace") as name of …his reign era. Between 1926 and 1945, Hirohito was revered as a "living god". TheEmperor ruled over Japan as leader of an oligarchy with apluralistic decision making process. Hirohito governed byarbitration, seeking consensus within the oligarchy. When it wasnot possible to forge consensus, the Emperor had the power toresolve it by imposing a decision (for example, in 1942 Hirohitoimposed the execution of three captive American airmen of theDoolittle Squadron [against the wishes of the Prime Minister, Gen.Tojo, who wanted to keep alive all the eight prisoners], andkeeping alive the other five [against the wishes of the Chief ofStaff of the Army, Gen. Sugiyama, who wanted to execute all ofthem]). Hirohito ruled Japan during the Japanese expansion in East Asia andduring World War II. As for his attitude regarding the start of thewar, Prince Konoe (Prime Minister from 1937 to 1939 and from 1940to 1941) told his chief cabinet secretary, Kenji Tomita: "Of courseHis Majesty is a pacifist, and there is no doubt he wished to avoidwar. When I told him that to initiate war was a mistake, he agreed.But the next day, he would tell me: "You were worried about ityesterday, but you do not have to worry so much." Thus, gradually,he began to lean toward war. And the next time I met him, he leanedeven more toward war. In short, I felt the Emperor was telling me:my prime minister does not understand military matters, I know muchmore. In short, the Emperor had absorbed the view of the army andnavy high commands". After Japan's defeat by the United States, the American occupyingforces let him keep his throne in exchange of his acceptance of anew Constitution which stripped him of his former powers and"divinity". The Americans considered the survival of the ImperialInstitution as an essential tool for a stable occupation of Japanand to prevent a hypothetical communist rise in that country.Hirohito became a "symbolic" Emperor under the new Constitutionuntil his death in 1989. He was succeeded by his son Akihito. (MORE)
