Hirohito did not ORDER the attack on Pearl Harbor. He permitted the attack. Admiral Yamamoto was the Admiral who ordered the attack and later regretted it because he failed to wait for the notification that war had been declared on the USA. He said, "We have woken up a sleeping giant." He was very correct on that thought.

Admiral Husband Kimmel served as the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet during the attack on Pearl Harbor. However, his leadership and preparedness for the attack have been heavily criticized. Many argued that he failed to take adequate precautions and intelligence warnings surrounding the attack. As a result, Kimmel was relieved of his command following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The December 7, 1941, attack by the Japanese upon Pearl Harbor was a great surprise for primarily one reason: the Americans expected a Japanese attack to happen much farther west or south in the Pacific region. General hostilities had long been expected, but no one foresaw that the Japanese would dare to venture so far eastwards in order to start a war. The strict secrecy in which the attack was wrapped by the Japanese was yet another key factor.
According to an interview given by Emperor Hirohito after the war it was was military leader Hideki Tojo who ordered the attack. But I'm not sure we know for sure.
The final order which indicated that aircraft had achieved complete surprise on Pearl Harbor was issued at 07:53 by Commander Fuchida Mitsuo. He radioded "Tora, Tora, Tora" and the attack commenced.
