I'm not sure but I do know he married his distant cousin Princess Nagako. One. Once some people opportunity to have another wife because only female babies are born. In 1931, Staff members actually started to list some candidate when his wife born the 4th girl. It became what Hirohito knew. Then, Hirohito reject the idea saying "Monogamy is the most important source of ethics." plus he wanted to protect his wife considering he protected her when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genr%C5%8D Genrō] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamagata_Aritomo Yamagata Aritomo] started campaign to stop the engagement because his doctor noticed one of her relative had slight color blindness.

How is Emperor Hirohito remembered today?
Emperor Hirohito is remembered as one of the three main Axis leaders in World War II: Hirohito was the leader of Imperial Japan, while Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany, and Mussolini the leader of Fascist Italy. However, there is considerable controversy about Hirohito's war responsibility among the historians, because of many elements of opaqueness and secrecy around a personage considered as a "living god" at that time, and because of a whitewash of his public image made in consideration of the geostrategic interests of the United States after the war. Nevertheless, since Hirohito's death many documents have come to light and a growing number of historians asserts that Hirohito played an active role in the Japanese wartime politics. He ruled as the head and coordinator of an oligarchy with a pluralistic decision-making process. Books like "The Age of Hirohito: In Search of Modern Japan" by Daikichi Irokawa; "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan" by Herbert P. Bix; and "The People's Emperor: Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945-1995" by Kenneth J. Ruoff" (despite of its title, it includes a great deal of information about Hirohito's role in wartime government, and it explains clearly the Japanese decision-making process, including the active involvement of the emperor) are very useful to this matter. Also, documentaries as "Hirohito's War" of the documentary series "Secrets of War", or "Emperor Hirohito" (BBC, 2005), are very informative.

Should Japanese emperor hirohito have been held responsible for japan's world war 2 actions?
No, because although the world thought the Japanese Emperor held complete power it was in fact the nationalist government and the prime minister (Hideki Tojo) who had the real power and were responsible for everything Japan did during the war for example the ministers would plan an invasion and then show it to the emperor to see if he would say yes or no but unfortunately the emperor would not know what an invasion entailed so he was unwillingly saying yes to actions that would cause the deaths of thousands of people, but in the end Tojo was held responsible and executed at the International Military Tribunal for the far East.

Emperor of japan in 1942?
Emperor Hirohito (1901-1989) became emperor in 1926, and was the head of state of Japan during World War II. Some interesting facts about this: Before and during World War II, the Japanese government was basically run by the military. While Emperor Hirohito was regarded as a sacred leader, he was brainwashed at a young age by military schooling - all of his free time was spent either studying military battles or playing games of chess. It's unclear precisely what his role in administration was. Many of his former advisers took to defending him, claiming he was the sole voice of reason and moderation, but was constantly overruled. Given his upbringing, this is unlikely, but not impossible. According to Japanese legend and tradition, Hirohito is directly descended from the "Sun God." He was forced to admit this was not true after Japan's defeat. The Japanese refer to their deceased emperors by the emperor's regnal name rather than by his given name. Thus Emperor Hirohito is known as the "Showa" emperor after the name of his reign. Showa means "enlightened peace." Hirohito died on January 7th, 1989. His son Akihito (born 1933) is now emperor. Many of the Japanese soldiers during World War II were fanatical in their devotion to him and were willing to die in his honor rather than being captured by the enemy. --- The Japanese emperor in WWII was Emperor Hirohito, (He-ro-he-tow). Unlike his predecessors, Hirohito did not wield absolute power. But few in his government actively opposed him, rather than trying to sway him to their positions.
