The leaders for Japan in WW2 were Hideki Tojo, and emperor Hirohito. Now Hirohito was the emperor but he had very little power, the real power was with the military leader Tojo.
Tried and convicted as a class A war criminal by the Military Tribunal.
The Emperor Hirohito was the Commander in Chief. The Emperor's Minister of War was General Tojo.
Hirohito was convinced by his military that Japan should attack the USA once he signed of on that whether his solderers liked it or not there was nothing they could do about it.If you complained they simply removed your head.The Japanese revered their emperor as if he were a God and most of them would do anything for him.
Emperor Hirohito was a calm, gentle man who was humble and kind. He was not the violet person considered him to be. He was not in charge of the violent military Japanese soldiers and Naval personnel. He was more a pawn of them in reality. He was so isolated as a monarch of a country many Japanese had never even seen him or heard his voice. When he had his voice recorded and played over the air to announce the surrendering of his nation in the war it was the first time most Japanese had ever heard his voice.

Emperor Hirohito personally threatened to lead his Imperial Guard (the Konoe Division) to put down a military coup, known as the "February 26 Incident" in 1936. The coup, was led by a group of junior Japanese Army officers, which were put down, with the remaining hold outs, put to justice; or in the case of the enlisted men, allowed to return to their units. Emperor Hirohito did not have to carry out his threat of putting down the rebellion with his "Imperial Guards."

Emperor Hirohito Actually, Japan was the only Axis Power that was not Fascist. It had a puppet monarchy with the Emperor, Hirohito, being controlled by military generals.
The ironic thing about the bombs being dropped on Japan is that the Japanese military leaders did not consider them any different than the incendiary bombs dropped. To them they did the same amount of damage. They were not motivated to give up. Emperor Hirohito finally put his foot down and surrendered despite the military leaders. Hirohito thought the US had more when they did not. The US did have the ability to totally wipe out Japan however.
Emperor Hirohito was the leader of Japan in 1939.
