The shogun kept the emperor in place as a figurehead even though the emperor was a ruler with no power because they didn't want the people to know that the shogun were the real rulers.

Why do you think that the emporer had less power than a shogun?
THEY WERE BROTHERS AND THE SHOGUN WAS OLDER:) :( people these days the real answer is that the shogun went to war against the emperor and gained more power by victory of the battle. that's why the emperor had less power on japan than the shogun.
Was the Japanese emperor or shogun the boss?
It really depends what era you are referring to. The real power of the Shogun was from around the 8th century until 1867 when the then ruling Tokugawa Yoshinobu relinquished control back to the emperor after nearly 1000 years (this became known as the Meiji Resoration). The emperor was and still is head of state (technically called the "symbol of the state and the unity of the people" since 1947). The shogun on the other hand is the one that really has the power. The best analogy is the Queen of England and the Prime Minister or the even the current Emperor of Japan and the Prime Minister. One has the posh title but the other gets out of bed at 6am every day and puts in a 18 hour shift!

What does shogun mean in Japanese?
The closest English equivalent is viceroy; a shogun is an official who rules on behalf of the emperor (as, in English, the viceroy rules on behalf of the king). _____ I don't think that's all that accurate... while a shogun rules "on behalf" of the emperor on paper, in practice it's anything but. The emperor is simply a figurehead with no real power, who exists solely on the generosity of those he's "ruling". A better way to look at it would be the same way the portugese did when they first got to Japan. They called the emperor the pope (because he had huge influence but no actual power), and they called the shogun the emperor (since he was in fact the warlord in charge of the entire country).
