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.

well that is a difficult one, the Emperor was the leader of ALL japan, the shogunate was like the military advisor and clans fought for shogunate rule, so the emperor was more powerful but he didn't make as much decisions compared to the shogunate

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.

What role did the emperor play in the feudal system under the Tokugawa Shogunate?

Yes. Technically speaking, the Emperor designated the Tokugawa family as shogun (general). Shogun (general) is originally supposed to fight against the northern peoples, but the position has the greatest power in the society, and it was more or less just a title for someone who controls the country. The Emperor and his family became political figureheads while the real military power lay with the Shogunate rulers.

Does Japan have a social pyramid?

the social pyramid isn't real. there are no people that are less than another. they are all equal in japan today. In feudal Japan there was a strict social pryamid. The emperor was a figurehead but at the top. The shogun was a military leader and had the real power. Pheasants were next. Artisans were below and the merchants were at the bottom.
