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.

What important role did admiral kimmel play in Pearl Harbor?

They filled the important role of scapegoats as best described by Admiral Raymond Spruance: "I have always felt that Kimmel and Short were held responsible for Pearl Harbor in order that the American people might have no reason to lose confidence in their Government in Washington. "This was probably justifiable under the circumstances at that time, but it does not justify forever damning these fine officers." Admiral Spruance letter to Samuel Eliot Morison, 11/29/61


Why was the Japanese attack on pearl harbor such a surprise?

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.
