Did hirohito had power

Answer 1

Yes, Hirohito had real power in World War 2. Historians such as Akira Fujiwara and Peter Wetzler, based on the primary sources and the monumental work of Shiro Hara have produced evidence suggesting that the Emperor worked through intermediaries to exercise a great deal of control over the military and was neither bellicose nor a pacifist, but an opportunist who governed in a pluralistic decision-making process. American historian Herbert P. Bix argues that Emperor Shōwa might have been the prime mover of most of the events of the two wars.
