How violent was hirohito?

Answer 1

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.
