Through the History of Japan there have been a large number of people who exerted control over part or all of Japan militarily.
During the Second World War, however, there was never a single figure in command. There was a continuous system of fear within Japan (mostly directed at Marxists, socialists, and communists) following the Peace Preservation Law in 1925 which effectively made it illegal to engage in any activity that would be seen as supporting a leftward change in the national government.
The Japanese government had 13 Prime Ministers between the invasion of Manchuria and the beginning of the Occupation. Wakatsuki Reijirou (opposed the war), Tsuyoshi Inukai (assassinated by pro-war organization with popular support), Makoto Saitou (PM during Japan's withdraw from the League of Nations), Okada Keisuke (avoided assassination), Kouki Hirota (PM during signing of Anti-Comintern Pact), Senjuurou Hayashi, Konoe Fumimaro, Hiranuma Kiichirou, Nobuyuki Abe, Mitsumasa Yonai, Toujou Hideki (PM during much of the Pacific War 41-44), Kantaro Suzuki (war opponent throughout the Pacific War), and Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko.
Military Dictator
Hideki Tojo
In feudal Japan the Shogun was the military dictator of Japan. It means literally "commander of a force". It is equivalent to a Commander in Chief.
No dictator. Constitutional monarchy.
Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Joseph Stalin were all authoritarian dictators and the military staff of Japan acted as a junta.
