More local rulers served under the emperor due to the promise of stability and security that centralized rule provided. By aligning with the emperor, local leaders could gain political legitimacy, access to resources, and protection against rival factions. Additionally, the emperor often offered incentives, such as tax breaks or military support, which made cooperation more appealing. This alliance helped maintain order and fostered a sense of unity within the empire.

The system of bakufu, or military government, established by the shogunate in Japan significantly diminished the power of the emperor. While the emperor retained a position of symbolic authority and religious significance, real political power was concentrated in the hands of the shogun and his military hierarchy. This shift led to a feudal system where local lords (daimyōs) governed their domains under the shogun's oversight, further sidelining the emperor in matters of governance and military affairs. Consequently, the emperor became more of a figurehead, with the bakufu effectively controlling the state.

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.

Because they were more CIVILIZED.
Historically, the title of "emperor" has typically been associated with male rulers, but there have been notable exceptions where women held similar positions of power. For instance, Empress Wu Zetian of China ruled as the only female emperor in her own right during the Tang dynasty. In modern contexts, the term "emperor" can be viewed more flexibly, allowing for the possibility of a girl or woman being recognized as an emperor based on her authority and the societal structure in place. Ultimately, the title and its implications depend on cultural and historical contexts.
