Because he was one of the Axis leaders. Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany, Mussolini was the leader of Fascist Italy and Hirohito was the leader of Imperial Japan. The only possible nuance is that the first two were Western-style dictators, while Hirohito ruled as head of an oligarchy with a pluralistic decision-making process in which the emperor was actively involved and in which he solved all possible dissents.
It's interesting to note that in April 1942, when eight pilots of Doolittle squadron were captured by the Japanese in China, the chief of Staff, Gen. Sugiyama wanted to execute all of them and Prime Minister Tojo wanted to keep them alive. As none of them could prevail over the other, Emperor Hirohito intervened and ordered that three of the pilots were executed and the other five were kept alive. The order was fulfilled, and the excution of the three pilots outraged the Americans, which launched a Propaganda campaign directly linking the image of Hirohito with that of Hitler and Mussolini.
For more information, I recommend to you "The Age of Hirohito: In Search of Modern Japan" by Daikichi Irokawa; "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan" by Herbert P. Bix"; and "The People's Emperor: Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945-1995" by Kenneth J. Ruoff" (despite of its title, it includes a great deal of information about Hirohito's role in wartime government, and it explains clearly the Japanese decision-making process, including the active involvement of the emperor).

How is Emperor Hirohito remembered today?
Emperor Hirohito is remembered as one of the three main Axis leaders in World War II: Hirohito was the leader of Imperial Japan, while Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany, and Mussolini the leader of Fascist Italy. However, there is considerable controversy about Hirohito's war responsibility among the historians, because of many elements of opaqueness and secrecy around a personage considered as a "living god" at that time, and because of a whitewash of his public image made in consideration of the geostrategic interests of the United States after the war. Nevertheless, since Hirohito's death many documents have come to light and a growing number of historians asserts that Hirohito played an active role in the Japanese wartime politics. He ruled as the head and coordinator of an oligarchy with a pluralistic decision-making process. Books like "The Age of Hirohito: In Search of Modern Japan" by Daikichi Irokawa; "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan" by Herbert P. Bix; and "The People's Emperor: Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945-1995" by Kenneth J. Ruoff" (despite of its title, it includes a great deal of information about Hirohito's role in wartime government, and it explains clearly the Japanese decision-making process, including the active involvement of the emperor) are very useful to this matter. Also, documentaries as "Hirohito's War" of the documentary series "Secrets of War", or "Emperor Hirohito" (BBC, 2005), are very informative.

Why did emperor Hirohito become emperor?
There is considerable controversy around Hirohito among historians, around the exact extent of the Emperor's accountability for the war itself and the war crimes, but it is clear now that the old stereotype of Hirohito as a "powerless figurehead" is not correct. According to these authors, Hirohito played a more active role during World War II than it was believed during the Cold War years. For example, Kenneth J. Ruoff, Director of the Center for Japanese Studies, Portland State University, in his book "The People's Emperor: Democracy and the Japanese Monarchy, 1945-1995" or Irokawa Daikichi in "The Age of Hirohito: In Search of Modern Japan", Awaya Kentaro, or Herbert P. Bix in "Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan", all concluding Hirohito played a very active role in Japan's war politics and strategy. About Tojo, Sir Max Hastings asserts that Allied propaganda portrayed Tojo as a dictator in the mold of Hitler and Mussolini, but the reality is that Tojo had less authority in Japan than Churchill had in Britain.
