The shogun was the military leader of Japan, holding significant power and authority over the samurai class and the governance of the country, particularly during the feudal period. The position originated in the late 12th century, with the first shogun being Minamoto no Yoritomo, who established the Kamakura shogunate. The shogun was crucial in maintaining order, implementing policies, and defending the realm, effectively becoming the de facto ruler of Japan while the emperor retained a more symbolic, ceremonial role. This system shaped Japan's political landscape for centuries, influencing its culture, social structure, and international relations.
