It depends on whose "story of Julius Caesar" we are talking about. In most such stories Caesar is the main character. However if we are talking about Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar (which is a play and not a story), Caesar is actually dead for most of the play, which suggests that he is not the main character. Some people have argued that the short appearance of his ghost just before the Battle of Philippi and Cassius's remarks about how he will die by the same sword as Caesar mean that Caesar's spirit is at work even after his death, until his murderers are dead. However, that is stretching a point. It is simpler to say that Brutus is the main character in the play, since the real focus is on him and on the kind of political idealism (or possibly naiveté) he demonstrates.

Shakespeare wrote a play called Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is not one of the main characters, he appears only three times. The scene of his murder is very famous.

Why did Shakespeare entitle the play Julius Caesar?

Julius Caesar is a main character in the play, and even after his death appears as a ghost to Brutus. It can be and has been argued that Caesar's character overshadows the whole play, and so it is proper that it should be named after him. It is also possible that Shakespeare named the play after Caesar because he was better known than Brutus and so potential audience members were more likely to know what the play was about and buy tickets.
