What type of government does hideko tojo have?
It makes for good war propaganda to call the enemy "evil" names; and probably deservedly so, in many cases. However, during WWII, Japan was a country led by a Monarch Government; and lest some over zealous Japanese Military Officer forget that fact, he might end up facing a firing squad.
Unfortunately, racism was a huge part of United States history and Blacks were not the only race to suffer unequal and prejudicial treatment. Asian-Americans did not become accepted as "true Americans" until the mid-1960s. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, many Americans saw the Japanese-Americans as a fifth column. This meant that they viewed the Japanese-Americans as secret spies for Japan and inherently disloyal to the United States. Strangely, from a modern perspective, German-Americans, Irish-Americans, and Italian-Americans, who were much more vociferous opponents of US military policy in World War II were not even considered for discriminatory treatment, showing that this boils down to racism and fear of Asians more than it does legitimate security concerns.
In order to deal with this perceived loyalty, the President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. This order was used to round up Japanese-Americans all along the Pacific coast (the largest area of Japanese-Americans in the United States) and place them in internment camps. In 1944, the US Supreme Court upheld the validity of the camps on the grounds of necessary military action. Surprisingly, the Japanese-American response was not to riot or protest, but to actively seek to assist the United States military in World War II. To "prevent" the Japanese-Americans from being in contact with other Japanese, most Japanese-American units were sent to the Italian Front, where some of them earned the highest amounts of commendations and medals. After the war, the Japanese-Americans were released from the camps without any property of money from which to make a living. However, many of them were resourceful and able to sustain themselves in the following decades.
In the 1980s, the US Federal Government admitted its wrongdoing and compensated every family that still had a surviving member from the internment camps for this violation of their civil liberties.

Why did General Tojo attack the Americas at Pearl Harbor?
Prior to the attack, America had given an ultimatum to the Empire: if Japan did not cease its aggression in China, the US, Great Britain, and Holland would cut off Japan's access to the oil of the Dutch East Indies. Tojo hoped that the attack on Pearl Harbor would be devastating enough to knock America out of the war entirely, or, failing that, America would recover from the blow so slowly that they would be unable to attack
before Japan had completed its conquests in China, Southeast Asia, and, possibly, India. The attack, designed by Yamamoto,
though successful on many levels, was not the knockout blow it was intended to be. The attack did not destroy the fuel depots for ships and aircraft, and none of the fleet aircraft carriers were caught in port, allowing them to spearhead the counterattack. Plus to top it all off, there was no plan for a followup attack, or to take advantage of the plan's success.

World War II : When Allies Invaded, Italy Turned against Germany
King Victor Emmanuel, leader of post-Fascist Italy, declared war on Germany Oct. 13, 1943. The part of Italy that Victor Emmanuel controlled was only the part that the Allies had liberated by that date. But as Allied Forces moved up the boot of Italy, more and more of Italy's resources were utilized in the Allied war effort towards Italy's former partner in the Axis.
The Italian Royalists against the German Puppet State
The Italians of the "Kingdom of the South" were considered "co-belligerents" by the Allies. Thus not actually allies, and not part of the allied forces. They are often referred to as "Royalist troops". The first such troops were created on September 28, 1943, and saw action in the Cassino sector (Monte Lungo).
Existing simultaneously was the Italian Social Republic, created on September 18, 1943, fighting on the Axis side until the end. It only fielded about 60,000 frontline troops (then again the Kingdom of the South's peak strength was about 22,000 men on the Allied side). But Mussolini had large bodies of paramilitary fascist troops in an internal security role.
Italian History in World War II
Benito Mussolini was the dictator of Italy and he signed a pact with Hitler in 1939 to be their ally. The war started soon after that and Italy began to lose men and equipment. Then when the war reached Sicily, an island that belongs to Italy, and when the Allies began bombing Italy and especially Rome, the people rebelled against the Germans and Fascists. Italy had a king, King Victor Emmanuel II, who did not run the country.
On July 24, 1943, The Fascist Party held a meeting. After a 2-hour speech by Mussolini, his son-in-law, Ciano, made a motion to remove Mussolini from power. After 9 hours of debates, Mussolini demanded a roll-call vote and lost. The next day, Mussolini held a meeting with King Emmanuel, and the King simply asked Mussolini to step down. Mussolini had been physically sick and so he just agreed to it. Mussolini was placed under arrest and General Badoglio was placed in temporary charge of the country and restored order. There was very little revolt by the Fascists.
The Germans expected something was up. The Italian Government began secret negotiations with the Allies to switch sides. Many in the Allied command did not trust Italy and demanded unconditional surrender. There was talk of dropping US paratroopers into Rome so they could help the Badoglio government take control of the German troops. The Allied landing force departed for their attack on the Italian mainland at the Salerno beaches (on Sept. 9, 1943). Time ran out for Italy to make a decision. Italy announced they would surrender to the Allies.
The Germans initiated Operation ACHSE to disarm all the Italian soldiers in Italy and abroad. Many Italians were executed and 615,000 Italians were transported to German labor camps. Within a few weeks, German reinforcements crossed over the Alps into Italy and took control of the country. The Italian Government of General Badoglio declared war on German on October 13, 1943, thus becoming an Allied co-belligerent, though not an ally.
As the Allies advanced up from the "toe" of Italy, they took over more and more of the southern half of Italy. The ex-Italian soldiers were put into service with the Allies and used as translators and to carry supplies on mule trains up the steep mountains. Eventually, the Italians were armed by the British and these were the co-belligerent forces or sometimes called the "army of the South". They formed into 4 combat groups and were sent into combat towards the end of the war.
Benito Mussolini was still in charge of the Fascist elements loyal to him and he remained allied to the Germans. He really had no power and was a puppet government. He re-organized the combat troops under a new name: RSI - Italian Social Republic, consisting of the ENR and GNR. The ENR was organized into 4 divisions. The GNR was formed as a new Fascist militia to replace the Black Shirts (MSVN). They were the primary anti-partisan security force.
Italian soldiers essentially had 3 choices : 1) head north behind the front lines and fight with Mussolini and the Germans, 2) head south of the lines and fight for the co-belligerent forces, or 3) serve as a partisan fighter.
