The first postwar Prime Minister was Shigeru Yoshida in 1946, who may be considered the last chief executive of the Empire of Japan. He served until 1947 when the revised constitution was in effect.

However, US occupation did not officially end until April 28, 1952, during Yoshida's second period as prime minister (15 October 1948 - 10 December 1954).

Emperor Showa (Hirohito) continued in a greatly-reduced capacity under the parliamentary democracy, and died on January 7, 1989 at the age of 87.
