Hirohito

Hirohito, known to his subjects as simply The Emperor, is the current Emperor of the Empire of Japan and its puppet state of Manchukuo. Hirohito took the reins as Emperor in December 1926, in which he took over during a period of Japanese prosperity. Following their success in the Great War, Japan had expanded territories, and without the United States regulating their movements and with key support from the likes of the United Kingdom and France in the Council of Allies, Japan was cultivating a strong sphere of influence over China.

Young and ambitious, Hirohito is still treated as a divine figure to his subjects; but he aims to leave his mark on history as much as possible. His government, whatever that may become, may enforce a sway on him to make the 'right decision' for Japan's future, whatever that decision may be. Hirohito currently witnesses continued disputes between Japanese party politics and the military, and his Prime Minister, Wakatsuki Reijirō, holds strong criticism towards the insurgent military forces.

Japan still remains a strong international figure, and is considered the bulwark of strength and honour in Asia, with Hirohito widely regarded as the figurehead of the continent. Despite it all, Hirohito only wants what is best for Japan, and will stop at nothing to make sure his country stands tall, triumphant and proud.
