Who was more responsible for the Japanese war crimes? Him or Tojo?

the man actually in charge of affairs of state of course

one can't expect a fancy hood ornament to have given the direction of the military's goals

all of them

Tojo most likely, but Hirohito seemed to be complicit with the events happening or at least was powerless to stop them

the military held full control of all state affairs. the emperor probably knew about the atrocities

The Emperor never had any power at all since at least Heian Period. The only time where their emperor actually do jack shit was during Meiji period.

>>2185931
Tojo did it all. Hirohito just liked to watch

or the time the emperor got on the horn to say the war's over

>The Emperor never had any power at all since at least Heian Period

That's what Hirohito wanted us to think

>>2185931
It was Hirohito dumbasses, the reason The US let him go was because they brokered a deal to keep the Emperor alive.

Even if Hirohito had some say in the state the army was mostly autonomous actors during the early Showa period

then you had the military junta taking over which offered less power. Not that Hirohito seemed to mind

>>2186097
If Hirohito didn't have any power, then I wondered why everyone decided to surrender after he said so.

>>2186104
mostly to save face for military

>>2186109
The Japanese generals still had a lot of respect for Hirohito and Hirohito could have intervened but he didn't which makes him hell as guilty.
