Hirohito
Hirohito, also known as Emperor Showa, was the 124th Emperor of Japan, reigning from 1926 until his death in 1989. His reign witnessed significant events such as World War II, where Japan's militaristic expansion led to devastating consequences, and the subsequent post-war recovery and transformation into a modern economic power. Hirohito's role during the war has been the subject of considerable debate, as he maintained a position of divinity in Japanese culture while also bearing responsibility for the militaristic policies of his government. Following the war, he became a symbol of Japan's pacifism and democratic values.
