I happened to be living in Japan when Hirohito snuffed it, a stately little avuncular fellow who was almost certainly in on the planning for WWII according to historian David Bergamini. He skated on that one - we pretended otherwise and instead hung Tojo, who was not, but had it coming for a myriad of other reasons. Took one for the Emp, did Tojo.

Hard to believe it's been almost 30 years. I will simply say to the AP, who appear to believe otherwise, that the chances of a female succeeding to the Imperial throne are a fraction of the size of the tiniest quantum particle. Not happening.

“I happened to be living in Japan when Hirohito.......”

Way way back in the day my step Grandfather whom was originally from Switzerland taught Hirohito French lessons when he was a young lad. I believe my Aunt has at least one correspondence letter from Hirohito that she inherited when he passed. According to my Mother the letter was from just a few years before the war in which Hirohito expressed concern about US /Japan tensions.

Well, if Tojo really believed in the mutant strain of Bushido that he was foisting on everyone else, then it was his duty to take one for the Emp.
