Wasn't it truly his generals that were responsible for all of that? In the history book I had in high school, it said that Hirohito was merely a puppet, not actually in control of his state. But I've received conflicting sources to this.
In any case, I support the Japanese monarchy, so were he to have been removed from the throne, I would have supported his son becoming Emperor instead (the current Emperor).

It was just propaganda to try and get the Japanese people to side with the allies by saying that the genrals fooled the Emperor and the Japanese people. Which was bullshit, Hirohito had as much responsibility as his generals.
