Hirohito.
He was about 8 years old when the war began for Japan in China.
(Tells you something about his motives, doesn't it? Like they were non-existent? And it tells you something about those in power around him.)

Hirohito (April 29, 1901 — January 7, 1989) was the emperor during World War-II. He was the 124th emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from December 25, 1926 until his death. Like all his predecessors, he is known since his death by a posthumous name, that, according to a tradition dating back to 1912, is the name of the era coinciding with his reign. Having ruled during the ShÅwa era (Enlightened Peace), he is now known as Emperor ShÅwa. Although he is widely referred to as Hirohito or Emperor Hirohito outside of Japan, Japanese emperors are only referred to in Japan by their posthumous names. The use of his personal name instead can be considered overly familiar, or almost derogatory.
