Emperor Shōwa (April 29, 1901 — January 7, 1989) was the 124th emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from December 25, 1926 until his death.
His personal name was Hirohito. 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 Shōwa era (Enlightened Peace), he is now known as Emperor Shōwa. 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.

Hirohito if I remember by history correctly. His correct emperor name was Emperor Showa.
