•  Hirohito

  Hirohito, also known as The Shōwa Emperor, (April 29, 1901 – January 7, 1989) was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order, reigning from December 25, 1926, until his death in 1989. Although better known outside of Japan by his personal name Hirohito, he is now referred to exclusively by his posthumous name Emperor Shōwa in Japan. The word Shōwa is the name of the era that corresponded with the Emperor's reign, and was made the Emperor's own name upon his death.

•  Fujiwara no Mototsune

  Fujiwara no Mototsune continued the trend begun by Yoshifusa of monopolizing the position of regent to the Japanese emperor. He was third son of Fujiwara no Nagara, brother of Yoshifusa, and Fujiwara no Otoharu (藤原乙春), daughter of Fujiwara no Tsugutada. He was adopted by Yoshifusa who had no sons, and Mototsune followed in Yoshifusa's footsteps. After the emperor had reached his maturity, however, Mototsune invented the position of kampaku regent for himself.

•  Fujiwara no Michinaga

  Fujiwara no Michinaga represents the highpoint of the Fujiwara regents' control over the government of Japan. Michinaga exerted de facto reign over Japan in the early 11th century. This can be seen from the fact that he was father to four (non-reigning) empresses, uncle to two emperors and grandfather to another three. He was the fourth or fifth son of Fujiwara no Kaneie by his wife Tokihime, daughter of Fujiwara no Nakamasa.

•  Toyotomi Hideyoshi

  Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉, February 2, 1536 – September 18, 1598) was a daimyo in the Sengoku period who unified the political factions of Japan. He succeeded his former liege lord, Oda Nobunaga, and brought an end to the Sengoku period. The period of his rule is often called the Momoyama period, named after Hideyoshi's castle. He is noted for a number of cultural legacies, including the restriction that only members of the samurai class could bear arms.

•  Fujiwara no Yoshifusa

  Fujiwara no Yoshifusa was the first of the great regents from the Fujiwara clan. He was the second son of Fujiwara no Fuyutsugu and Fujiwara no Mitsuko. A skillful politician, he managed to set up his own grandson as the emperor Emperor Seiwa, with himself acting as regent and de facto ruler. He was the first regent in Japanese history who was not himself of imperial rank. Yoshifusa is referred to as Chūjin Kō (忠仁公) (posthumous name as Daijō Daijin).

•  Sesshō and Kampaku

  In Japan, Sesshō was a title given to a regent who was named to assist either a child emperor before his coming of age, or an empress. The Kampaku was theoretically a sort of chief advisor for the emperor, but was the title of both first secretary and regent who assists an adult emperor. During the Heian era, they were the effective rulers of Japan.

•  Fujiwara no Yorimichi

  Fujiwara no Yorimichi (990-1074), son of Michinaga, was a Japanese Court noble. He succeeded his father to the position of Sessho in 1017, and then went on to become Kampaku from 1020 until 1068. In both these positions, he acted as Regent to the Emperor, as many of his ancestors and descendants did; the Fujiwara clan had nearly exclusive control over the regency positions for over 200 years.

•  Fujiwara no Motofusa

  Fujiwara no Motofusa (1144 - 1230) was an imperial regent in the late 1100s, serving both Emperor Rokujō and Emperor Takakura.

Though wielding great power as sesshō and kampaku, Motofusa was prevented from becoming the head of the Fujiwara family by the political maneuvers of Taira no Kiyomori.
