Hirohito was the 124th emperor of Japan and one of the longest-reigning monarchs worldwide, ruling for 62 years. He ascended the throne in 1926 and guided Japan through important treaties, natural disasters, and war. As a constitutional monarch, he supervised Japan’s imperial expansion, militarization, and participation in World War II.
