Why can Emperor Hirohito, who is also the head of the Axis, escape justice?

As early as World War II, the Japanese government was divided on the attitude of the emperor, because by 1942, Japan began to go to the end, pay attention. This is not the decision of the allies, but the discussion within the Japanese government.

As an island country, Japan's sense of backwardness has never dissipated, and the idea of expanding abroad has never stopped. To put it bluntly, military expansion is war, and war kills people. There's nothing funny. Fear of death is human nature. At the same time, war is not only a meat grinder, but also a money-burning machine. Although Japan has risen to a first-class country during World War II and its own material conditions are few, the United States is different. Its family business is very big, and while watching it, it earns war money, which is enough to bring down Japan by virtue of its economic advantages. This is why Japan is eager to launch a naval battle at Pearl Harbor to stall the United States and buy time for itself. Among them, the emperor can also be counted as the core figure. What is he in charge of? Responsible for inciting soldiers to strong fighting emotions!

The allies didn't want to let the emperor go at first. Hitler shot himself and Mussolini was killed. Why can you escape as a Japanese emperor?

It is true that Japanese emperors have been puppets for thousands of years. No matter his ministers, shogunate generals or even aristocratic warriors, they can basically ride on the emperor's head, but they have no real power. The economy is supplied by nobles and warriors, and the days are often bleak. But ordinary people don't know! What do they think the emperor is? The emperor is a god, and the emperor is inviolable!

MacArthur naturally had to consider this. If something is done to the Japanese emperor, the Japanese people will be quite suppressed, and millions of surrendered soldiers may not revolt. If the Emperor is tried as a war criminal, it is estimated that there will be millions of American troops stationed in Japan indefinitely. The last safe way is to share the responsibility of the Japanese emperor with a fascist leader like tojo hideki.
