* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: Like the rest of the Imperial Family, Akihito is subject to a lavish lifestyle.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Tanigaki ignores the rise of far-right extremism for the sake of political convenience, potentially opening the doors to something much worse down the line.

* AllohistoricalAllusion: Japan's seizure of Dalian mirrors Russia's invasion of Crimea.
* BlatantLies: Japan claims ownership over Dalian by insisting it was awarded to Japan through legitimate means via the Kwantung Leased Territory, even though the treaty that established it was immediately abolished as part of the peace negotiations at the end of the Great Asian War.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Nishida is antisemitic and socially reactionary, blaming all of Japan's faults on the United States, liberalism, and Jews.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Nishida believes Japan lost the Great Asian War due to an international Jewish conspiracy to destroy Japan's position as a global power.
* PuppetKing: If Tamogami's plot succeeds and Nishida invades China, Nishida will be forced to make concessions to the Militarists in Tamogami's circle, eventually culminating in him becoming nothing short of a puppet to their interests.
* PlausibleDeniability: In the path where Japan loses the war with China and Nishida is overthrown, he is able to deny his role in Japan's saber-rattling and wartime atrocities and instead blame it all on Tamogami and his goons.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a Japanese nationalist, Nishida knows that invading China is unfeasible and would lead to hundreds of deaths for Japan, and will only do so if Tamogami's Plot succeeds and gives him no other choice but to invade.

* Realpolitik: Muneo seeks a closer relationship with China and the USSR for opportunistic reasons.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Interestingly enough, Muneo isn't this in opposition to [[CorruptPolitician Corrupt Politicians]]. He ''is'' the Corrupt Politician, but uses his illicit activities to secure genuinely good policies in the face of any opposition.

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Koike sided with the opposition only because the military coup overthrew Ishihara, she doesn't believe in their cause.

* {{Nepotism}}: As he is making his bid to become Governor of Hokkaido, Muneo leaves his seat in the House to his daughter.

Though Muto's IJA government kept civilians away from high-ranking government posts, Prefectural Assemblies were up for grabs. And so, After Nikai's father passed away, he decided to return to Wakayama and take his father's seat. Thus began his career.\\\

->'''Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Naoto Kan was born in 1946, the son of an executive, and, following the tradition of soon-to-be Japanese politicians, he sought a career in the field of law. From early on, he participated in grassroots student movements, interacting with progressives like Ichikawa Fusae and flirting with left-wing politics. He sought to formally enter politics in the 70s but was barred from doing so due to the Muto Coup and the political chaos that followed the end of the Great Asian War.\\\

->'''Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]In many ways, Kosei Nakajima would be nothing if not for Tatsuya Hori. Born in Karafuto, he would be raised in Toyohara, and would join the local city hall after graduating from university. Appalled by the state of the Prefecture, he, alog with citizens and local government officials, would form the Karafuto Representation League, advocating for government reform between Karafuto's diverse communities. The organization would be shut down by the IJA in 1988, but would be reorganized in 1991 as the Karafuto Citizens' Association.\\\

->'''Role:''' Head of State, Chairman[[note]]Head of State[[/note]] (Post-war)

It is almost like Nobuo was raised to enter politics. He grew up in Manchuria with his grandfather, the most powerful man in East Asia. From day one, Nobuo wished to emulate him, and would rapidly enter politics after his passing. Being elected to the House of Representatives in 1999, Nobuo would quickly become a favorite of right-wing Japanese media. He attributed the fall of the Empire to the liberal reforms of the 60s, and firmly defended the "Managerial State" model pushed by Nobusuke and Muto. And thus, the reform bureaucrats rose from the ashes.\\\

* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler:The defection of the communists from the Opposition coalition is this for Ozawa.]]

->'''Role:''' Prime Minister[[note]]Head of State[[/note]] (Post-war)

* ButtMonkey: Karafuto as a whole has been this for a long time. Its many prewar woes have ranged from apathy from the central government to abysmal employment brought about by the Zaibatsus being free to exploit cheap Korean labor (and the few Karafuto locals they do employ). Things were looking up during Tatsuya Hori's governorship [[HopeSpot until the Civil War broke out and the Soviet Union took advantage of the situation to try and reclaim Sakhalin]].

* FourStarBadass: Taura's performance during Sino-Japanese War won him the Order of the Rising Sun and a promotion to command of the Northern District Army. He is put in command of Hokkaido's army after its separation from the Opposition because he is the most experienced officer.

->'''Biography''' (Post-war) [[labelnote:Click to show]]In drastically different conditions to those seen in Barcelona and Huliaipole, Kurihara was forced to save anarchy from itself. But as those weeks' events reverberate in the present, he wonders if he is a hero who routed a corrupting force from a pure experiment, or if he is a traitor who betrayed his people, being no better than Bukharinist rabble. Whatever the answer is, he is responsible for something. Like when he allowed the commissars to persecute dissidents like the Chekist scoundrels of the JCP, or when he witnessed the web of corruption being built under his nose, and in both cases, he did nothing. He created this mess. But he might aswell end it.\\\

* JoinOrDie: Yasushi agreed to work with the EAAJAF for his own survival.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Yasushi's re-opening of the communes following the Japanese reunification only empowers the corrupt political commissars even more, and they proceed to turn the anarchist experiment into little more than a military-led junta.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Yasushi only shuts down the communes and overthrows Koichi to give Anarchy a chance at survival.

->'''Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Fusako Shigenobu was born into a military family. Her father served in the war, being deployed to Manchukuo. Her rebellion against everything she knew began in the halls of Meiji University. Becoming involved in the Japanese New Left during its' heyday, she and her colleagues began to radicalize. When the IJA took power, they left it all behind and moved to the USSR. There, they formed the Japanese Red Army; vowing to start a worldwide revolution with their own hands.\\\

->'''Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Mizuho Fukushima is a long-time advocate of civil rights in Japan. Born in 1955 in the city of Nobeoka, she grew up under her mother's wing, who raised her to be yet another "Good Wife, Wise Mother". But as she saw the rise of the Japanese New Left movement, a spark was lit - and so began her time as an activist.\\\

->'''Biography (Post-war):''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Back in those early nights at Sapporo, Fukushima and her allies found themselves isolated - stuck in the north with a small army and strong enemies to the South. But as the harbringers of destruction tired themselves out, the light of Hokkaido began to shine brighter.\\\

->'''Biography (Post-war):''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Muneo Suzuki was once a mediocre politician with a mediocre career, featuring corruption as its highlight. But no more. Ever since he was elected on that faithful day, defeating the progressive coalition and its rivals, it is safe to say he is more than just a crook.\\\

Tamogami's hopes to return home a hero, like the men who served in the Greater East Asian Holy War, were shattered. Coming home from a humiliating war and later from a distant and forgotten conflict, this resentment would add fuel to his ultranationalist views. Retiring in 2008, he would join Ishihara's Imperial Restoration Party and enthusiastically supported him. This would later earn him the post of Minister of Defense, and with Ishihara's approval, Tamogami rapidly prepared the armed forces for the upcoming intervention in China. In the aftermath of the war, Tamogami refused to go through with Ishihara's orders to purge the conservative wing of the IJA, resigning and later participating in the coup. His rivalry with Masahisa Sato damaged the integrity of the junta, and now, he has holed up in Kansai, preparing for what he believes is his duty: to save Japan...[[/labelnote]]

* PragmaticVillainy: Is a wily political operator almost on par with Nobusuke Kishi, his grandfather. From the moment Kishi followed Abe into the Diet, Abe has distrusted him as naive and easily exploted.

* ReluctantRuler: Haruzou was reluctant to enter politics with his sister, and only became Ekashi of the Ainu Moshiri to make sure that his people can survive the madness of the civil war. Upon their victory, Haruzou hands over supreme power to Shizue and chooses to become a merely symbolic figure for the Ainu people.

Horrified, he agreed to work with them for his own survival. A member of the minor Wasp Cell, he served in the rearguard, dealing with logistics. This allowed him to maintain contact with the Front's communes, and his Cell would be instrumental in Toyama's Coup. Seen as a hero, Kurihara was elected political commissar of the 12th "Kaihe Brigade. But although anarchy was restored, Kurihara witnessed the power of the communes eroded by Toyama's lackeys. With no other choice, he did the unthinkable, shutting down the communes and couping Toyama.

->'''Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]The history of the Buraku liberation movement is shrouded in controversy. And there is no better example of this than Ryu Matsumoto. His grandfather, Jiichirō, was the founder of the National Levelers' Association, and later a member of the Taisei Yokusankai. During the war, Jiichirō enthusiastically supported Japan's Imperialism, but would align himself with the reformists when Tajo was removed from power. By speaking in favor of the Ikeda Reforms and granting funds to Buraku activists, he redeemed himself in the eyes of the Burakumin.\\\
Though the BLL was founded only 20 years ago, it is the third incarnation of past liberation movements. Their predecessor was the Buraku National Liberation Committee, founded in 1968 by Zennosuke Asada. Asada was controversial, purging the committee and collaborating with Mutō) to ensure the survival of the organization. Needless to say, the BNLC died with Asada. And that is where Ryu came in. He had taken his adoptive father's seat in the House of Representatives and spoke in favor of Burakumin rights. He would be one of the founders of the BLL and later served as its chairman. Like his predecessors, Ryu has abused the BLL and its' goals. But the BLL was all the Burakumin had - and when they lost everything, Ryu took advantage of it. Now, he's the de jure leader of the uprising, and hopes to take back the ground he's lost...[[/labelnote]]
