Shogun

Shogun (将軍, shōgun, Japanese: [ɕoːɡɯɴ] (listen); English: SHOH-gun) was the title of the military dictators of Japan during most of the period spanning from 1185 to 1868. Nominally appointed by the Emperor, shoguns were usually the de facto rulers of the country, though during part of the Kamakura period shoguns were themselves figureheads.
