Realistically as soon as the Emperor of Japan ratified the "Three Alls" dictate in 1941 he should have been tried and hung as a war criminal.
Japan tried to portray him as an innocent who wasn't involved and didn't know what was going on, but he was a key factor in establishing unit 731, he personally signed the orders allowing for the use of chemical weapons in China and it was in his name that the Imperial Army ransacked and raped and brutally murdered because he defined the honor that they were fighting for.
