	Shikken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		At first the post of shikken was occupied by the tokuso, the head of the Hojo clan, but Hojo Tokiyori separated the two posts.

	Land of the Shogun
		Still, all Japan's effective rulers, from the Fujiwara and Hojo regents to the Minamoto, Ashikaga and Tokugawa shoguns, respected the emperor and were anxious to secure their legitimacy as rulers of Japan by seeking approval from the imperial throne.
		Hojo Masako's brother, Yoshitoki, was a dominant figure at Kamakura at the time, but neither he nor any of successors ever made a move to usurp the position of shogun.
		Hojo Tokimasa took the post of Chief of the Administrative Office and his title, shikken, came to mean "shogunal regent." In 1225, Yoshitoki's son Yasutoki created a Council of State to broaden participation in the government and made and uncle a "co-signer" of government decrees to share responsibility with him.
