		The title Shogun is a derivative of Sei-i-tai-shogun, which literally translates as "Great Barbarian Subduing General" and was first used around the sixth century to designate generals sent to subdue caucasian Ainu tribes inhabiting the eastern and northern portions of Honshu.
		His descendents were to continue acting as regents for the shogun until 1333, when the Kamakura Shogunate fell.
		The fifth Kamakura shogun was also a Fujiwara (Yoritsuga), but from 1252 on, the Hojos invited imperial princes to assume the role, while they maintained power.

		Parliamentary government today continues a similar coexistence with the emperor as have various shoguns, regents, warlords, guardians, etc. It is perhaps technically a distortion to use the English word "emperor" to translate the word "tennō".
		From the late 1100s to 1867, the real power was in the hands of the shoguns, who were in theory always given their authority through the emperor.
