General Hideki Tojo became the Prime Minister of Japan in October 1941, more as a symbol of the success of the pro-war faction he led, than because of his own political ability.
He made the final decision to lead his country into war with the U.S. and Britain, but he was not an absolute dictator like Mussolini or Hitler, and this was largely a matter of taking the last step in the plan that the rest of the government had finally accepted.
Tojo was a highly capable bureaucrat, who did not so much lead Japan, as carry out the policies decided by the imperial cabinet.

 New Movie Makes Tojo A Hero - CBS News
And Tojo, who served as prime minister from 1941 to 1944 and gave the go-ahead for the attack on Pearl Harbor, is a would-be savior rather than a bloodthirsty general, according to this argument.
Producer Masao Sato says that by portraying the human side of Tojo, through his family relationships and stoicism during the Allied war tribunal that ordered his execution, the film seeks to kindle a more nuanced debate about Tojo.
In one scene, Tojo refuses to believe that Japanese forces carried out the 1937 "Rape of Nanking," which China estimates resulted in the deaths of 300,000 people, mainly disarmed Chinese soldiers and civilians.
