[b]Toujou Hideki[/b] (December 30, 1884 – December 23, 1948) was the head of the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] and prime minister of the Empire of [[Japan]] from 1940 to 1944. Widely regarded as a [i]de facto[/i] ruler of Japan's military during [[World War II]] despite only commanding for a few years.

Nicknamed [i]Kamisori[/i] ("The Razor") for his ruthless efficiency in [[military]] administration matters. However, the multiple defeats of the army during the late part of the Pacific War and Toujou's poor command led to his eventual removal by [[Emperor Hirohito]].
