Shogun of Yamatai

The Shogun of Yamatai (将軍) is the highest-ranking officer and the overall commander of the Yamatai Imperial Military. He is the principal military adviser to the Empress of Yamatai, a member of the Imperial Triumvirate, and is the ultimate authority within the Imperial Military. Outranking all of the other members of the Imperial Military High Council, the Shogun also has operational command authority over the armed forces. In the Imperial hierarchy, the Shogun is on par with the Prime Minister of Yamatai. Currently, the Shogun is Tatewaki Katase.

The Shogun's duties include advising the Empress on the military affairs of the state, reviewing, approving and overseeing theatre-level combat operations, reviewing high-level research and development requests and monitoring and regulating the activities of the three main branches of the Imperial Military. The Shogun may also observe and take personal command of small-scale actions if the action is a matter of national security or of personal interest to the Empress. The Shogun is also permitted to take command of any military unit of any size, personally leading on the battlefield, though this is rarely carried out.

The Imperial Military High Council, consisting of military leadership personnel from all the services, assists the Shogun in fulfilling his duties and functions as a conduit and collector of information between the Shogun and the combatant commanders.
