And by the way, from the promo, it said Japan would rise again, not AMerica would fall. IN theory, they could use the character as a pro Japanese character interested in bringing respect. There is a possibility that this angle could not be anti-American... Chances are it will be though.
Hell I think most people with at least a junior high education should be familiar with Hiroshima. Hirohito should simply use Hiroshima as a reference to why Japan actually "went down" in the first place, not make it the central focus of his character.

I think Hirohito being a Pro-Japanese characrter can parallel with La Resistance being Pro-French. What I noticed is lately the foreign gimmicks have turned from Anti-American to Pro-Wherever you're from, and I think that adds more diversity to the roster, and allows fans to actually think about what other cultures are really like. Let's face it, Anti-American gimmicks are stale now anyways.
