Gen Fellers arrived in Japan with MacArthur's staff. Fellers was immediately appointed guardian to Emperor Hirohito. and went to work to protect Hirohito from the role he had played during and at the end of the war. Fellers's overriding goals were to confirm the effectiveness of his own wartime propaganda program, and, at the same time, to shield Hirohito from standing at the war crimes tribunal. .
