shogun Title of the military ruler of Japan, first conferred upon Yoritomo in 1192. The Minamoto (1192–1333), Ashikaga (1338–1568), and Tokugawa (1603–1868) shogunates in effect ruled feudal Japan, although the Emperor retained ceremonial and religious duties. The Shogunate ended with the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
