Dai-gensui
''Dai-gensui'' () was the highest rank of the Greater Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy from the 1870s to 1945, when the Empire of Japan was dissolved. Only ever held by the Emperor of Japan as commander-in-chief of the Empire, the rank was equivalent to a ''generalissimo'' or general of the armies (a six-star rank), and senior to the rank of ''gensui'' ("marshal"). It formally became obsolete in 1947 when the Imperial Japanese armed forces were abolished.
==History==
The term originated in the Chinese military title ''da yuan shuai''(大元帥), a title higher than ''yuan shuai''(元帥, pronounced ''gensui'' in Japanese).
Decree No. 252 by the ''Dajokan'', dated 7 September 1872 first made formal mention of the rank of ''dai-gensui''; however, no appointments to the rank were made before the rank was abolished along with that of ''gensui'' on 8 May 1873. By "Draft Ordinance No. 142" of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan (Chapter 1 Part 1) of 30 September 1889, the Emperor was officially given the rank of ''dai-gensui'' and installed as supreme commander of the Army and Navy.
The ''kanji'' characters also refer to a Buddhist deity, Daigensui Myō'ō (大元帥明王), a Wisdom King worshipped by the Imperial Court since Emperor Ninmyō and by the Shingon sect, for its legendary miraculous power to quell foreign enemies and rebellions, just like a military leader.
