Hirohito was still the emperor when Married With Children premiered. They definitely still have an emperor.

Currently it’s a ceremonial position… he doesn’t have the power anymore that Navarro was implying as if Powell would suffer consequences if he was in Japan. He’s being ridiculous

Yes, he's being ridiculous. But you wouldn't say the UK doesn't have a king. In both instances, they are still technically the head of state, even if they exist in a system where there is a distinct head of government who exercises actual political power.
