Rules
You can only be a Field Marshal of Fleet Admiral if your post demands you to command fellow Generals, i.e. as a Governor-General of a place or the Overall Commander of a theatre of war. Otherwise General/Admiral is the pinnacle rank for most. Politically they are equivalent, but militarily the FM/FA ranks outrank Generals/Admirals.

High Council

 * Imperial Grand Marshal Tsukiyama Tomoko: The Imperial Grand Marshal in charge of Yamatai throughout the war.
 * Imperial Grand Marshal Takagi Hidenori: The Marshal of the Imperial Army for much of the war, he became the Imperial Grand Marshal after Tsukiyama suddenly died. He attempted to continue fighting, but after the Peace Faction achieved the ceasefire, he killed himself.
 * General Tsuji Masanobu: The Minister of Internal Security and the Head of the Kenpeitai for the entire war.

Imperial Army

 * Marshal of the Imperial Army Watanabe Kentaro:
 * Chisei Dudes
 * Field Marshal Kishimoto Ichirō: Governor-General of Chisei at the start of the war. He was complacent after the lack of a Chiseian offensive in the winter and stood down his forces, and they paid the price. So he resigned and Field Marshal Yamori Kenta took over.
 * Field Marshal Yamori Kenta: Initially the General in charge of the Shirakawa Command District, he was promoted to Field Marshal and made Governor-General of Chisei after Kishimoto's resignation. His role was largely limited to administrative tasks in the New Territories, and crushing rebellion. After being recalled to Heian following the collapse of the New Territories, he heavily opposed the Peace Faction. He was arrested by the Peace Faction during the Senbonzakura Incident for his troubles and later killed himself once peace was attained.
 * Field Marshal Maeda Yumeno: The initial overall commander of Imperial Army forces in Chisei. She was in command of the mainland war effort, coordinating the defence of the New Territories until Operation Oka began in 1937. She ceded her position to Miyazaki Reizo and was transferred to Songthom, where she was the overall commander of the Invasion of Nakgaang.

Later put in command of Yamataian Army Group South during Operation Oka. Was the one who reached Eito first. Later promoted to Field Marshal and became the Chief Army Strategist after the Third Battle of Wanshi. Became part of the Peace Faction and was one of the signatories of the Treaty of Senbonzakura. Is considered a war hero and is the centre of many myths and legends, alongside his contemporary General Nakamura, the Dragon of Nakgaang.
 * General Kishitani Shūgo: Initially in command of the Shirakawa Command District in Chisei, and later became the commander of Army Group Central. He was killed by a Shenxian airstrike in 1941.
 * General Yamagishi Kageaki: Initially a Lieutenant-General in command of the 6th Army under General Kishitani Shūgo, later became commander of the Army Group Central after Kishitani's death in 1941. A protege and ally of Field Marshal Inaba who also warned of the oncoming war but was ignored.
 * General Kitagawa Ryōichi: Initially the commander of the Northern Command District in Chisei and a Lieutenant-General, upon the outbreak of war he assumed command of the 2nd Army, under Army Group Central. He was the one who unexpectedly attacked to the north-west and captured Amagishi in the opening months of the war in order to secure the port. Was promoted to General after this and commanded Army Group North as it began amphibious operations in the northern part of Chisei.

Imperial Navy

 * Combined Fleet
 * Marshal of the Imperial Navy Kondō Mari: The overall commander of the Imperial Navy prior to and in the opening stages of the war. She was a great but traditional naval strategist and led the Imperial Navy to maintain superiority for numerous years until she was killed when her plane was shot down over Yeongseon in 1940. She was resistant to the idea of aircraft carriers being anything more than escorts for battleships and as a result the Imperial Navy suffered.

 * Northern Flotilla: Stationed in the north of Yamatai and the main expeditionary force.
 * Fleet Admiral Katase Megumi: The former Imperial Grand Marshal, she commanded the Imperial Navy's 2nd Mobile Fleet, which operated in the Hokkai Sea and the Sea of Yashima. She was later injured in an assassination attempt in Wanshi in 1941 and retired.
