More seriously, why not lift part of an earlier suggestion and make him the Shogun? Keep the three-part government, but change the names a bit.
And I've just had an idea, one that makes this all completely legit AND adds a credible sense of danger to this whole deal.
Religous nuts are everywhere. Sometimes they take things to the extreme, as we sadly see in real life. What if there were extremists that felt that Handwavium was against the wishes of God/Allah/Deus/What-Have-You and that all Fen and those that support them are scum to be burned from the Face of All Existence? Japan would become a target. In particular, the Imperial Family because A) The Emperor has a Lasez Fair attitude towards Fen and B) It'd be a huge blow to the Japanese people.
After a rash of failed attempts and no luck in tracking down all the cells, the Emperor decides that to stave off the worst case scenario, part of the Family would be moved to a place where none of these rat-bastards could touch them - among the Fen.
And just to sweeten the deal, they decide to disguise it as an official colonization by Japan - fully legitimate and state-sponsored. The hairy part is going to be making sure that these terrorists do not get one last stab at the out-bound colonists.
Better?
EDIT: Sorry, Rob, I forgot all about that in my burning shame. (^_^
Kampaku might work.
