In a similar way, when I lived in China I would see Hitler and Osama Bin Laden iconography show up in very weird ironic ways. I had a Han Chinese student who gave himself the "English"/foreign language name Osama. The strange thing was that he was actually very sweet and would always enthusiastically greet me whenever our paths crossed outside the classroom!
Needless to say, I've never come across a Chinese person making ironic jokes about Hirohito.
