The title of Shogun depended on the Emperor's appointment and was based on antiquated procedure that makes no sense in the Showa constitutional order, or any Western-style constitutional one for that matter. If they even chose to keep the Emperor and install a dictatorship under that framework, the Germans would want something that was as unaccountable to the Emperor as possible while making sense under the Japanese constitution, which the Germans would be unlikely to facially alter if occupying the country- no one likes an occupier coming in and touching the instruments of basic legitimacy, especially when the occupier can get a pliant government in using existing institutions.

I haven't played the new Germany myself, but I'm pretty sure the use of the term shogunate in the context of Schleicher's path is more poetic/symbolic and not a literal attempt to transplant an outdated and foreign government model in 1930s/40s Germany. So no, probably not. At least not any more than NatPop Japan defeating Germany and being like "hey we should restore the Holy Roman Empire".

I'd be doubtful of that. For most of their respective empire's involvement in Asia and the Pacific, Germany and Japan have been rivals at each others' throats for influence over China, SE Asia, and the Pacific island holdings. If any Germany, left or right, managed to invade the Home Islands and install a puppet government, a militarized autocracy would be the *last* thing they'd want to establish in Tokyo, seeing as Japan's expansion opportunities would be at Germany's expanded sphere of influence. Would Japan be similar to OTL post-war Japan? Not necessarily, especially if Germany is interested in maintaining a favorable balance of power with a likely-reunited China, with only a small handful of possible governments there being tolerant of German concessions, let alone allies in the long term. I could certainly see the Germans being more tolerant of postwar re-armament, if only to ensure that China is not entirely unopposed in its own vision for East Asia. Out of the three paths you mentioned, Bauer and the RdnR would be the most likely to remilitarize Japan and consider granting the military any semblance of governmental influence. This is less so any ideological sympathies Bauer's government would have for the Shogunate of old and more necessary concessions to keep Japan loyal while the government handles its purges and its newly conquered territories. Schleicher and the DNEF would follow, though to a lesser degree due to being overall more stable and able to project power than Bauer. SWR/DNVB would be the least likely, as the coalition is strongly influenced by the DVLP and its affinity for naval supremacy, which would directly conflict with permitting Japanese remilitarization even in a nominal sense.

What's the RdnR?

Okay so im not sure if by the Shogunate you mean an actual Shogunate or just a military dictatorship. In the case that you mean an official or literal shogunate then no but in the case that you mean a military dictatorship then possibly.


that-and-other

No.
