Akihito was 11 in 1945 so presumably he would have been under the
charge of the Royal Chamberlain or some other senior official -
anybody with an idea who Hirohito might have designated his son's
protector during his minority?

Akihito died too by these bombs. So I am guessing the next in line would be
Prince Chichibu assuming the system works like in the British system, which
I am unsure. From memory, the Emperor had to be approved by the royal
court. This was to stop halfwits from coming to power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuhito,_Prince_Chichibu

He was in China so that he would survive such an air attack. He does not
seem to be the sort of guy that would make peace. He has much to answer for
in war crimes.

Interesting the next one in line would presumably be

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuhito,_Prince_Takamatsu

Who does look like the sort of guy that would make peace?

Royal Chamberlain was a naval admiral.

What is views were on Japan surrender I have no idea. I did a net search
and checked out a book Hirohito by Bix but found nothing about his views.
