A shogun was the real military ruler of Japan for centuries, until the middle of the 1800s. Japan still had an emperor, but for a long time the shogun held the army and the government. The last long line of shoguns, the Tokugawa family, lost that power in 1868, when rule went back to the emperor. English keeps the Japanese word; we do not say “Japanese general” if we mean this office. It is a history word. You meet it in textbooks and in films about old Japan, not in talk about today’s army.
幕府將軍（日本史上的職稱；單說「將軍」會變成任何將軍）
組成From Japanese 将軍 (shōgun), short for 征夷大将軍, “general who overcomes the barbarians”, from Middle Chinese. It is a doublet of Chinese 將軍.
