Imperial Court in Kyoto was the nominal ruling government of Japan from 794 AD until the Meiji Era, in which the court was moved to Tokyo and integrated into the Meiji government. The shogunate system came after the Imperial Court, in which Minamoto no Yoritomo created in 1192, and became the first Shogun of Japan. Since Minamoto no Yoritomo launched the shogunate, the true power had been in the hand of the Shoguns, who were mistaken several times for the Emperors of Japan by western countries.
