The Japanese Empire signed the terms of surrender on the U.S.S. Missouri. Hirohito was not present, IIRC.

Can President Obama restrain himself enough to tell the truth about something?

The formal surrender occurred on September 2, 1945 when representatives from the Empire of Japan signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender in Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Missouri. Shigemitsu signed for the civil government, while Gen. Umezu signed for the military.
