However, my understanding is the Shogun/Daimyo claimed to be ruling on behalf of the emperor, so part of me is surprised nobody even bothers paying lip service to him. Was he really that much of an afterthought, or is this an attempt to simplify the story? I suspect adding another figurehead (in addition to the Taiko's heir) could unnecessarily complicate things for western audiences.
i believe that he's a child and the Daimyos are ruling on his behalf till he is of age?
There was a scene where Taiko asks Toranaga to protect his son from the other Daimyos before he dies.

You are correct. However, I am fairly certain there is an "Emperor" in Kyoto that presumably will have no involvement in the series. So I believe the Daimyo are ruling on behalf of the Taiko's heir, who himself would theoretically rule Japan on 'behalf of the Emperor' once he comes of age.
