The Rōjū (" Elder ") Abe Masahiro, who in fact had all the political power within the Bakafu, surprisingly counseled the daimyos, aristocrats and even the Imperial Court.

Under the reign of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi ( 1680 – 1709 ), however, the Rōjū lost nearly all their power, as the Shogun began to work more closely with the Tairō, Chamberlains, and others, including Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, who held the power of a Tairō, but not the title.

The Rōjū became little more than messengers, going through the motions of their proper roles as intermediaries between the Shogun and other offices, but not being able to exercise any power to change or decide policy.

Even after Tsunayoshi's death, the Rōjū did not regain their former power.

When Hotta Masayoshi, a Rōjū of the Tokugawa government came to Kyoto to obtain imperial permission to sign the Treaty of Amity and Commerce ( United States-Japan ) in 1858, Iwakura gathered courtiers who opposed the treaty and attempted to hinder negotiations between the Shōgun and the Court.

He steadily rose through the ranks of the Rōjū to become Senior Rōjū in 1839.

The term refers either to individual Elders, or to the Council as a whole ; under the first two shoguns, there were only two Rōjū.

The Rōjū served not simultaneously, but in rotation, each serving the Shogun for a month at a time, communicating with the Shogun through a chamberlain, called Soba-yōnin.

As part of the Hyōjōsho, the Rōjū sometimes served a role similar to that of a supreme court, deciding succession disputes and other such disputed matters of state.
