Tokugawa Ieyasu

1543 CE1616 CE · Edo (Tokyo)

Tokugawa Ieyasu was a daimyo who allied in turn with Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi before emerging as the paramount power after Hideyoshi's death. His victory at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 left him master of Japan, and in 1603 he was named shogun, founding the Tokugawa (Edo) shogunate. His dynasty imposed a stable, centralized feudal order that gave Japan some two and a half centuries of internal peace during the Edo period.
