Ieyasu Tokugawa

Ieyasu Tokugawa is the founder of the Tokugawa clan. He is known in contemporary times as one of the three unifiers of Japan, preceded by Nobunaga Oda and Hideyoshi Toyotomi. He is best known for establishing the Tokugawa shogunate, the last military regime of its kind in Japanese history. After his death, Ieyasu was worshiped during the Edo period as the great harbinger of peace who ended the land's long era of warfare and turmoil. Meiji period folklore led to a popular slur for him, "old man tanuki" (狸親父, tanuki oyaji), which was made by his detractors due to his sly craftiness. His successor is Hidetada.

His first appearance in the Samurai Warriors series occurred in the series's starting title, in which he was a non-playable unique character. He became a playable character in Samurai Warriors 2. Ieyasu places last in Gamecity's Sengoku Musou 3: Empires character popularity poll. For the Samurai Warriors 4 poll, he is voted fiftieth place.

In Saihai no Yukue, his height is 165 cm (close to 5'5") and he is 55 years old. His hobby is caring for his health and longevity; his favorite food are simmered dishes.

Ieyasu's Nobunaga's Ambition counterpart is eighteenth place in Gamecity's character popularity ranking for 2015. The Nobunaga no Yabou 201X poll for 4-star officers puts him in sixty-eighth place. He placed eighth in the Nobunaga no Yabou Taishi poll for most favorite father; fans voted him fifth for the best leader poll.

His Geten no Hana counterpart has two image songs, Shiawase Biyori and Hikari Sasu Mirai he.
