Ieyasu Tokugawa



"Ieyasu Tokugawa, the founder of the Tokugawa clan, is one of these guys who unified Japan, but he's not the first one. It's right after Nobunaga Oda and Hideyoshi Toyotomi when they did that for the whole country long before I was born. Now he's back from the dead, ready to build a new country: the New Tokugawa Shogunate (NTS). After surviving the assassination, his promise not to attack South Japan is then broken."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Tokugawa
