Daimyo Tokugawa Ieyasu lives a life of cutthroat survival, following the motto: “Life means that I can live to see tomorrow.” When he speaks, he does so with certainty, as if whatever he says has already come to pass. When he strikes, he does so first swiftly and without a hint of mercy.

Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543 – 1616) was the Shogun of Japan. He appears on both random maps and campaign scenarios in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties. He is also the AI personality of the Japanese. Tokugawa Ieyasu was known for many very daring battles, like the Battle of Sekigahara.

Campaign[]

Biography[]

Tokugawa Ieyasu has spent his life making the most of complicated situations, and in doing so he has become Japan's most feared and unpredictable opportunist. After many years of preying on the weak and taking advantage of shifting alliances, Ieyasu receded into the background as other clans began final campaigns to compete for total power of Japan. During this time, Ieyasu spent his years of peace preparing a strategy in which to usurp the power of the victor, whoever it might be.

In the end, Ieyasu's rival Toyotomi Hideyoshi destroyed all his enemies and became the undisputed ruler and unifier of Japan. Still, Ieyasu waited.

With Toyotomi's death in 1598, Tokugawa chose to move forward with his campaign to seize control. Ieyasu chose Kichiro to leads his armies because of the boy's unshakable loyalty to his master. The young Kichiro was raised believing he was taken in by the daimyo as an orphan, when in fact he was orphaned by the daimyo himself. It was Ieyasu who, after declaring victory over a Sakuma clan uprising, ordered the deaths of the Sakuma daimyo and his wife. Only afterwards did he realize that the couple had a child, a six-year-old boy named Kichiro.

In Act I: Japan, Tokugawa exploits and attempts to conquer all of Japan's regions to become Shogun. Tokugawa commands one of his best generals, Sakuma Kichiro, to lead his armies. General Kichiro is the main protagonist. Kichiro pledges mighty loyalty to his lord, but little does he know that the future Shogun is the man who ordered his parents' deaths. Later on, a Shima General tells him the truth. Kichiro, in his fury of disbelief, slays him. Daimyo Mototada tells him the truth. But in the end, Kichiro continues his service to Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa then becomes Shogun of Japan, rivaling the Emperor's power and wealth.

In-game unit (campaign)[]

Future Shogun of Japan.
—In-game description

Tokugawa fights with a katana and has the ability to train Japanese infantry, cavalry, and artillery, as well as the Shinobi, but cannot move and attack while doing so, receive Home City shipments, and use Convert Guardian which is similar to Nature Friendship used by War Chiefs.

Like other heroes, Tokugawa has many hit points, but if he falls, he will collapse instead of dying and need to regenerate enough hit points to be rescued by allies. He can collect treasures but, unlike Sohei Archer, cannot build Trading Posts, Shrines, and Town Centers.

Combined with the Bakufu and Veteran Battery Home City Cards, Tokugawa can train units nearly instantaneously.

Special ability[]

  • Nature friendship Convert Guardian: Converts a treasure guardian to Tokugawa's side with the process taking 4 seconds to complete. 90 seconds cooldown.

History[]

Born in war, Tokugawa Ieyasu thrived on conflict, rising to such prominence that his very name has become associated with one of Japan's most powerful and significant eras. His given name was Matsudaira Takechiyo. At the time of his birth, his parents were only 15 and 17 years old, and in less than two years, his mother was dismissed and the couple separated permanently. With his mother gone, Takechiyo quickly became embroiled in the brutal affairs of his father's family, the Matsudaira clan.

During Takechiyo's childhood, the Matsudaira was torn in its allegiance. Half of the family wished to side with the Imagawa clan, while the other side preferred the Oda clan. In 1548, when the Oda clan invaded their province, Takechiyo's father went to the Imagawa clan for help. The leader of the Imagawa agreed to aid the Matsidaira clan, but on one condition: that young Takechiyo, a six-year-old boy, be given as a hostage. His father agreed. But before the exchange could be carried out, the leader of the Oda clan learned of the arrangement and had the boy abducted en route to his destination. The Oda threatened to kill the boy if Matsudaira did not sever his ties with the Imagawa, their sworn enemy. The boy's father refused. He believed his actions would prove his loyalty to his ally, even at the expense of his own son. Takechiyo stayed with the Oda for three years, until their castle was besieged by the Imagawa and he was given to them as incentive to cease their attack. Ever since his birth, the boy had been little more than a pawn in the affairs of those around him.

In 1567, Matsudaira Takechiyo changed his given name to Ieyasu, and took the surname Tokugawa, thus claiming descent from the imperial Minamoto clan, although no proof supporting this connection has ever been discovered. By taking this name, Ieyasu made his ambitions quite clear. Not only did he distance himself from his past, but he also hinted at a confident and commanding future. By that time he was the veteran of many wars and had gained a reputation as a fearless and crafty general, prone to taking the best advantage of shifting alliances and family rifts. He had used his alliances to build up his territory and gain influence, allying first with the powerful Oda Nobunaga, and then with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was slowly uniting the warring clans into a tenuous coalition. Hen Hideyoshi invaded Korea in the 1590s; Ieyasu wisely chose not to participate, and instead focused on domestic production and organizing his army. While other generals sent their men to die in the disastrous invasions, Ieyasu waited and watched.

When Hideyoshi died in 1598, his lands suddenly became targets for all of his former enemies turned allies, and none of these men were as powerful as Tokugawa Ieyasu. During the legendary Sekigahara campaign (1598-1600), Ieyasu and those loyal to him defeated the army of loyalists who had sworn to protect the dynasty of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At the Battle of Sekigahara in October 1600, Ieyasu claimed ultimate victory, executing his enemies and rewarding his friends.

Two years later he received the title of shogun and established the Tokugawa Shogunate, ushering in the Edo period, a military dictatorship that lasted until 1868.

Trivia[]
