Tokugawa Ieyasu was born on January 31, 1543 in the Mikawa province.

 Tokugawa Ieyasu
Ieyasu won the single notable battle of this campaign, at Nagakute, and by the end of the year a truce was in effect.
Ieyasu's ace in the hole, however, was knowledge that Kobayakawa Hideaki intended to betray Ishida during the battle, and the knowledge (provided by Kikkawa Tsunie) that the Môri (who had been insulted by Ishida) were none too eager to fight.
Ieyasu was not praticulary well-known for his sentimentality, but he did attempt to make good on his promise to Ujizane, suggesting to Oda in 1582 (after the defeat of the Takeda) that the former Imagawa daimyô be given back Sumpu.

 The Tokugawa generals
Ieyasu was the son of Matsudaira Hirotada and spent his youth as a hostage of the Imagawa.
Mototada served Ieyasu from childhood (whom he attended to while both were hostages of the Imagawa at Sumpu) and was served in many campaigns, including Nagashino (where he helped erect that battle's well-known palisades) and the abortive 1585 attempt to bring Sanada Masayuki of Shinano into line.
His final parting with Ieyasu just prior to the start of the campaign (made in the knowledge of the inevitability of Mototada's death) was said to have been quite moving, and the news of his death reportedly saddened Ieyasu greatly.

Ieyasu died in 1616, but the continuity of Tokugawa rule was not in much doubt since he had transferred his titles - including that of shogun - to his son Hidetada in 1605.

What happened at Sekigahara was that Ieyasu forced his defeated enemies to acknowledge him as their lord.
Ieyasu did Hideyoshi one better though; he made it legal for any samurai to kill any commoner who was rude to the samurai.
Thus, although the daimyo ruled their individual fiefs independent of the Bakufu, their behavior in matters national was under Ieyasus control and the shogun had a very wide view of what constituted national matters.

It was there that Ieyasu, facing troubling intrigues by his rival, Ishida Mitsunari, took the time to observe a demonstration of martial arts by a relatively unknown country samurai, Muneyoshi.
Ieyasu, always one to take advantage of such encounters with great men, wrote a note on the spot awarding Muneyoshi a stipend of 200 koku (-a koku is an ancient measure roughly equivalent to the yearly intake of rice by one person.
When Ieyasu enlisted the aid of the Yagyu, some historians speculate that while it was ostensibly because of the family's swordsmanship skills, what Ieyasu was really after was the clan's connections to other other warrior families that controlled the Yamato area.

With Hidetada in power, Tokugawa Ieyasu could rest assured that power would pass peacefully to the next generation of Tokugawa shoguns.
Tokugawa Ieyasu continued to exercise real control over Japan from retirement and also wrote works on government.
