 Tokugawa shogunate - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
The Tokugawa shogunate or Tokugawa bakufu (徳川幕府) (also known as the Edo bakufu) was a feudal military dictatorship of Japan established in 1603 by Tokugawa Ieyasu and ruled by the shoguns of the Tokugawa family until 1868.
Tokugawa's descendants further ensured the loyalty by maintaining a dogmatic insistence on loyalty to the Shogun.
The fudai won the power struggle, however, installing Tokugawa Yoshitomi (Iemochi), arresting Nariaki and Keiki, executing Yoshida Shoin (1830–1859, a leading sonnō-jōi intellectual who had opposed the American treaty and plotted a revolution against the bakufu), and signing treaties with the United States and five other nations, thus ending more than 200 years of exclusion.

 Tokugawa shogunate
The Tokugawa shogunate or Tokugawa bakufu (徳川幕府;) (also known as the Edo bakufu) was a feudal military dictatorship established in 1603 by Tokugawa Ieyasu and ruled by the shoguns of the Tokugawa family until 1868.

 Tokugawa Yoshinobu
Born with the name Tokugawa Keiki on 38 October 1837, he was brought up under strict supervision and tutelage by mostly male educators of his father.
After a number of huge losses on the side of the Tokugawa, still reeling from its past weakness, Yoshinobu agreed that the Tokugawa could not win the civil war, and that Japan needed to be united strong against more potent and powerful foreigners.
In 1902, the Meiji Emperor allowed him to reestablish his own house as a Tokugawa branch (beeke) with the highest rank in the peerage, that of prince (kōshaku) for his loyal service to Japan.

The life story of Tokugawa Yoshinobu (1837-1913), the 15th and final successor to the powerful Tokugawa shogunate, is intrinsically interesting and well written to boot.
As the late Shiba admits, the story of Tokugawa Yoshinobu (1837-1913) the 15th and last shogun of Japan, is not one that "lends itself easily to retelling" even for those very familiar with the history of the shogunate?the military, as opposed to the civil, government that ruled Japan.
Yoshinobu seems to have anticipated that the political system that would make him shogun was an unwieldy relic?a prediction that was validated by his tenure of only two years.

For over two centuries the Tokugawas were the real rulers of Japan, though during this era a faction that even included Tokugawa members supported the overthrow of Shogunal rule and the restoration of political power to the emperor.
Yoshinobu assumed the Shogunate in 1867, during the time of uncertainty and faltering confidence that followed the opening of Japan to the West.
During the year that he was Shogun, Yoshinobu expanded foreign contacts and reshaped the government along Western lines, but when challenged by the faction seeking to restore power to the emperor, Yoshinobu retired to his native city to pursue his varied interests.

 Tokugawa Memorial Foundation | About Us
Its founder, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was born a prince in the tiny and endangered dominion of Mikawa (eastern half of present day Aichi prefecture) during Japan's Era of Warring States.
The most marked achievement of the Shogunate was the long period of peace, both external and domestic, lasting from the pacification of the Christian riot in Kyushu in 1638 until the War for the Subjugation of Choshu, fought between the Shogunate and one Daimyo in western Japan in 1866 which ended in the former's defeat.
The Tokugawa Shogunal Household would change its head from Yoshinobu, the last Shogun, to Iesato, born in one of the branch families and who was merely 6 years old when becoming the head of the Household, and it would remain an important pillar of Imperial Japan's aristocracy.

What the Americans found was a technologically backward, though intricately complicated, island nation, under the rule of the House of Tokugawa, that had been isolated from the rest of the world for two and a half centuries.
When the fifteenth and last shogun, Yoshinobu Tokugawa, abdicated his rule and restored the emperor to his ancient seat of power in November 1867, Japan was well on its way to becoming an industrialized nation, rapidly modernizing and Westernizing in a unique Japanese sense.
On the night after the alliance was sealed in Kyoto, Ryoma was ambushed by a Tokugawa police squad, as he and a samurai of Choshu, who had been assigned as Ryoma's bodyguard, celebrated their great success in a second-story room at Ryoma's favorite inn, the Teradaya, on the outskirts of the Imperial capital.

Tokugawa built his army very slowly, but when it was ready to back Oda Nobunaga up in his wars, the few men Tokugawa sent or led by himself never let the ally down.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's army, that he left for his offsprings to maintain, was very much like the World War II Japanese Navy in the matter of discipline, smooth chain of command, individual skills, determination to win, and esprit de corps.
Tokugawa Yoshinobu realized very well that doom was imminent already, that's why he refused the seat to start with -- although he had been talked into accepting the job.

His father, Tokugawa Nariaki, was an advisor to an earlier shogun and arranged to have Yoshinobu (then known as Keiki) adopted into a branch of the Tokugawa family in line for shogunal succession.
Yoshinobu was educated as a scholar and he brought strong leadership skills and reforms to the Shogunate during the tumultuous years following the Japan's opening to the west.

 Tokugawa clan - SamuraiWiki
The Tokugawa served as the Shôgun of Japan from 1603 until 1867 and were therefore the longest - and most stable - of Japan's three bakufu.
The Tokugawa's actual roots are obscure for while Ieyasu claimed descent from the Nitta and therefore the Seiwa-Minamoto, there seems to be little historical evidence of this.
The Tokugawa were 'officially' restored when Ieyasu petitioned the court to allow him to use the name Tokugawa in 1566.
