Credited as the third unifier of Japan and the man who kickstarted the Tokugawa Shogunate that would rule Japan for over 200 years. Ieyasu has been around since the early era of [[Oda Nobunaga]]. Born named Matsudaira Takechiyo; his first claim of event in history is being the man who stabilized his clan's survival... [[James Bondage|by being a hostage for the Imagawa Clan]]. As a hostage, Takechiyo starts learning a lot, especially about the arts of war and later even changed his name into Matsudaira Motonobu, and later Motoyasu. When Imagawa Yoshimoto fell to [[Oda Nobunaga]]'s might, Motoyasu declared independence, allied himself with Nobunaga and proceeds to strengthen his home base Mikawa, getting himself some powerful generals (including [[Hattori Hanzo]] and the [[Badass]] Honda Tadakatsu), then changed his name into ''Tokugawa Ieyasu''.
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* Ieyasu is mentioned in ''[[Onimusha]]: Dawn of Dreams'' as Soki's uncle. However, Soki thinks he's just a useless lapdog to Hideyoshi.
* In ''[[Samurai Deeper Kyo]]'', Ieyasu is a literal [[Fat Bastard]]... {{spoiler|until it's revealed that this fat bastard was just a Kagemusha. The REAL Ieyasu took the guise of [[Hattori Hanzo]].}}
* Capcom's ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' has an... interesting take on Ieyasu. Early on in the series, he's a short, plump, impatient little brat; and while he's virtuous, he's also rather incompetent, relies too much on Tadakatsu, and [[James Bondage|gets kidnapped way too often]]. But in the third game, [[She's All Grown Up|he grew up]], [[Took a Level
** In his first incarnation Takeda Shingen drives the point home (at least in the anime) by addressing him as Takechiyo, his ''childhood name'' he used before coming of age (Ieyasu is technically his adult name, though historically he changed his name to "Tokugawa Ieyasu" much later).
* In ''[[Saber Marionette J]]'', the Japoness is led by a man named Tokugawa Ieyasu. He looks like a normal old man usually, but flashback reveals that [[I Was Quite a Looker|he's just as bishonen as the protagonist Otaru]] when he's younger.
* ''Saihai no Yukue'', an [[Ace Attorney]]-like game based on Sengoku era (by Koei) features Ieyasu as a [[Fat Bastard]] antagonist, while our protagonist is the [[Bishonen]] Ishida Mitsunari. Though, {{spoiler|in the end, it's subverted that Ieyasu was suckered by the true villain of the series: Lady Yodo.}}
* The Japanese campaign of ''[[Age of Empires III]]: The Asian Dynasties'' is about his rise to power, with help from the player character.
* One of the few works where Ieyasu is arguably the villain would be in Futaro Yamada's ''The Kouga Ninja Scrolls'', with Ieyasu pitting the warring Kouga and Iga ninja clans in a free-for-all simply to determine {{spoiler|who among his grandchildren would ascend to the Shogunate, setting off the tragic events for all participants.}} The manga and anime adaptation of the story, [[Basilisk]] takes this [[Up to Eleven]] and [[Gonk
* Tokugawa is the leader of the Japanese civilization in the second, third, and fourth installments of the ''[[Civilization]]'' series of games; he is noted for being particularly isolationist in ''IV''. He gets replaced by Nobunaga in V.
* The character of Toranaga in James Clavell's novel ''Shogun'' is based on Ieyasu.
