The shogun was generally the ruler of the country at the time. Tokugawa Ieyasu was one of the most well known and powerful shoguns during his time. He brought great success to Japan during his rule. Tokugawa was born in 1542 and was a natural leader. He was born into the family of a military leader. Due to war and unrest, he was sent away as a hostage.
