Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川 家康; 1543 – 1616), born Matsudaira Takechiyo (松平 元康),[1] was a daimyō during the Sengoku period of Japan, and the last of Japan's three great unifiers (三英傑) who founded the Tokugawa shogunate and ruled as its first shōgun.

Ieyasu actively opposed the Portuguese Jesuit missionaries spreading Christianity—and veiled Templar influence—through the country. As such, he tasked his former squire Chaya Shirōjirō Kiyonobu with reporting any Templar activity in the land, and was the lord of the Japanese Assassin Hattori Hanzō. At the Battle of Sekigahara on 21 October 1600, Ieyasu defeated Ishida Mitsunari and united the land under the Tokugawa clan, who would reign until 1868.

Behind the scenes

Tokugawa Ieyasu was introduced to the Assassin's Creed franchise in the mobile game Assassin's Creed: Memories. While not clearly identified as an Assassin, the game depicts Tokugawa Ieyasu giving orders and missions to Assassins like Yamauchi Taka or Hattori Hanzō, as well wearing a helmet emblazoned with the Assassin insignia, which might imply that Ieyasu was an Assassin himself.
