Succeeded as second shogun as Ieyasu's heir. At the time of Sekigahara he led the detached force along the Nakasendō, but was held up by Sanada Masayuki at Ueda Castle and arrived too late for the battle, a lifelong stigma. Yet as shogun he steadily consolidated the Tokugawa order, drawing up the Laws for the Military Houses, destroying the Toyotomi at Osaka and bringing the daimyo under control, and laid the foundation of the long peace.
