Tokugawa Mochinaga (徳川茂徳,June 11,1831 – March 6,1884) was a Japanese samurai who was an influential figure of the Bakumatsu period. His childhood name was Chinzaburo (鎮三郎).
The son of Matsudaira Yoshitatsu of Takasu han,his brothers included the famous Matsudaira Katamori,Matsudaira Sadaaki,and Tokugawa Yoshikatsu. Together,the four men were known as the Takasu yon-kyōdai 高須四兄弟,or "Four Brothers of Takasu". First serving as daimyō of his native Takasu Domain,and then the Owari Domain,Mochiharu retired before succeeding to the headship of the Hitotsubashi branch of the Tokugawa house. An important figure in the Bakumatsu period,he eventually retired the Hitotsubashi headship in favor of his son Satomichi.
Prince Tokugawa Yoshinobu was the 15th and last shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan. He was part of a movement which aimed to reform the aging shogunate,but was ultimately unsuccessful. He resigned his position as shogun in late 1867,while aiming at keeping some political influence. After these efforts failed following the defeat at the Battle of Toba–Fushimi in early 1868,he went into retirement,and largely avoided the public eye for the rest of his life.
Tokugawa Nariaki was a Japanese daimyō who ruled the Mito Domain and contributed to the rise of nationalism and the Meiji Restoration.
Tokugawa Ienari was the eleventh and longest-serving shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan who held office from 1787 to 1837. He was a great-grandson of the eighth shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune through his son Munetada (1721–1764),head of the Hitotsubashi branch of the family,and his grandson Harusada (1751–1827).
Matsudaira Katamori was a samurai who lived in Bakumatsu period and the early to mid Meiji period Japan. He was the 9th daimyō of the Aizu Domain and the Kyoto Shugoshoku. He initiated and established the Shinsengumi in 1863. During the Boshin War,he led Aizu Domain against the incipient Meiji government,but was severely defeated at the Battle of Aizu. Katamori's life was spared,and he later became the head kannushi of the NikkōTōshō-gūshrine. He,along with his three brothers Matsudaira Sadaaki,Tokugawa Yoshikatsu,and Tokugawa Mochiharu,had highly influential roles during the Meiji restoration and were called the "four Takasu brothers".
The Go-san-kyō were three branches of the Tokugawa clan of Japan. They were descended from the eighth of the fifteen Tokugawa shōguns,Yoshimune (1684–1751). Yoshimune established the Gosankyo to augment the Gosanke,the heads of the powerful han (fiefs) of Owari,Kishū,and Mito. Two of his sons,together with the second son of his successor Ieshige,established the Tayasu,Hitotsubashi,and Shimizu branches of the Tokugawa. Unlike the Gosanke,they did not rule a han. Still,they remained prominent until the end of Tokugawa rule,and some later shōguns were chosen from the Hitotsubashi line.
The Matsudaira clan was a Japanese samurai clan that descended from the Minamoto clan. It originated in and took its name from Matsudaira village,in Mikawa Province. During the Sengoku period,the chieftain of the main line of the Matsudaira clan,Matsudaira Motoyasu became a powerful regional daimyo under Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi and changed his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu. He subsequently seized power as the first shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate which ruled Japan during the Edo period until the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Under the Tokugawa shogunate,many cadet branches of the clan retained the Matsudaira surname,and numerous new branches were formed in the decades after Ieyasu. Some of those branches were also of daimyō status.
