Ieyasu Tokugawa (Sengoku BASARA)

Ieyasu Tokugawa, also known as Irdene, is a character from the Sengoku Basara series of games.

Personality
Ieyasu Tokugawa is at first a far cry from his usual appearance in various media, portrayed as a little kid with very limited patience. He was a young boy with high ambitions and tends to speak as if he is an old man. Rather lacking in war capabilities and personal battle, Ieyasu put great trust on his army, and especially his mighty warrior Tadakatsu Honda. He was usually referred to by his child name "Takechiyo". Because of that, he was prone to getting kidnapped and had to depend on Iron Ox to rescue him, making him look like a pathetic, over-dependent daimyo.

This changes in Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, where he is depicted to have grown up and has taken position as one of the main characters of the game alongside Yukimura Sanada and Masamune Date, signifying that he is now able to take care of himself.

Description
Ieyasu Tokugawa is a character who had his first major role in Sengoku BASARA 3. In Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes, Tokugawa Ieyasu along with his loyal general Honda Tadakatsu by his side, sought to conquer the land. However, due to him being a child he wasn't taken seriously by the other warlords. Ieyasu wound up fighting in Oda Nobunaga's army, as the Oda were intimidated by Tadakatsu's strength. After Nobunaga was killed by Akechi Mitsuhide and Mitsuhide was killed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the latter began conquering the land. Ieyasu surrendered to Hideyoshi and became one of his generals. Eventually, after seeing Hideyoshi's lust for power, Ieyasu rebels against him and kills him, sparking off the events of Sengoku Basara 3.

In his newest appearance, Ieyasu is now a young adult with an extremely sexy build and abs and leads the Eastern Army against Mitsunari Ishida, who hates him for Hideyoshi's death. Ieyasu wishes to unite the country with his power of bonds. Much of his paths are dedicated to seeking out allies to assist him in fighting the Western Army.

Ieyasu is often referred to by older generals by his childhood name "Takechiyo", even after his appearance is updated.
