Early life (1579–1593)

Tokugawa Hidetada was born to Tokugawa Ieyasu and one of his many consorts in 1579. His childhood name was Tokugawa Nagamaru. His exact birthdate is unknown. This was shortly after Nagamaru's stepmother (Ieyasu's official wife) and his half-brother Tokugawa Nobuyasu were executed following an accusation that they were planning to assassinate Ieyasu following negotiations with Ieyasu's arch-nemesis, Takeda Shingen. Around this time, Nagamaru's father had allied with the Oda clan under Oda Nobunaga to crush the Takeda under Takeda Shingen. Ieyasu was in a way making a name for himself.

In 1590, the new ruler of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, joined Tokugawa Ieyasu in attacking the Hōjō northeast of Mikawa, the traditional powerbase of the Tokugawa in the Odawara Campaign. Ieyasu had agreed to a deal—if Ieyasu gave up the five provinces currently under his jurisdiction, he would receive the eight Kantō provinces, including the city of Edo. In order to keep Ieyasu in line, and probably to prevent him from ever joining the Hōjō against him (since the Hōjō and the Tokugawa were on a friendly basis), Hideyoshi took the eleven-year-old Nagamaru as a hostage. In 1592, Hideyoshi presided over Nagamaru's coming of age ceremony, and Nagamaru's name became Tokugawa Hidetada. He was named the heir of the Tokugawa family, being the eldest surviving son of Ieyasu, and his favorite (since Ieyasu's eldest son had been previously executed, and his second son was adopted by Hideyoshi while still an infant). In 1593, Hidetada returned to be with his father, Ieyasu.

Early military achievements and Sekigahara (1593–1605)

In 1598, Hideyoshi died, and Hideyoshi's son Toyotomi Hideyori, became the new ruler of Japan, with five regents - one of which was Hidetada's father, Ieyasu. Nonetheless, Hideyori was ignored by the regents who began to feud among themselves. Tokugawa Ieyasu was one of the strongest of the regents, and began to rally around an Eastern faction, while people like Ishida Mitsunari rallied around a Western faction. The person and faction to rule Japan would be decided at a critical battle, the Battle of Sekigahara.

Hidetada had trained in his father's army and gradually began to direct some of his father's troops. In 1600, he and 16,000 of his father's men were in Shinano, containing the Uesugi clan, who were allied with the Westerners, waiting for an order from Ieyasu to arrive at Sekigahara so that father and son could fight against the Ishida. After Ieyasu gave the notice, Hidetada took too long to arrive, since he was having trouble defeating the Sanada Clan, so by the time he arrived, Ieyasu had defeated the Western bloc and became the ruler of Japan. Hidetada and Ieyasu's relationship was never the same again because of Hidetada's tardiness during that crucial battle. 1597 1598 1599 - 1600 - 1601 1602 1603 |- | align=center colspan=2 | Decades: 1570s 1580s 1590s - 1600s - 1610s 1620s 1630s |- | align=center | Centuries: 15th century - 16th century - 17th century |} // Events January January 1 - Scotland adopts January 1st as being New Years Day February February 17 - Giordano Bruno burned at the...

Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada (1605–1623)

In 1605 Hidetada became Shogun, yet his father still wielded significant power until his death in 1616.

After he became shogun he married Oeyo and they had two sons, Tokugawa Iemitsu and Tokugawa Tadanaga. They also had two daughters, one of whom, Senhime married twice.

Much to the dismay of Ieyasu, in 1612, Shogun Hidetada engineered a marriage between Senhime and Toyotomi Hideyori, who was living as a common citizen in Osaka Castle with his mother. When this failed to quell Hideyori's intrigues, Hidetada led an attack on the castle. Father and son once again disagreed on how to conduct this Osaka Winter/Summer Campaigns of 1614–1615. Ieyasu favored a conservative, slow approach, while Hidetada preferred a direct, brutal attack. In the end Hidetada had his way, and Osaka Castle was decimated; Hideyori and his mother were forced to commit suicide. Even Hideyori's infant son (Kunimatsu), grandson of Hidetada, was not spared. Ieyasu never forgave Hidetada for this loss. Only Senhime, Ieyasu's favorite granddaughter, was spared, and later re-married and had a new family.

After Ieyasu's 1616 death Hidetada took control of the bakufu. He strengthened the Tokugawa hold on power by improving relations with the Imperial court.

Cloistered Shogun Hidetada (1623–1632)

In 1623, Hidetada abdicated the shogunate in favor of his eldest son and heir, Tokugawa Iemitsu. Like his father before him, Hidetada became Ogosho, or Retired Shogun. He retired to Edo but retained effective power as Retired Shogun. Nonetheless, he took heavy anti-Christian measures, which Ieyasu thought of but never put in place.
