The Tokugawa clan(徳川氏,Tokugawa-shi?) was a powerful daimyo family of Japan. Beginning with Tokugawa Ieyasu, the family founders rose to power at the end of the Sengoku period, and to the end of the Edo period they ruled Japan as shoguns. All in all, there were fifteen Tokugawa shoguns. Their dominance was so strong that some history books use the term "Tokugawa era" instead of "Edo period".
