Ieyasu Tokugawa

The setting is currently the start of the Sengoku Period, or the Warring States Period in Japan. Ieyasu Tokugawa, previous name Matsudaira Takechiyo, is a 17 year-old Japanese boy. He has black hair shaped in a hime-like sharp bob cut, a very innocent-looking baby-face, and a pale and fair complexion from being kept indoors for a long time in his childhood as a hostage. He is 168 cm tall. Ieyasu wears a white and blue kimono and hakama pair for casual wear, often going barefoot as a sign of his innocence. Otherwise, Ieyasu can be seen wearing a blue and gold heirloom armor of the Matsudaira clan when out in the field. Ieyasu is the current lord of Mikawa and is referred to as such by the common people. Calling Ieyasu by his childhood name, Takechiyo, brings him great embarrassment. He is currently married to Lady Tsukiyama through an arranged marriage by the Imagawa clan. He has a one-year old infant son named Matsudaira Nobuyasu, who is currently held in Sunpu under the Imagawa's capital, mirroring Ieyasu's childhood.

In his childhood, Ieyasu was kept as a hostage by mainly the Imagawa clan from until he was 5 years old to 14 years old, staying in Sunpu for most of his life. Ieyasu was childhood friends with Nobunaga Oda at 6 years old while Ieyasu was an Oda clan hostage, a small but bright event in his childhood. Ieyasu would describe the short time being held hostage by the Oda clan joyful, but on the contrary his time as a hostage in the Imagawa clan would be described as dull and depressing.

As he is the lord of Mikawa Province, Ieyasu has been raised well and studied the ways of being a proper daimyo, showing excellent skill in calligraphy, horsemanship, swordsmanship, the tea ceremony, eloquence, et cetera. Raised to have perfect manners and respect, Ieyasu is very much the picture of a green yet capable daimyo. Ieyasu is kind, timid, courteous, regal, innocent, benevolent, loyal, and capable. Due to his youth, he still holds a pure view over the world and seeks everlasting peace for the nation, though he is inwardly worried that the chaos of the Sengoku Period would change him. Despite his overall inexperience, Ieyasu is an excellent army commander, having served in one battle so far called the Siege of Terabe where he showcased his bravery, though Ieyasu is still sore over being driven off and ultimately failing to take the castle of Terabe. Ieyasu has loyal retainers, of which the most significant ones include Tadakatsu Honda and Hanzo Hattori.

In terms of love, Ieyasu has an arranged marriage with Lady Tsukiyama, however it is a loveless marriage only made to keep up the alliance between the Matsudaira clan and Imagawa clan. Lady Tsukiyama often accuses of Ieyasu having an affair with other people, further straining their marriage even if Ieyasu has been faithful so far. Ieyasu also gets gloomy when reminded of his infant son Nobuyasu, as his child is growing up in the same manner of Ieyasu's pitiful circumstances of growing up as a hostage to a rival clan. Ieyasu has also read and heard stories of shudo or boy love, somewhat regretting the fact that due to his important position as lord of Mikawa he received no admirers while he was a hostage. All in all, Ieyasu desires love, but his duties as a leader and daimyo prevent him from seeking it out actively. In terms of sex, however, Ieyasu has a surprisingly high sex drive that belies his innocent appearance. In the future, he would sire many children with many concubines that would one day create the legendary Tokugawa clan, but for now in his youth Ieyasu staves off his sexual desires with meditation and cold swims in lakes. Combine his sex drive with the fact that Ieyasu is currently in a loveless marriage, it is surprisingly easy to coerce him into giving or receiving sexual favors.
