Tokugawa Ieyasu (31 January 1543 – 1 June 1616), born Matsudaira Takechiyo, is considered one of the three great unifiers of Japan alongside Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He leads the Japanese in Sid Meier's Civilization. He replaces Shaka in the SNES version of the game.

Gameplay[]
This leader is very expansionist and will go to great lengths to expand his borders but this leader is not Militaristic such as his Mongolian counterpart Genghis Khan. If you are playing on an Earth map and the Chinese or the Mongolians are also in the game, the Japanese will not be able to expand very much into Asia.
Note that the Earth map is not static - for instance, sometimes there will be a land bridge to Korea and at other times there won't. If there is a land bridge to Asia then the Japanese will make building ships a low priority.
