Japan: Tokugawa Yoshinobu (28 October 28 1837 – 22 November 1913), 15th and last ruler of the Tokugawa Shogunate (r. 1866-1867). Portrait, c. late 19th century. Tokugawa Yoshinobu, born Matsudaira Shichiromaro and also known as Keiki, was the 15th and last shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. He was chosen to succeed Tokugawa Iemochi in 1866, and immediately ordered massive governmental reforms. He modernised the Japanese army and purchased foreign equipment, but was forced to resign in 1867 by rebelling daimyos, leading to the Boshin War. Yoshinobu went into quiet retirement as Japan changed.
