The 13th shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, born Sachiko. She took the position after her father Ieyoshi stepped down, inheriting one of Japan's most powerful roles while dealing with persistent health problems that plagued her throughout her life.
She's best known among historians for her relationship with Taneatsu, her consort, whom she genuinely loved—a detail that stands out in the often-political marriages of her era. Despite her frail constitution, she managed the demands of the shogunate during her tenure, though her physical weakness remained a constant factor in her life and rule.
