Background Info
History
Yoshimune had grown up in a troubled time when many wars ran rampant throughout the world and the Land of Iron. Though he remembers very little, he remembers the pain and suffering he experienced. For in that time Yoshimune lost his dear parents. They had been killed by rogue shinobi from Kirigakure or at least he assumed since they wore the headband with the village symbol on it. The result of their loss left Yoshi with no home and no family. A sad fate for a child indeed.
After traveling towards the south for some time, Yoshimune came upon a small temple called "Akai Ryuu" or "Red Dragon". The temple was very humble in its appearance and its people, the Red Monks, were humble people as well. They took in the poor orphan and gave him the basic necessities. Along with that, he was taught in many subjects and basic swordsmanship. As he grew up and matured into a fine man, the elders nominated Yoshi as the head of their clan, the Tokugawa. His story was that of a compelling man who could unite people's hearts. They placed their hopes in him and entered him into the samurai of the Land of Iron. He was to receive training from the legendary samurai, Ishiro. So he headed for the capital not knowing that his teacher was Yondaime Shogun. After a long journey, he met with Ishiro and commenced his training, all the while working to improve himself to honor his clan and parents.
New Beginnings
After training for a while in the Land of Iron, Yoshimune came to be dissatisfied with the samurai. For so long the samurai had lived a quiet, peaceful existence until eventually too, like in other parts of the ninja world, politics soon took reign. There had always been differences of opinion but as time grew, so did their hearts and honor. Yoshimune decided to impose an exile upon himself to focus his mind and decide on his future. After a time in the Land of Fire far to the south, Yoshimune had grown a little bit stronger and a little wiser. His demeanor and appearance had changed somewhat, giving off an imposing silhouette often being confused with the infamous Nobunaga Oda. In his travels around the world, Yoshimune had come to see great suffering and much injustice. He believed that the world needed a rolemodel to lead the younger generations to the right path? But what was right and what was wrong? Yoshimune came to understand that truth was a subjective term, changing perspective with each person. What if he took the role? Would he be any better than a tyrant or dictator? One cannot force people to make judgements or at least correctly or justly. If he wanted to become a good role model he would have to set the example and live his life by the way of the just. He would work hard to sharpen his mind and at the same time sharpen his swordsmanship for the times that not even his words could win against. So he set out from Konohagakure and towards the Land of Iron and face his demons and the bright future that lay ahead in his mind.
Other Information
Tokugawa carries one standard katana he named Masamune and a wakizashi he named Muramasa. He also wears light, plated armor as shown in the picture below (spoiler). This helps when in close combat and to protect himself. The plated armor isn't special its just normal armor. He also seems to carry two more identical swords on his other side, making it a total of four swords he wields proficiently in battle.
