Tokugawa Yoshimune (November
27,
1684 -
July 12,
1751) was the eighth
shogun of the
Tokugawa shogunate, known for his financial reform. He is best known
for dismissing his conservative adviser
Arai Hakuseki and instigating the
KyÅhÅ reforms.
As the descendant of the
Kii domain, he succeeded the post of the shogun in
1716, given that the main lineage lacked a legimate heir. In
1745, he retired, leaving his post to his son.
