Japan: Tokugawa Nariaki (4 April 1800 - 29 September 1860), Daimyo of Mito Domain (r. 1829-1844). Portrait, mid-19th century. Tokugawa Nariaki, born Torasaburo and also known as Keisaburo, was a prominent Japanese daimyo who ruled the Mito domain (now Ibaraki prefecture). He became daimyo in 1829, and was leader of the Joi ('expel the barbarian') party, who were xenophobic and favoured restoring power to the Emperor as well as isolating Japan from the world. His actions led to the rise of nationalism and the Meiji Restoration. His son, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, would become Japan's last shogun.
