Do we want to stick with Tokugawa when creating the game, or name our in-game ruler something else?

Tokugawa is honorable enough for me.

What's the word for ruler or emperor in Japanese?

Shogun is more like a Warlord
for quite some time there was both a Shogun and an Emporer of Japan
The Shogun having more political and Military Power, while the Emperor (at the time) had mainly Religious Power, as he was seen as a God on Earth.

No, Shogun is the official title for military ruler of Japan. Tokugawa is reffering to the general Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) who unified Japan after 150 years of civil war known as the Sengoku Era. His victory at Sekigahara in 1600 led to him becoming Shogun of Japan in 1603 and his heirs would rule as shogun until 1867.Civanator said:I think Shogun is, and Tokugawa is like a higher rank of shgunate. How about Tokugawa Godzilla?

Tokugawa is fine for me as the name.
But some of the posts above have raised another question - what of the title?
We forgot about this in DG4 and chose Civver as a spur of the moment decision in the Creation Chat - hence we had "We Love the Civver Day".

Ankka said:I think "The Great Shogun of the Great Nation of Aphatatica" sounds good.
I would go for Tokugawa, after getting a hint.
yet the previous comment was an ironic joke.

Do you want to take that remark back? I have mountains of info to prove the contrary. (though im not exactly willing to waste my time doing so)Provolution said:

I propose Oda Nobunaga, greater, I think, than Tokugawa. Tokugawa could probably not have succeded in his unification if not preceded by Nobunaga.

Another great choice would be:

I would like Dave-Toryo, which is a variation of Daytoryo, Prime Minister.
We should honor the leader, by giving the leader his own name.
Still the main city should have a Japanese name, pending on land around.

Emperor would be a far grander name!
Some names come to mind: Emperor Jimmu, the mythical first emperor and founder of Japan; Emperor Meiji, who reunified under the Emperor and brought it into the industrial world; or Emperor Akihito, the current emperor.

@Oct - just curious......has there ever been a Leader Name discussion where you didn't use that joke?
BTW, I say we just stick with Tokugawa. The other options are too varied and probably won't garner enough support.
