Japan: Tokugawa Iesada (1824-1858), thirteenth ruler of the Tokugawa Shogunate (1853-1858).

Tokugawa Iesada (May 6, 1824—August 14, 1858) was the 13th shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan who held office for only 5 years, from 1853 to 1858. He was physically weak and therefore unfit to be shogun in this period of great challenges. His reign marks the beginning of the Bakumatsu period.
