The Tokugawa Yoshinobu family (徳川慶喜家, Tokugawa Yoshinobu-ke) was founded in 1902 when Emperor Meiji permitted Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last shōgun of Japan, to found a house with the highest rank of nobility, kōshaku (Prince). The title was officially declared obsolete in 1947, though the family still maintained it until the death of Yoshitomo Tokugawa in 2017.
The wife of Nobuhito, Prince Takamatsu (third son of Emperor Taishō) was Kikuko Tokugawa, daughter of the second Prince of the Yoshinobu-ke, Yoshihisa.
