The Yagy were also swordsmanship teachers to the Tokugawa shoguns. Yagy Muneyoshi (1527-1606), the first famous Yagy swordsman, fought for a number of different lords before meeting Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa shogun. In 1563, he was defeated by the great swordsman Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and was later named his successor, founding the Yagy Shinkage-ry school of swordsmanship. In 1594, Muneyoshi was invited to Tokugawa Ieyasu''s mansion in Kyoto, where he provided such an incredible display of sword skills that the warlord asked that the Yagy become sword instructors to the Tokugawa family. Muneyoshi suggested that his son Munenori be Ieyasu''s teacher; Muneyoshi then retired from swordsmanship, and died in 1606, by which time Ieyasu had become shogun. It was at this time also that the Yagy swordsmanship school split in two, Munenori and his elder brother Toshiyoshi each becoming the hereditary heads of the Owari and Edo schools of Yagy Shinkage-ry .
