The Tokugawa Yoshinobu House (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 maintains it.

The wife of Prince Takamatsu-no-miya Nobuhito (third son of Emperor Taishō) was Tokugawa Kikuko, daughter of the second Prince of the Yoshinobu-ke, Yoshihisa.
