I think it obvious that “Tokugawa” refers to Tokugawa Ieyasu. So I’ll throw in Oda Nobunaga, too, and so we have five.  
Name five famous athletes who have spent time in prison.

I only checked wikipedia to see if I was right because I guessed on Chris Ferguson. I wasn’t sure from watching WSOP on ESPN if they referred to him as a past winner. Honest.

That’s when I noticed I misspelled Ungar. I’ll accept etv78’s ruling though on disqualification.
