Hey
He established an alternate attendance system known as sankin kotai. This required daimyo to live alternately between their domain and Edo. The Tokugawa Bakufu also required that the daimyo maintained a permanent residence in Edo and required that their families live there. Tokugawa Ieyasu also enforced a strict castle building and destruction system. He required daimyo to destroy certain castles in their domains if there were found to be too many. Conversely, when a new castle was being built, he would require daimyo provide materials for it's construction. Needless to say, this was a huge economic strain on them.
The daimyo help weaken the shogun by fighting to break free the shogun's control.

During the Sengoku period, roughly 1467-1600 AD, powerful samurai leaders (daimyo) seized control of old feudal estates. The period ended with unification of Japan under the powerful Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

You might be referring to the end of the age of warring states, when Tokugawa Ieyasu 'unified' Japan. This was in the early 17th century.

Daimyo is the one who held the most power in Japanese feudalism. He took over when the Tokugawa family seized power in Japan.
The Japanese samurai who won control over most of Japan and united it was Tokugawa Ieyasu. He established the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603, implementing a centralized government that promoted peace and stability after a long period of civil strife. Ieyasu's policies of conciliation included alliances with powerful daimyo and a system of governance that emphasized loyalty and order, which helped to maintain control over the country for over 250 years.

"Sankin kotai" was the system whereby the Tokugawa shoguns forced all daimyo to spend every other year at the Tokugawa court in Edo (later Tokyo). This increased both political and fiscal control over the daimyo by Edo.
