How would Japan have been different if the Tokugawa clan had lost the battle. If the defectors had instead charged Ieyasu at the battle. What would have happened.
One possibility is that, say Mitsunari becomes shogun. After Mitsunari dies his three sons fight each other to become the next shogun. After years of fighting one finally prevails and becomes the shogun of Japan. One of the sons is executed by the one who becomes shogun, but the other escapes and organizes a rebellion to try and overthrow the new shogun. After more fighting the rebellious son is captured, he and any Daimyo loyal to him are executed and new daimyo are appointed to take their places. So one of the sons is now the clear ruler of Japan. He invades Korea, he might succeed or not.
