Japanese

In Amtgard, Japan is frequently represented by Japanese persona, usually samurai, ninjas, or occasionally other more obscure types - kitsune, sohei, et cetera.

Because so many players of Japanese Persona are relatively tall white people, the SCA coined a humorous term to describe them -"Aryental", a portmanteau of "Oriental" and "Aryan".

Japanese personae and organizations in Amtgard include:

• Spearweasel
• Tatsu
• Clan Tetsuyama
• Clan Okuyama
• Raion no Yoto

• Toda Tatsuo Noh Minowara
• Akira "Tonbo" Kitimitsu
