Biography

Neverwinter Knight of the Flame, originally from Silverwater but now resides in Darkwater East. Knighted flame by Ahira of the Burning Lands in January 1999. He had a certain grace in most things he did, noted artisan, cook, combatant. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who knew him that had a bad thing to say about him.

Also known as Akira Kitimatsu, which for his persona was his actual name, with "Tonbo" being the nickname of that character. Most people know him in Amtgard as "Tonbo", but the other appears on documents such as Awards. His name is Japanese for "Dragonfly", and his device sdvtombo.jpg is a white dragonfly on a blue field.
