Tonbo family

The Tonbo are the only family of the Dragonfly.

Their family was created when Tonbo Kuyuden defeated Akodo Yakutsu and was awarded a family sword by the Emperor. Since them the fine katana has sat in Kyuden Tonbo never being wielded by any Dragonfly Clan Daimyos. The tonbo is a shugenja family studying change magic such as transformation spells and divination magic. Because of this many other shugenja schools see the Dragonfly as meddlers who constantly seek changing the natural order of things. The Tonbo Daimyo has historically studied at the Shiba bushi school at the Eternal Phoenix Dojo as the few bushi of the family take up postions as yojimbos for the shugenja of the clan much like the Shiba family.

The Tonbo seek enlightenment from the world around them. They honor any change and try and learn from it.
