The story of the Tonbo’s shugenja school begins with Agasha Kazuki, an outcast of the Agasha shugenja school. Born in the year 674, Kazuki had a natural talent for fire magic and a restless personality that did not mesh well with the Agasha’s training methods. Where the Agasha favored meditations and the study of obscure magics, Kazuki sought to master the basics of magic and to test his magical prowess against that of other shugenja. Kazuki’s rivalry with the shugenja of the Agasha school came to a head he claimed that the Agasha concerned themselves too much with minutia and not enough with the everyday world. Kazuki was rebuked by the head of the school. Kazuki challenged the head of the school to a magical duel to prove his point. Realizing that his school’s reputation was on the line, the headmaster accepted. Kazuki won the duel, but was immediately and quietly expelled from the school. Kazuki agreed not to speak of the duel or its results on the condition that he continue to be recognized as a student of the school and that he be allowed to take several copies of the school’s scrolls with him. | The story of the Tonbo’s shugenja school begins with Agasha Kazuki, an outcast of the Agasha shugenja school.

Kazuki quickly studied the methods of his new Lion opponents. He found that they tended to use their magic to heal their bushi or to counterspell enemy shugenja and that they concentrated on Water magic and neglected Fire magic. Thus, Kazuki trained his students in both Fire and Water Magic, to match the enemy strength for strength and strength for weakness. Kazuki also trained his shugenja in how to make their spells difficult to counterspell. When the next Lion attack occured, Kazuki’s students were ready. While the Tonbo’s other shugenja were frustrated by the Kitsu’s counterspells, Kazuki’s shugenja seemed unaffected by the efforts of the Lion’s shugenja. Kazuki’s students were instrumental in holding off the Lion until the Dragon and Phoenix could come to the Dragonfly’s aid once again. After the battle, Kazuki was given leave to teach all of the Tonbo’s shugenja and to swear fealty to the Tonbo. | Kazuki quickly studied the methods of his new Lion opponents.

Tonbo trained shugenja are the bane of other shugenja on the battlefield because they are notoriously hard to counterspell and do not shy away from attacking rival shugenja. When casting a spell that you have memorized as an Innate Ability, you gain a number of free raises equal to your school rank that may only be used to fortify the spell. | Tonbo trained shugenja are the bane of other shugenja on the battlefield because they are notoriously hard to counterspell and do not shy away from attacking rival shugenja.
