It may be that Odawara Tora Yoshinobu Dono will contest that goal.

A note from "Collected Brief History of the Middle Kingdom: Volumes I & II: Cariadoc to Nathan", Orlando Ambrosius (Baron Daemon de Folo of Wu:rm Wald, F. L. Watkins), Second Edition (A.S. 23 / 1989), p. 42.

Page 45 mentions Treegirtsea Twelfth Night, a bit later, where "Cariadoc made a war arrow and gave it to Iriel, suggesting that Iriel return it to Cariadoc to take with him 'as a token of war to the King of the East. [When the Eastern King, Rakkurai, took the arrow,] 'he broke it, saying "So will we do with the armies of the Middle" or words to that effect,'[footnote: Letter from David Friedman, 2 July 1983] setting in motion the wheels of war."

Once upon a time there lived a king named Fuyuzuru Tadashi, who was known far and wide as the world's laziest king. He would go to sleep immediately after dinner every night and wake up no earlier than lunch.

....

King Tadashi had a beautiful castle; built in the finest Japanese tradition. It was a twelve story Pagoda with thick outer walls, many sentry posts and straw roofs. There were fresh flowers in every single room every single day. These flowers were cut from the world's most beautiful garden, which was located in the center of Tadashi's castle.

....

Count Dag was very jealous of King Tadashi. And he was very evil. Some say it was because he never got a good night's sleep. But whatever the reason, he swore that he would take everything that King Tadashi owned.

The Reign of Tetsuo and Kimineko, 3rd Coronet of Trimaris
www.ealdormere.sca.org/scaroyalty/lineage.cgi?TYPE=reign&VALUE=1173

I can find little about this Knight, but Baron Effingham attributes the 'sakura dou' to him.
One example is the three-plate haramaki, which we thought we’d created over a decade ago in Trimaris. I call it a “sakura dô” after Sakura Tetsuo, KSCA, O.Pel. (Dr. Steve Bloom), founding Baron An Crosaire, who came up with the concept. (Imagine my surprise years later in Tôkyô when I found the shape listed in an armour manual!)

I met Sir Tadashi in the 80's. A physicist, a kenjutsu instructor, and a knight in the SCA, he was a man I much admired but distance seems to have prevented us from developing a close relationship.

His martial accomplishments included being an instructor of Louvret's Itto Tenshin Ryu iaijutsu and opening the Sandia Budokan in Albuquerque.

I found someone to add, I believe:

Tsunetomi-no-Inazuma Tsuneo (Boudoin MacKenzie) - - Atlantia - Jan AS 18

From:
[URL=http://anecho.mb.ca/~bonehead/sca/chiv1.html}http://anecho.mb.ca/~bonehead/sca/chiv1.html[/URL]

He is also listed as king in the rolls of Atlantia's OoP (op.atlantia.sca.org/), and was knighted, according to the former document, by Olaf Askoldsson, who was also king before him. His first reign was as Tsunetomi Tsuneo, but he later reigned as Boudoin Mackenzie.

Unfortunately, I have no further information, and he appears to be absent from the Rolls of Chivalry at the Atlantian OoP.

[Otagiri Tatsuzou]

So we have the dual name for the Chivalry Tree
Tsunetomi-no-Inazuma Tsuneo (Boudoin MacKenzie) - - Atlantia - Jan AS 18
anecho.mb.ca/~bonehead/sca/chiv1.html

He was an Atlantian Monarch:
(11.) 19 April AS XX (1986) ..... Tsunetomi Tsuneo and Nyan-nyan
op.atlantia.sca.org/kings_and_queens.html

He shows up in the Atlantian County list as Badouin MacKenzie of Balfour.
op.atlantia.sca.org/Nov2004_Royal_County.html

And that name gives us the Combined OC entry
416 | 375 | | Badouin MacKenzie of Balfour | K | 01/14/84 | 18 | ATLANTIA | 9

And so we discover he is a Duke under that name:
chivalry.atlantia.sca.org/bio/badouin/badouin.htm


Hmmm ... I wonder if he wants to remember his roots? But he is in nonetheless. Thank you, Ii-dono.

Well, there is that... still, I was surprised there was nobody from Atlantia so I had to go looking.

Sakura kita Maikaru is a Master of the Pelican and has served as the third Baron of Loch Salann.

I met this man shortly after he was knighted and he still maintains a light-hearted laughter by which I remember him best.

I can find little of this knight except that he reigned with Evonne as the 19th Coronet of Drachenwald.

I believe he currently resides in Æthelmearc.

One of his squires, Michael of Northwood, was elevated to knighthood.

61 Viscount Atai Yoshina, Knight of Aethelmearc. A wandering Knight due to his previous employment in the service of his demanding uncle Samuel, the Society at large is his home.
