Introduction
Lord Akamatsu Katsumoto (He/Him). My first SCA event was Hunter's Moon in 2011. I started as a heavy fighter and found my love of two weapon and eventually my love for spear in melees. Recent chiropractic issues have left me unable to don my helmet, but I was introduced to fencing soon afterward, which gave me yet another activity to love. There's nothing I love more than standing side-by-side with friends in a war, no matter what the weapon, and I am ever thankful to Snowberg and the Handsome Boys for those opportunities. All I do, I do to honor my Lady, my Knight, my Don, my Kingdom, my Barony, and my friends.
