Introduction

Title Name. SCA Biography. Selected Awards (the Wiki is not the place to do a full awards list).

If you would like to know about me, or what I am currently working on, or just want to have a conversation (which I prefer over this wiki page) please find me at an event.

Persona

Describe your persona and persona history (as much as you wish)

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Date Rokurou Yoshimitsu. I began my life as Momochi Takezo in the village of Fushimi over looking Fushimi Castle, in the year 1525. My parents were of humble origin, my adoptive father, a resident of Kizu village, and my mother, a resident of Ueno village, ended up in Fushimi village after a raid in the mountains surrounding Ueno.

During my fathers’ lifetime, my adoptive father tried unsuccessfully to assassinate Oda Nobunaga on various occasions, resulting in him being assassinated himself.

As Momochi, I searched a myriad of commissioner's offices and boxes of scrolls and documents and found that he was indeed of the Family Date, and decided to reclaim the Family name, taking the name Date Rokurou Yoshimitsu.

I wish to finish off Oda sometime in the future, to avenge the man who raised me as his own.

Currently, I reside in the East Kingdom of the Known World where I am the loyal Family member, and heir, and Great-Great-Grandson of the late Date Saburou Yukiie.

I am the current armor builder for Roku Tonbo Yoroi.

I have studied various martial arts, shoot a yumi (Japanese long bow), and currently continuing my study and building of Japanese armor, to preserve the noble Samurai ways of the Date.

It has been told, that I am quite a Kumihimo (cord braiding) expert, and use it on the armor I build or the Garb I sew.

I have been a member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) since 1991, and have played in the Kingdom of Caid (where I started in the SCA), the Kingdom of the East, the Kingdom of the Middle, the Kingdom of Aethelmearc, and the Kingdom of Atlantia. I have earned an Award of Arms (AOA), Service Award (Barony of Stierbach,Atlantia), Order of the Silver Wheel (East, for A&S), and Order of the Silver Brooch (East, for A&S).

Mundanely, I have traveled the world with the U.S. Marine Corps where he spent time in the infantry learning how to play with explosives and blow up buildings, and in aviation where I spent my time repairing the electrical systems on attack helicopters. Currently, I am living in Northern Delaware, and I am doing my best to adjust to my new surroundings. My education is in Secondary Education Social Studies (History, Geography, Psychology), with a Minor in History, and Content Credits in Special Education. I am also the proud father of a beautiful daughter who sometimes plays in the SCA, too.
