Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The tonfa is basically a heavy stick with a handle attached near one of the ends, typically a little longer than the user's forearm. This weapon is Boring, but Practical made manifest. However, boring isn't good enough for fiction, and naturally all sorts of variations (including the bladed tonfa, the energybeam tonfa, and the tonfa that doubles as a gun among others) have been envisioned by writers in order to spice up this humble handled club. Wielded in pairs with one in each hand, a martial art based on the use of dual tonfas (Kobudo) exists in the Japanese islands of Okinawa. Archaeological evidence suggests the first tonfa were of Chinese or Indonesian origin, but they enjoyed much more widespread use in Okinawa and other Japanese islands. There it was claimed to have been developed from a modified millstone handle as a result of the restriction of conventional weapons by the rulers of the land back in the day, forcing people to make their own weapons, often out of farm tools. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })They are a staple in weapon based fighters, and in any anime or manga where all kinds of weapons are already around they will often turn up somewhere down the line in the hands of a character, usually either a competent part of the hero's team or a major threat to the protagonists. In real life, the common policeman's Lawman Baton is based upon this weapon, and in the end is just a modified version. It is preferred over regular batons because it is better for defense and looks less threatening. The main differences between them is that police use just one nightstick whereas with tonfas Dual Wielding is the norm, and that police forces usually don't train in the full use of the tonfa like martial artists do. Might overlap with examples of bladed weapons that otherwise are tonfa shaped (along the arm). Such examples can potentially be found as type 3 of the trope Blade Below the Shoulder.

Monster Hunter's PC MMO installment Monster Hunter Frontier introduced the Battle Tonfas, a large pair of pneumatic tonfas. They're intentionally a Game-Breaker; they hit fast, have exceptional mobility, and can easily KO a monster, but are only unlocked once you've done pretty much everything else in the game. | |

Tonfas are the weapon of choice of Laurel Lance a.k.a. Black Canary in Arrow as it fits her smash mouth style of fighting. Specifically they are PR24 police batons, perhaps to honor her father, a SCPD captain. She previously used the bo staff of the last Canary, but found she didn't have the training to use it. | |

Rosario + Vampire has the Shadowless Sword, a tonfa forged from light that nestles in the palm of a knifehand strike. Its real purpose is to cancel out the Vibroweapon/Telefrag effect of the Dimension Sword, though Tsukune also seems to use them as proper tonfa while fighting Aqua. | |

Warframe offers tonfas as one of the many categories of melee weapons available to players; in general, they feature high base damage, good status chance, and very strong slide attacks at the expense of critical stats and range. So far, we have the bladed Kronen, the spiky Boltace (and its updated Telos variant from the Arbiters of Hexis), and the electrified Ohma. | |

Soul Eater: Marie Mjollnir is normally a hammer, based on her inspiration. However, as a Death Scythe, she can modify her weapon form, in this case, she extends one end of the hammer and thus becoming an impromptu tonfa. Kid wields Liz and Patty upside-down so they can double as tonfa-like bludgeons in close-range combat. |

He bashes, stabs, and shoots in about equal measure. He got rid of it in favor of two shooting bladespears in 9. |

Trails of Cold Steel III also gives us Juna Crawford's "Gunbreakers," which are tonfas that double as guns. Not surprising, given how she idolized the Special Support Section (the special unit of the Crossbell Police that Lloyd was the team leader of). | |

Akane from My-HiME. Her manga incarnation uses a standard set, while in the anime, her tonfas form a cross-shape pattern. Her My-Otome incarnation also uses them with her Meister robe. | |

Tonfa are a recurring weapon in the Yakuza series, starting in Yakuza 2 where Kiryu learns how to fight with them by watching a martial arts movie. Disappointingly, tonfa are mostly of the singular variety, though some variations like the bladed tonfa or the flamethrower tonfa exist. Tanimura, one of the Protagonists from Yakuza 4 knows how to use tonfa from his cop training. Majima learns how to use a tonfa from his Multi-Melee Master teacher Hei Fu in Yakuza 0, though he specifies that his technique is specifically for the single tonfa. Oda, one of the first bosses Kiryu fights, uses two tonfa however. |
