Tsukinowa is one of the Eblan Four in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, and is known as Tsukinowa of Wind. He is a ninja boy whose skill would put an adult to shame. He's as quick-witted and agile as the wind, just as his alias implies.
His abilities include the use of Wind Ninjutsu and Steal. He can equip katanas and boomerangs.

[edit] Story
When Eblan receives word of Baron stealing Crystals from the other nations, the Eblan Four become eager to assist Edge, and they are sent on missions to gather information. Tsukinowa, under the alias of 'Lapin', travels to Mysidia as a young student of magic. After a class mate turns him into a toad, Tsukinowa sneaks into the Tower of Prayers and eavesdrops on a conversation between Porom and a group of mages. Porom heads to Mount Ordeals with a Black and White Mage, unbeknownst of the fact that Tsukinowa is following her. Tsukinowa seems to care for Porom during the mission, and sympathizes with her worry for Palom. After the mission is completed, he returns to Eblan by walking across the sea.
In the Gathering Tale, Tsukinowa watches over Porom and the other incapicated characters below the Falcon's deck. During the ending, he is seen again as a toad in Mysidia. He quietly cheers for Porom when she and her brother are promoted to the elders of Mysidia.
[edit] Equipment and Stats
Like Edge, Tsukinowa can Dual Wield, and is the only one of the Eblan Four that can do so.

[edit] Battle
- Main article: Tsukinowa (Boss)
Tsukinowa is fought as a boss in Edge's tale. However, this is a fight that cannot be lost, and can be ended within one or two turns.
[edit] Etymology
His name literally means "moon halo" (月の輪, tsukinowa). The alias that Tsukinowa uses when he is sent to spy in Mysidia, 'Lapin', is French for 'rabbit'. This possibly references that he is the fastest of the Eblan Four.
