History
"What??? Am I too scary for ya? You look like a pretty tough kid, I thought you'd be up for it."

- Amada

Originally from the Island Nations, Amada worked in Radat Town, which frequently traded with the islands there. As such, he worked with the crew operating the sluice gate.

When the hero, Nanami and Apple needed the water level drained, it was Amada who refused them following Gin's initial rebuff. Still, seeing the hero's determination, he agreed to lower the water level when defeated by him in a duel.

Following the establishment of the New State Army, he was one of two people considered to bring the hero and his party to Lakewest. Amada requested a second duel with the hero and once defeated, agreed to join the army. He would throw himself into the battle against the Highland Kingdom, proving his worthy as a sailor and naval soldier.

Following the Dunan Unification War, Amada took control of a vessel and returned to the Island Nations.
