Tonpetty


 * The character in this article is often referred to as "Tompeti" or "Tonpeti".

Tonpetty is a minor ally featured in Part I: Phantom Blood. He is a ripple master who trained Will Anthonio Zeppeli and many others.

History
Tonpetty trained the then 25 year old Zeppeli in the ways of ripple and eventually revealed to him that he would face a gruesome death. Nevertheless, Zeppeli continued with his training.

Phantom Blood
The only other known ripple students of Tonpetty were Dire and Straizo, who both accompanied him when they went to Dio's town. However, they did not meet with Jonathan Joestar and Robert Edward O. Speedwagon until Zeppeli had died. During the final battle between Jonathan and Dio, Dire was killed but Tonpetty and Straizo still helped kill Dio's remaining zombies. After the battle, Tonpetty was last seen at the docks (together with Straizo, Speedwagon, and others) to see Jonathan and Erina Pendolton, now Joestar, off for their honeymoon. Tonpetty's whereabouts after this is unknown, but it can be assumed the he died during the 50-year gap between parts 1 and 2. Straizo became his successor.
