I only know one tonfa kata - Tsun Kuwa Kata Ichi
I believe it was a kata designed by Matayoshi for the syllabus up to black belt

Wow I didn't even know that there were katas for the tonfa. My understanding was that the tonfa is a fairly modern weapon akin to the billy club or nightsticks that those security guards carry around.
But then I watched Kenshin and then I realized otherwise  |

I have a video somewhere of some Okinwan Karateka doing Tonfa Kata - from the BBC Way of the Warrior series done in 1980. Certainly looks like a traditional thing rather than modern.

The Shiho, Kihon Ichii, Kihon Ni, and Kobu Shodan I know I think are specific to my school. Many schools have their own forms done only by them.
