Kanamoto Atsushi

Johnny Black (ジョニー・ブラック) is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in «Sword Art Online» and a member of the infamous red guild «Laughing Coffin», where he is partnered with Red Eyed Xaxa. He is well known for using poisons and such in battles. His real name is Kanemoto Atsushi (金本 敦).

Appearance
In SAO, like most of the Laughing Coffin, Johnny wears a dark colored hooded cloak and a mask. His hands are armored, as well. He appears to be very thin as well. It is later revealed that in real life he has an uneven tangle of long hair, thin cheeks covered by a stubby beard and has silver earrings on his ears. He wears a thick silver necklace, a discolored T-shirt with leather pants of the same color and high laced boots, giving off a shabby overall impression.

Murder in the Area (Aincrad 57th floor, April 2024)
In the SAO, he appears during the murder in the Area incident along with PoH and XaXa.

On a certain night of August that year, the crusade to vanquish the red guild is launched and he is captured along with 11 others from «Laughing Coffin».

Phantom Bullet Arc
He serves as Xaxa's accomplice in the Death Gun incident, injecting «Death Gun»'s victims with Succinylcholine in real life, just as they are shot with Death Gun's pistol in-game during the Bullet of Bullets tournament. He is personally responsible for the deaths of 2 BoB finalists, Pale Rider and Garret.

After the incident, he is the only member of the Death Gun trio who is not caught by the police. It is said that he may still have one last syringe of Succinycholine.

Alicization Beginning
Half a year after the «Death Gun» incident, he follows Kazuto and Asuna to near Asuna's house, where Kazuto tells him he noticed that he was following them. He presents himself and menaces Kazuto with a syringe of Succinylcholine and later stabs him. However, while he was stopped, he succeeded in hurting Kazuto severely.
