Tonowari is a significant character in the Avatar film franchise, appearing primarily in Avatar: The Way of Water. He is the Olo'eyktan (leader) of the Metkayina clan, a Na'vi people adapted to the marine environment of Pandora.

As leader, Tonowari is responsible for the well-being and safety of his clan. He is initially wary of Jake Sully and his family when they seek refuge with the Metkayina, recognizing the potential danger they bring due to their connection to the humans. However, adhering to the Metkayina traditions of hospitality, he allows them to stay and learn their ways.

Tonowari is portrayed as a strong, pragmatic, and protective leader. He is deeply connected to the ocean and the spiritual traditions of his people. Ultimately, he becomes an ally to Jake and Neytiri, leading his clan in the defense of their home against the returning RDA forces.
