We do not know his or her name, it was lost in history.

The first recorded use of a bomb were bamboo tubes filled with gunpowder, which would explode, causing explosive damage and fragmentation damage from the splintering bamboo.

These bombs were invented in China, somewhere around 1221 by the Jin Dynasty, during the war against the Song Dynasty.

Later the Chinese upgraded to cast iron tubes, knowing that fragmented metal causes more damage than fragmented bamboo.
