Kambei Okamoto was the Warlord of Dieron after the ascension of Katana Tormark.

History

Early career

At some point in his career, Kambei Okamoto served with the Izanagi Warriors.[3]

Battle of Dieron

When Tai-shu Kambei Okamoto of the Dieron Prefecture was in the Quentin system, he was intercepted by chance by the San Diego, a Castrum-class DropShip assigned to the FederationCombine front. A frenzied defense during the Warlord's evacuation to an outbound Nekohono'o-class DropShip, the Burradi Mōki, alerted the RAF attackers to the importance of the ship. The San Diego used its capital and sub-capital weaponry to cripple the DropShip. The warlord was killed in the subsequent boarding operation, and the Prefecture leadership was crippled.[2]

BattleMech

Kambei Okamoto piloted a Shiro BattleMech.[4]

Notes

Okamoto's death was previously detailed in Shattered Fortress in 'Mech combat with Paladin Max Ergen on Dieron.[1] At this time, the discrepancy has not been resolved.
