— Kanbei - |
Kanbei is a Commanding Officer enlisted in the Yellow Comet army. He is the emperor of Yellow Comet and the leader of its forces in Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. Sensei taught him everything he knows about battling. His boldness and inability to use technology are often contrasted with his daughter Sonja's shyness and technical ability for comic relief.
In Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, he presents a gunbai in his CO Power animation.
Role
In Advance Wars
In the original Advance Wars, Kanbei rushes off to stop Orange Star as soon as they enter Yellow Comet. He is defeated three times before Sonja explains that Orange Star was merely passing through, and attacked because he attacked them. In the final battle, if Kanbei is present, he declares that Sturm has committed an "unforgivable sin" for capturing Sonja.
In Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
In Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Kanbei makes no formal appearance in Dual Strike. However, he is cloned and sent to fight against the Allied Nations during the Omega Land war. Upon completion of the final mission, he is available for use in the Hard Campaign.
Personality
Kanbei is a bold and honorable individual who adheres to the samurai way of the warrior. He is willing to fight to protect his subjects, regardless of any consequences to himself. However, he is also at times airheaded and sometimes incompetent at the basics of combat, such as when he vowed to "deploy a mountain of troops" from a useless base on an isolated island.

Trivia
- In the unreleased iQue prototype of Advance Wars originally developed for the Chinese market, Kanbei's appearance was significantly altered to resemble less like an Imperial Japanese officer; his facial hair and katana were removed and his uniform was changed. Kanbei's Imperial Forces were also renamed to Kanbei's Special Forces. In the western version of the game Kanbei believes he is a modern samurai, while in the Chinese version he likens himself to a modern Zhang Fei. These changes were likely done by Nintendo to avoid any connotations with Japan's invasion of China during World War II.[2]
- According to the Nintendo DREAM strategy guide for Game Boy Wars Advance 1+2, Kanbei is 36 years old.[3]
