==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 [[wikipedia:Zhang Fei|Zhang Fei]]. These changes were likely done by Nintendo to avoid any connotations with Japan's invasion of China during World War II.<ref>rawmeatcowboy (26 March 2019).
