'''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 is often contrasted with his daughter [[Sonja]]'s shyness and technical ability for comic relief.

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.

==Trivia==
==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).
