History: A combat veteran of numerous conflicts, Kambei is now the aged, but respected, CAG for the UNS Kurosawa. His previous duties include CO of the Timber Wolves, and a Flight Instructor at the Beginhill-15 Academy, serving as Instructor and CO for the following Training Squads: Blue Jays, Bearcats, Fireflies, and Lounge Lizards.

Kambei is the great grandson of famed Japanese film actor Takashi Shimura (Ikiru, Stray Dog, Seven Samurai). As a young child he accompanied his father, also a film actor, to the Launch Ceremonies for the SDF-1. What was intended as a standard publicity appearance, became much more when the alien Zentraedi fleet attacks and . . . well, the rest is history.

Kambei and his father survived Space War One aboard the Macross, where he gained an undying respect for the military in general, and VF pilots in particular. As soon as he was legal age, Kambei enrolled in the UNSpacy Academy in Macross City and trained as a VF Pilot.

Four years later he graduated and served a myriad of assignments including: Ambellsi Base, flying with the Diamondbacks aboard the UNS Invincible, then a transfer to UNS Gwenhyvar, and eventually was reassigned to the Timber Wolves aboard the UNS Kurosawa, an ironically-named ship he will consider home for the remainder of his life.

During the 2040’s Kambei left the Kurosawa to serve as a Flight Instructor for the Beginhill-15 Academy. His teams included the Blue Jays, Bearcats, Fireflies, and Lounge Lizards. Following the graduation of the Lizards, the UNS Kurosawa finished its refit and called for Kambei’s return. Shimura was quick to oblige, and now serves as the vessel’s CAG, overseeing several VF Fighter Squads including the Gun Hawks, Death Merchants, and Tempest Wolves.

Other items of note: Kambei is a resident of the planet Lucero in the Vensari System, having moved there after the Kurosawa declared it their home port. Also, he is best recognized around the fleet for a trademark quiet strength and a caring, paternal nature with his charges.
