"For want of a nail... the horseshoe was lost. For want of a horseshoe, the steed was lost. For want of a steed... the message was not delivered. For want of an undelivered message... the war was lost."

Biography[]

Career[]

As a Yakuza boss, Kamata possessed a great deal of influence over Tokyo's criminal underworld. At some point in the past, he used his influence to claim Tokyo's street racing as his "turf" and put his nephew Takashi in charge of managing the place as part of the family business.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift[]

Upon discovering that Han was stealing money from him, Kamata visited Takashi and reprimanded his nephew for not noticing, causing Takashi to go after Han in retaliation. Although Han was able to escape in the car chase that ensued, he was t-boned by another car while attempting to drive away and seemingly died when his car violently exploded not long after.

After Han's supposed death, Sean Boswell came to Kamata with a duffel bag full of all the cash that Han had stolen and offered the mobster a deal: a race between himself and Takashi, in which the loser had to leave Tokyo for good. As Takashi had already defeated Sean in a race before, Kamata accepted Sean's deal and forced a reluctant Takashi to do the same. After Takashi cost himself the race when he recklessly tried to ram Sean off the road, Kamata had his henchmen take Takashi away out of disgust and kept his end of the deal by allowing Sean to stay in Tokyo.
