The Kamida family is a family of some small noble prominence. Put in power by the Emperor in the early years of the Kusari Empire to watch over Planet Kyushu and guard its rice offering qualities. Following the rise of democracy within Kusari however they have broken free from their chains of the current ruling democrats of Kusari and strive towards their own goals, acting under the Tokui Komainu banner. Although there have been some exceptions the Kamida all follow the pure blood line, and are always rules by the eldest descendant of the current lord.
Origins
The Kamida Clans earliest archived history denotes their family as possessing some ties to the previous Imperial line following the hectic departure to present day New Tokyo. Work as court advisers and attendants granted the Kamida Clan prominence in the eyes of the Imperial line. Viewed as a reliable candidate, following the successful repression of several riots sourcing from southern provinces of New Tokyo, Tetsu Kamida was soon short lined for the populations of recently discovered inhabitable planets. Following his sudden death on the 62 A.S. his son Shouta Kamida inherited this considerations.

Loyalties
Summary
Relations
Having been the lineage to appoint the Kamida to their place of nobility, as well as those that they swore their loyalty to, the Kamida retain a fierce loyalty to this lineage; following their removal from the new democracy.
While having served them faithfully the Kamida share a resentment to the Kogen lineage since many view their ascension to power to be one of the key factors in the increase of Samura influence across Kusari. Due to the lineages close connections with corporate figures they inadvertently aided in a corrosive effect of these figures on the traditions and values of Kusari.
View by the Kamida as both a traditional disgust and a threat to their very way of life, the Kamida are in contempt of this new Democracy; considering it an alien and disastrous ideal. Similar too many other nobles who fled Kusari the Kamida believe that the democracy is the casting down of tradition, and with its previous social statuses which it previously encompassed.
