'''Commander Kamado''' (Japanese: '''デンボク''' ''Denboku'') is the boss of the [[Galaxy Team]]. He is an ancestor of [[Professor Rowan]].<ref name="ancestor"/>

==In the core series==
Kamado makes his first appearance in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], where the player meets him in the [[Galaxy Hall]] after passing Captain [[Cyllene]]'s trial and becoming an official member of the Galaxy Expedition Team. He then issues missions for the player to quell the frenzied [[Noble Pokémon]] over the course of the game.

Kamado immigrated to Hisui from an unspecified region, after his and [[Beni]]'s hometown was burned down by maddened Pokémon. Kamado and Beni then came to Hisui, where he hoped to build a new home where people could live free from the fear of Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Kamado practices {{wp|sumo}} and is infamous for sumo throwing people.
* Kamado's mustache is reminiscent of those shown on menpō used by samurai. Such facial hair was historically associated with a warlike character.<ref>[https://mai-ko.com/travel/japanese-history/museum-notes/the-samurai-face-masks-men-yoroi-menpou/ Tea Ceremony Kyoto Museum] "The purpose of the mustache is to give it more natural look and also more war-like look. During the peaceful ego [sic] period all the men were asked to shave their beards because having a beard may mean the daimyos want to fight and want to revolt against the shogunate."</ref>
* The suit of armor that Kamado wears while battling is highly similar to that of [[Wikstrom]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]].
** Said armor is also stated to be from [[Galar]].
* In the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], when Kamado loses his composure, he takes on a dialect that is often associated with the real life {{wp|Kansai region}}, the region [[Johto]] is based on.
** In the Italian version, Kamado mentions the [[Whirl Islands]] and [[Mt. Silver]] by name.<ref>'''Soruan:''' "Cosa...? Dice che ne arriva un altro?! Per tutti i mulinelli delle [[Whirl Islands|Isole Vorticose]]! Ma la Catena rossa è ormai in pezzi! Affrontare un’altra lotta del genere sarebbe troppo persino per <Player>!" ({{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Italian)</ref><ref>'''Soruan:''' "Malediz... <Player>! Ritirata, ho detto! O ti faccio fare un volo da qui al [[Mt. Silver|Monte Argento]]!" ({{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Italian)</ref>
