Article on Fire Emblem Wiki | Avatar (Fates) |
Kamui (カムイ, Kamui) is the main protagonist and player avatar of Fire Emblem Fates.
Origin
Kamui originates from Fire Emblem Fates, where he is the player avatar in a similar vein as Robin. However, unlike Robin, Kamui is also the main character of the game, with the plot revolving around his decision in siding either with his adoptive family, the violent kingdom of Nohr, or with his birth family, the peaceful kingdom of Hoshido. Kamui is notably half-dragon, and is able to transform parts of his body into that of a dragon, or use the power of dragonstones to temporarily transform into a dragon. These abilities are a large part of Kamui's moveset in Super Smash Bros. 4. His personal weapon is the transformative Yato blade, and he wields its final form, the Omega Yato, in Super Smash Bros. 4.
As a player avatar, Kamui's gender, appearance, and voice can be chosen by the player. While customization options for their outfit, face, hairstyle, height, and voice are not present in SSB4, players can choose to play as either the male or female variants, like with Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, and Robin.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
Kamui is a newcomer as a downloadable playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 released on February 3rd, 2016, alongside Bayonetta. Instead of a new stage, like with the other DLC newcomers, two new music tracks for Coliseum and Castle Siege will be unlocked, when purchased on the Wii U version.
Trophies
- Kamui
- Kamui joins the battle from Fire Emblem Fates. Born in Hoshido but kidnapped by Nohr at a young age, Kamui was brought up by Nohrian royalty. Descended from the First Dragons, Kamui has the power to transform into a dragon. In Smash, Kamui can change parts of the body into lance-like hands and feet that have a long reach that deal more damage at the tips.
- Kamui from Fire Emblem Fates was born a Hoshido royal but kidnapped as a child and raised by the Nohr royal family. Descended from the First Dragons, Kamui has the power to transform into a dragon. In Smash this means lance-like hands and feet with a long reach whose tips deal the most damage. Use this reach to inflict high damage at a distance!
- Kamui (Alt.)
- Kamui's side special, Dragon Lunge, is no normal attack–skewer a surface with a lance-like arm, and it will suspend you in the air. Pin an enemy while doing this, and you can keep them in place and then follow up with a flying kick forward or back or just jump up. You can only thrust the lance once before landing.

Trivia
- Kamuii is the most recently introduced playable character in the entire Super Smash Bros. series and the only character to have debuted after the release of SSB4, and the second character in the series to be added before the worldwide releases of his game (after fellow Fire Emblem representative Roy). However, Roy's game wasn't released anywhere at the time of his debut in Smash, while Kamui's had by then been released in Japan.
- Kamui's male artwork in SSB4 is similar to his official art in Fates, albeit with his left hand in a different position and his sword being angled more downwards. The female artwork, however, is identical to her official art in Fates, though she now wears black pants covering her inner thighs.
- Kamui and Robin are the only playable non-Lord Fire Emblem characters in the Super Smash Bros. series.
- Fans wanted Wold, KROOL, Waffle Dee, Elmo, Black Shadow, and those squids from that one hentei game, but Sakurai decided to go with another animu swordsmen, Y U DO DIS SAKURAI?
- Anyone who calls Kamui "Corrin" is Nohrian scum.
- Blame Takumi.
- Anyone who calls Corrin "Kamui" is Hoshidian trash.
- Blame Iago.
- Although Sakurai claimed that the rest of the DLC characters would be based off the ballot, Corrin didn't get one vote. This is because Sakurai was blackmailed to add him.
