Oda Hideyoshi (b. ???? - d. 1 July 3058) was a Draconis Combine MechWarrior and commander of the Otomo.

History

Oda commanded the Otomo for more than fifteen years, and was a hard-line veteran who preferred Takashi Kurita's Bushido philosophies over those of his son, Theodore Kurita. Regardless, his loyalty to Theodore appeared to be above reproach.[1] In fact, despite the fact than he accepted to pilot a Combine OmniMech, a Sunder, when more traditionalists prefer to keep their old machines, he joined the Black Dragon Society and accept to help them to kill Theodore Kurita. They decided to attack in the celebration of the Coordinator's Birth, the 1 of July of 3058. However, the plot failed thanks to the efforts of the mercenary group Camacho's Caballeros, the Ninth Ghost Legion and the ISF leader, Subhash Indrahar, who sacrificed his life to decapitate the conspiracy.[2] The commander of the Ninth, Tai-Sa Eleanor Shimazu, engaged Oda's Sunder with her Mauler before he reached the Coordinator's stand, downing him.[3]

Death and Legacy

Ironically, Oda was temporally saved by the First Sword of Light, who mistook the Ghost Regiment as the real traitors, and put an end to the fight. Oda asked permission of the First's commander, Tomoe Sakade, wife of Theodore, to bring his 'Mech upright, and as deference, it was granted. But after his Sunder was again standing, Hideyoshi charged the Coordinator's stand, screaming "Death to the traitor!". He barely had advanced before the combined fire of Shimazu and Sakade struck the back of his OmniMech, causing it to explode and killing him instantly.[4] After Oda's death and the failure of the plot, Theodore ordered purges of any Black Dragon sympathizers.

BattleMechs

It is unknown what class of BattleMech Oda piloted before, but his last machine was a Sunder OmniMech.[citation needed]
