Akio "Headshot" Hamasaki was a minor Draconis Combine noble and founder of the Hamasaki's Hussars mercenary unit.[1]

History

Born to a minor noble family in the Combine, Akio Hamasaki would become an elite MechWarrior, swiftly earning a reputation as a rising star within the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery. With Akio seemingly poised to reach the highest levels of Combine society, House Hamasaki instead fell victim to the endemic infighting of feudal politics, snuffing out his prospects for advancement in the DCMS. Finding his future now too limited in the Combine, Hamasaki instead chose to become a mercenary and founded the Hamasaki's Hussars.[1].

BattleMechs

Akio Hamasaki would pilot a Highlander BattleMech during his time with Hamasaki's Hussars, his personal 'Mech bearing a bullseye on its head, a nod to frequency it received headshots and inspiring Akio's nickname.[1]
