Okamai Gai is a large village with towering scenery, by far one of the largest villages in Mizu no Kuni. It's overrun with Yakuza and Mercenaries from foreign towns and clans. To the East, there are the Namako Yakuza, a gang of veteran mobsters that keep a watchful eye over Okamai. While to the West, there are the destructive and manipulative Kayaku Yakuza who often hire Mercenary Ninja as bodyguards. Thus, they are usually claimed to be "in control" of the village. Most everyone in Okamai Gai are hospitable and nice to outsiders, but both Yakuza gangs are against outsiders interfering.

Many years ago, this city rested near the souther border of Kaminari no Kuni, until a war broke out within the city limits.

Now all that is left of the city is a multitude of stone ruins and a single tower that still stands in the center. The ruins are now usually a resting place for bandits and wandering ninja looking for a place to hide.
