History[]
One Year War[]
Cameron was engaged to be married to Mirai Yashima as arranged by their parents. When war broke out, Cameron fled to Side 6 while Mirai immigrated to Side 7 due to the death of her father. Late in the One Year War when White Base heads to Side 6, Cameron and Mirai are reunited when Cameron meets with White Base to explain to them Side 6's fines on any combat within its borders. Cameron wants Mirai to stay behind with him, but she becomes upset with him since he didn't personally search for her, instead relying on others to do so while he left to Side 6. Trying to win Mirai back, Cameron risks his life by arranging to have his personal shuttle lead White Base out of Side 6. As Zeon forces approach, Bright and Mirai push Cameron to retreat for his own safety. Cameron travels past the bridge to look upon Mirai one last time and say goodbye.
Original Development Revealed[]

As of 2024, Mandarake auctioned off several of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's original setting documents, one of which was of Cameron. In commentary given by Yasuhiko at the time of the auction, Cameron is described, at the point of production, as a man who, "Despite his short appearance, (Cameron) left a strong impression as Mirai's fiance and love rival with Sleggar Law. Although he was a guest character, I was surprised when he appeared in Char's Counterattack. This helped me see that the characters I designed with a strong presence in the Gundam world had more meaning. In contrast to his somewhat unreliable design, he originally was intended to be a manly character who, despite their differences in the story, remains true to his position and love for Mirai, which is also reflected in the design. The depiction of the height difference between him and Mirai is also noteworthy." Cameron's original setting document, rendered with graphite on paper, sold for $1,919.27 USD or ¥275,000.00 JPY JPY
