He had private tutelage, acceptance to the National University and a plum military commission upon graduation. In the military, though, it soon became apparent that the Yamata family name would not be sufficient to earn him the respect of his men. Although still very green, Keiji was deployed to the island of Kattan, an outlying island populated by hostile natives. As a military man, it was expected that he would pacify these natives through force of arms. Instead, Keiji revealed an intrinsic skill with diplomacy, pacifying the natives through earning their good will. After creating peace on the small island, Keiji was moved to the State Diplomacy Office, where he served for five years.
