Kamachi Akimori(山田有信; ??-1578) was a retainer of the Otomo clan during the Edo period.

He served under Sorin Otomo.

He was known as a skilled commander in the battle and also considered to be one of the pillars for the otomo house serving in all their major campaigns.

On 1578, Otomo Yoshishige attacked Shimazu clan and Arinobu gathered 500 troop to hold ground at Taka Castle. He managed to defend the castle and this led to a decline in the morale of Otomo troop. In the battle of Mimigawa that followed, the Shimazu army defeated Otomo who retreated under heavy losses unfortunately this was Kamachi Akimori's last battle.
