## Background

Hisao was born in 2013, in Akita, Japan. Rural Japan life was nice, boring, and traditional, he had a loving family and an older brother, Shinohara Raiden. As a child he and his brother practiced the art of kendo together, and he thought the idea of samurai were cool as a child (As most children do cause samurai are cool). His and many others' life changed on April 30, 2021. That is the day, before his eyes, his brother became a "demon." To the poor eight year old, his older brother was transformed into a monster, though later he learned this was actually goblinization into an Oni. It mattered little to him at the time, as he drew a knife from his kitchen drawer and stabbed his brother to death, afraid of the "demon" that had taken form.

Fast forward to ten years later on his eighteenth birthday, January 10th, 2031. He joined the Japanese military and was put to work defending the supplies sent to the concentration camps of Yomi Island. Hisao was... mortified at what he saw. Squalor, poverty, rampant disease and starvation, and fear. Over his three years in the military he ended up befriending a small oni girl, probably goblinized as a baby as she was only about ten and stuck in this camp. She didn't even have a proper name, so he named her Sayuri. He ensured that she got her fill of food, water, and even medicine, and eventually defected from the Japanese military with her, escaping to UCAS, where the smuggler that got him there lived. It was at this point he swore himself to Bushido. And his master he was loyal to was his now adopted daughter, Shinohara Sayuri. He practiced with the blade and other weapons to embody the ideals of a samurai.

He found employment at Lonestar for the time being, in a wonderous place called Seattle. Being a Japanese man who would sometimes whip out a literal katana, he ended up being quite the black sheep. He had tried saving up for ware, but bills, taking care of (And frankly spoiling) a child, an other factors made it to where he never had the resources to get ware, refusing to go in debt for it.

His life changed once again in 2039, on February 7th. Sayuri, now 18, was rounded up into a makeshift detention center warehouse for "her own good". Hisao begged and was put to work guarding the detention center by Lonestar. Then it happened... Hisao awoke one night to terrible screams coming from the center. It was ablaze, the smell of charring flesh filled the air as people begged for their lives. The Hand of Five poloclub was firebombing the center, and his Lonestar companions just sat there and watched it happen... Hisao lept into action, trying to pry open the barred doors but failing, instead just watching as his daughter was burnt to a crisp before his very eyes.

Just like that he was masterless.

Something broke in him. He didn't interfere with the Hand of Five. Not yet at least. He planned carefully, using his position at Lonestar to assist him in exacting vigilante justice on them. When Lonestar was forced to crack down on Hand of Five by Seattle, he was ruthless in interrogations, and used the extent of whatever pull he had to convict them, and whichever ones he couldn't convict, he exacted revenge on outside of the purview of the law.

However, his career in Lonestar fell to ruins when a body, missing fingers, eyes, and toes was found. Obviously tortured to death. The trails seemed to point back to Hisao. While the case didn't officially go anywhere (Hisao was good at covering his tracks, after all), his public reputation was ruined and he was fired from Lonestar, the media painting him as "The Butcher".

He returned to Akita, now with a UCAS citizenship. He taught the blade to various students, most of which would go on to be runners in Neo Tokyo. This life bored him though. He was going to end up dying of old age, living a relatively boring life since he came back to Akita. He couldn't simply end his story there.

So back to Seattle he went, living out a runner's life in Seattle, and one hell of a career at that. He tried to focus on hooding and making the world a better place.
