Kioshi Sako

## History

### **Early Life**

Kioshi was born in Kyoto, Japan. His mother was a koto instructor that occasionally performed concerts, his father an average salary man. He lived a happy, carefree life for his first free years of life. He was a thoroughly normal child.

### **Syndicate Slave**

When he was about six he, along with a dozen other Japanese children were kidnapped by the Syndicate during an "accident" orchestrated by the Syndicate. He was subjected to the experimentation that turned him into a chimera. He spent the better part of his life as a sex slave for the Syndicate, alongside a bunny chimera named Nana, who was kidnapped at the same time as him. He escaped at the age of 13 when he feared Nana would be killed and he strangled his handler, "Boss."

### **With the Phantoms**

Since escaping he spent a few months with the thief group known as the Phantoms. During this time he learned skills in thievery and developed a crush on the member known as Aaron. Nana still lives with them.

### **At Ravenhold**

He was arrested for stealing, related to the Phantoms activity and attends Ravenhold on parole. He rooms with Ryland who he quickly learns to trust and becomes attached to, developing a bit of a crush on him as well. Kioshi is grateful to be at Ravenhold Academy but believes it to be "too good to be true."
