## Life before the killing game

### Early Life

Misao Mochizuki, like Ayaka Shinkawa, was an orphan living in Kurashiki; Misao’s mother had died after giving birth to him, while they had no clue who or where his father was. In turn, he was sent to live with his uncle, Ichiro Satou. Since he had no parents to name him, he was called Daichi Satou. Unfortunately, Ichiro was abusive, forcing him to do everything around the house, essentially treating him like a slave. Ichiro refused to let Misao go to school due to expenses, so whenever Misao had free time, which was rare, he had to teach himself the core subjects using books he found lying around the house and television.

To add salt to the wound, once Misao hit puberty, he began to have problems in regards to his gender identity. Not having access to any support or any information to assist him in figuring out what he was really experiencing, he began to despise himself even further and suppressed his feelings, striving instead to become someone else entirely. Misao found solace in acting; reading about famous actors in magazines and watching them perform on TV, sneaking onto the home computer and printing out scripts, attempting to read them and perform himself. He’d also learned how to pickpocket and lockpick through reading. Eventually, after saving up money he had stolen from his uncle, he snuck out of the house, hopped on a train, and ran away. Soon, he auditioned for a local play at his new destination, Okayama. Luckily, he was selected, and left the audience in awe with his performance. After climbing the ranks and becoming an incredibly successful actor, he was scouted into Hope’s Peak Academy as the Super High School Level Actor. Despite all of this, he still doubted himself, believing he wasn’t deserving of all the praise.

### The Tragedy

During his time at Hope’s Peak, the Tragedy had shook the nation. The academy was shut down and eventually destroyed by the Ultimate Despair. Misao was surprised to find himself relieved. In reality, he felt extreme pressure and doubt while at the academy and began to hate it.

He watched the Killing School Life as it was being broadcasted on television and was inspired by Junko Enoshima. Deeply admiring Junko’s genius, Misao wanted to become exactly like her and formed a subsection of the Ultimate Despair, called Moonlight Theatre.
