## Biography

### Early years

Jaro was born in the first half of the 50s of the 20th century in the United States, his childhood remains unknown, but due to his harsh nature, he could have been brought up in not the most favorable family conditions and most likely he was treated very strictly.

### Conscription and the Vietnam War

At the age of 18, Jaro was drafted and accepted into the ranks of the US Army, where at that moment the war was still going on in the territories of Vietnam. Private Rintaro, according to his stories, showed unfailing courage and was ready to defend his homeland, violently killing Vietnamese and Russian soldiers. For his courage in battle, he bothered to raise the rank to corporal, but by that time the war had already ended and the US troops were withdrawn back to the country, where many soldiers were allowed to return to their homes.

### Invasion of Panama

A few years after the end of the Vietnam War, by the end of the 80s, the 34-year-old and self-sufficient Jaro was again drafted back into the army, this time under the leadership of the CIA, he was instructed, along with other fighters, to take part in the invasion of the territory of the state of Panama , with the aim of capturing and arresting President Manuel Noriega. On Jaro's account, at least five Panamanian soldiers encountered on the way were killed.

The operation went pretty quickly, and five days later, when President Noriega was arrested and handed over to the CIA, the US soldiers were again driven back to their native country. Despite this, Jaro was still loyal to the army and led the usual service until 1997.

### Birth of Kudo

Six months after the completion of the operation in Panama, Jaro met his wife and after 7 years from the moment they met, he bothered to marry her. During the marriage trip to his wife's homeland, Japan, at that moment the girl went into labor and Jaro saw the birth of his own son, Kudo. After that, Jaro was forced to leave his native army and be more focused on domestic activities, including household chores and looking after a newborn tiger cub. When Kudo was 12 years old, Jaro tried to raise a real predator in his son, which he himself was, because of this, he often subjected his son to physical violence, believing that this would help him better train his will and raise morale, but he did not like it very much wife, who, on the contrary, tried to protect her son from the instructions of her husband.

### Death

When Kudo turned 18, Jaro stopped issuing any instructions to his son, listening to his wife's requests and giving his son the opportunity to develop more independently, providing him with money for education and feeding. Despite the care, due to frequent early beatings and punishments, Jaro was an unloved father for Kudou and often there were misunderstandings between them.

In the end, Jaro died unexpectedly on May 27, 2021, leaving behind him not much money for survival, thereby shifting all his male responsibility in the family onto the shoulders of his young son.
