Kiko Miller

### **BACKSTORY**

Kiko Miller previously lived in New York City, a place where Mobs were known to run. The reason for her departure? Collateral. Her junkie father, Ron Miller, promised her to the Profaci Mob’s current boss, Andrew Russo as payment if he died, and he did. The Boss’ son, Giovanni, was strangely obsessed with Kiko and offered to clear Ron’s debts if he gave up his daughter. Shortly after, Kiko’s mother, Izumi Tetsui, found out about the sociopathic “Agreement” her husband made, she decided to leave him. Her mother moved back to Japan, abandoning Kiko because she knew if she tried to take her away, she would potentially be killed. Kiko’s mother, who was a Japanese immigrant met Ron while she was working as a doctor in NYC. Due to the stress of constantly being harassed by Profaci’s men and the heartbreak of Kiko’s mother leaving him, her father killed himself by overdosing on Heroin.

Kiko was 20 at the time of her father’s death and his death really shook her because of the love she had for him and the fact she was all alone in NYC now after her mother left. Her mother never told Kiko about her father’s promise before, even though she planned on telling her when she found out about her father’s death. Her mother was not in NYC anymore, so she never got the news of her late ex husband’s death. Kiko had a resentment for her mother abandoning her, and cut ties with her, so when her mother finally found out, she couldn’t get in contact with Kiko to tell her about the “Agreement”. One day, the Profaci Boss’ Son came to Kiko’s apartment to collect her father’s debt, but when she couldn’t pay, the man told her about her father’s promise and Kiko felt utterly betrayed. She had to quickly think of a way to escape the future her father made for her. She then begged the man to give her a few days to try and collect the money ,and because he knew she couldn’t hide or leave and that they’d be able to find her, he agreed and left. As soon as the man left, she quickly packed a bag and booked a flight to Japan that was scheduled to leave that day. She never really felt like she was apart of anything in the city and never had any sort of attachment either, and because she felt strongly connected to her Japanese heritage, she decided on moving there.

When she got there, she didn’t want to have to get her family involved in the mess so she stayed in a bathhouse for about a month before one day, a staff member of the bathhouse gave her a package delivered to the establishment and addressed to her. On the box, there was a note attached, which read:

“Welcome to Japan, my love,

Unfortunately I have to cut your visit short because I’m taking you back to your new Home. I would hate to have to forcefully drag you back. I have a car waiting out front for you to be taken to the airport. I hope you enjoy your little present, I think it will look great on you.

      Love, Giovanni.”

Inside the box was a bloody necklace, one that resembled the necklace her mother always wore, and a blank piece of paper. She picked up the paper and flipped it over only to have her stomach drop; it was a picture of her mother, bruised and bloody, tied up in some sort of basement looking room with a man next to her holding the necklace. Kiko knew she had no way of helping her mother, so she made the heartbreaking decision to leave her mother and try to start a new life somewhere else. She escaped through a back entrance and got a taxi to the airport, sneaking around the Profaci men. In a rush and with little money, she booked the cheapest flight out of Japan, which is how she found her way to Los Santos. Now that she’s here, her real story can begin…
