Midori Bioscience

Midori Bioscience is a Japanese biological research company and laboratory founded by biochemist Midori Atarashi in 1984 that originally did chemical research on local habitats and environmental studies. By the 90's, however he saw the company failing and decided to boost it's reputation by investing heavily in more fringe chemical studies; by 1992 the newly-named Nami-Atarashi Biogenics became an official subsidiary of Midori Bioscience, freeing Midori to proceeded with genetic engineering of crops and later insects as well as experimental cybernetic technology and the production of organically-enhanced prosthetics.

### **History**

Some time in 1996 Eito Yoshida became one of the top, controlling scientists at Midori after Atarashi was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, he became too weak to come in to work for long periods; already concerned for his company, it may have been Eito that suggested to Midori to purchase Nami Medicinal in Tokyo, another medical company on the brink of bankruptcy, Eito aided Midori in bringing the two companies together as a subsidiary, and from that moment on Eito became a close friend of Atarashi, becoming almost like a father to him, like he never had.

Eito promised to create newer departments researching prosthetics and human research to aid in the fields of medicine and help people across the world; this made Midori happy and he gladly let him take over in his stead should he not be in office, which slowly became more and more likely as he got weaker.

Eito, however would begun to use Midori's laboratories for more fringe research purposes; something that Atarashi was not too keen on; to a limit Midori allowed him some research, notably sticking to insect research; Eito's dreams, however could not be sated. He wanted to unlock the secrets of this so-called PGI Research; a defunct British company who were supposedly behind the creation of the first cybrids; to do this he made some shady deals with Yakuza Goro Imai, who used Midori's early prosthetics research to give Goro enhanced arms and legs; Eito believed that this, combined with research from PGI, and later via the NHX compound stolen from Theodore Lind by System-12, may save Atarashi's life.

In 2009 Goro agreed to steal PGI's data from the British Government via Takashi-Starr Software Solutions connection to Bailey Industries, that had British and Japanese roots; in doing so Takashi-Starr became a Yakuza acquisition, and found a way to hack and steal information from the British government about PGI.

Over the years Eito began creating modified animals, particularly fish, reptiles and insects that System-12 payed a substantial amount to study and provided Midori Bioscience with a vast amount of money to expand and continue it's operations.

In 2011 Midori Atarashi died before Eito could help him, and left the company in his hands; despite the sadness, he continued his research, one of his most controversial, was using his own sperm and modified egg from his wife using wasp and bee DNA, acquired when she agreed to be an egg donor; secretly inseminating her during sex, Eito would father his son, Haru, who would later become a cybrid.

During this time he also created the highly modified Kabuto from another donor egg of a random woman, but kept him in a lab.
