My name is Kazuhiro, Kazuhiro Akahoshi that is I was born on Planet Erie, Pennsylvania System, Republic of Liberty in the year 877 A.S. I am the son of a Kusari man by the name of Kenji Akahoshi and my Liberitorian mother Euphemia Blackwood. It is note that my parents where for a sort time married at the time of my birth my father died in an ship to ship collision in the California system when his freighter was ejected from it trade lane an struck one of his would be attackers. I can say that then windowed mother never did recover from the lost of my father as some of my earliest memories were of her crying herself to sleep over him. I grew up very poor as my mother became very I'll and unable to work shortly after i turned 15 I was left to pay our bills forcing me to grow up quickly and do whatever I could to earn money, as you can imagine confrontation with the Liberty Police Corporation were common. Call it I'll fortune or just plain bad luck but my life hit a major milestone when I managed to get in serious trouble with the law while taking a job as a courier for some thugs on Erie getting caught shortly after acquiring my package, landing me 5 years in Sugarland prison. While incarcerated my mother passed away from her illness. Still some good came from my time in prison in the form of a man named Paul Moonrunner, he was my cell mate and a close freind and mentor. Shortly after being released from prison we traveled back to Erie managing to get a job as freelancer freighter pilots, purchasing ships with the money Paul had saved up from his days as a convoy escort.
