Corrupted businessman. Authoritarian. Background: Hiroto Oshiro was born into a relatively poor family on Planet Honshu. Hiroto lived with his father - Hiroshi Oshiro - who was a fallen promising politician - now a small-time government official. Hiroshi has taken his downfall after an affair concerning Geisha's House involving Hiroto's mother. Scandalous photos have been published by a young woman journalist fighting for women rights, thus resulting in the downfall of Hiroto's father and his drinking problem. As a result, Hiroto has never known his mother in person.
Hiroto Oshiro was an ambitious man craving for power. He only went to the best Universities in Kusari, seeking best education possible. Becoming a salesman executive for the Gas Miners Guild on Aomori at the age of only 24 didn't seem enough for him either. Perhaps it is true that once a lower-class citizen rises to power, he will do anything to claim riches and step on anyone standing in front of his goals. Hiroto did his best to achieve these goals and his apetite would constantly grow for more power and influence.
The true rise of Hiroto Oshiro has started in 814 A.S. when the war between Kusari and Bretonia has begun. With the discovery of the Okinawa system Hiroto would propose an unpopular plan of using Bretonian prisoners of war for hard labour in Plutonium mines in the newly settled system.
At first the project from such an average GMG official received no response and was largely ignored, claiming to be inhumane and even cruel by some. However, with rapidly increasing depletion of Sigma's 13 resources and a need for big investment in Sigma 19 and its' Ogashawa stationary miner, the Guild has started to see reason from Hiroto's point of view.
Hiroto has made many friends among the politicians in his early business days. The government officials helped him to push forward the resolution for this project. With the already overflowed Fuchu Prison and constant increase of Bretonian PoW's after the Tau Campaign the Kusarian Government was gladd to accept the Gas Miners Guild proposal. It was with Hiroto's personal initiative that the first wave of PoW's was delivered to the newly founded prison colony in Okinawa system in 814 A.S.
Hiroto has struck the mother lode. The plutonium mines proved to be profitable beyond Hiroto's wildest expectations. Cheap labour, rich resources and uncompetetive enviroment made Hiroto a powerful man within the Guild as he has risen to position of Trade Supervisor with wealth competing even that of some of the Guild Masters.
It was more of a victory for Hiroto than that of the Guild. The drawback of the greedy is corruption. As governor of Okinawa and owner of the Macao Liner Hiroto Oshiro would often abuse his position in the environment largely unmonitored and uncontrolled by the Kusari State Police.
