About Me
I am Ichiro Watanabe. I recently joined the Naval Forces, and am the first in the history of my family to have done so.
I grew up on Honshu. My father's job as an engineer at Yukuwa shipyard provided a comfortable and stable life for us. I went through school with relatively high marks, and met my wonderous wife in my final year of schooling.
Afterwards I went to the Naval Academy, and just recently graduated and got my first assignment. I am currently stationed on the battleship Nagumo and assigned to patrol primarily Kyushu and adjacent systems. I was a little disappointed, as I had hoped to go to the front and fight against Bretonia, but any service for the Emperor is a glorious one.
My views are not terribly complicated. I believe foremost in the will of Emperor. I wish to preserve Kusari tradition, but not to such an extent that we fall behind other houses and ignore advances. I do not hate foreigners, as many here do. So long as they are respectful and not polluting Kusari with crime and drugs, I do not mind their presence. I do not despise even the Bretonians, aside from their fool Queen and the treacherous BMM scourges, who manipulated and eventually shattered the peace in the Taus.
