Synopsis and history

Kishiro Technologies was founded in 10 AS as a small research company by the now venerated Katsuhiro Kishiro. First coming to preeminence for genetically enhancing Earth native fish species to survive the changed conditions of New Tokyo. This move was quickly followed by a new strain of rice that flourished under the harsh conditions found in their new home.

After a series of successful plant and animal modifications Kishiro's new company won the adulation of both the Emperor and the Imperial Family. With official approval of the Emperor people flocked to the company now named Kishiro Technologies which not only allowed them to avoid being absorbed by Samura but allowed them to expand into several new industries. Although slowly becoming a manufacturing giant, Kishiro's main goal had always been research and development of new technologies and new ways to use them.

In 91 AS., Kishiro Technologies achieved a breakthrough in the development of quantum circuitry that revolutionized the entire economy almost overnight. Just as its founder had originally planned, Kishiro products found their way into almost every consumer, commercial, or military product on the market -- including those made by Samura.

With the expanded capital Kishiro was finally able to open a major Shipyard in the then developing Honshu system which was to specialize in production of ships to the civilian market. After many centuries Kishiro Technologies has moved from strength to strength. In 812 A.S. Yukiko Kishiro took over the position of C.E.O. of Kishiro Technologies from her father Makoto Kishiro. Although he was a brilliant man he had failed to exert the company to it's full potential. Thus began a period of restructuring that has endured for the last four years. The fleet of transports have been completely rebuilt, trade contracts have been subjugated to scrutiny and prioritized. Our standing with other groups has also been looked at and changes have been put in place to reflect the direction that the company now wishes to take.
