Born the sixth - and last - son of Oda Mizushima, Rokuro grew up on Planet Junyo. Oda, his father, was a fairly successful businessman, in charge of the production of a variety of luxury foods for Samura Industries.

Having five older brothers, he was largely ignored by his parents as he wasn’t going to inherit the business. Largely due to his parents’ lack of care, he ran away from home at age 14. He was found trying to get off-planet, and returned to his parents’ home.

However, events unfolded differently after he tried to run away again days after his 16th birthday. It was 813 A.S., and the Bretonian-Kusari conflict had just begun. Instead of being returned to his family, the men who found him brought him to a naval flight academy - after all, during this time every capable pilot would increase their chances in the war.

He was taught there, but never fully completed his training. Months after he was brought to the academy, his father took him back home.

The tense relations at home only got worse. Rokuro and his father barely spoke, and if they did, it was a heated argument. As word of his son’s running away had gotten out, his father accused him of ruining his reputation. His son’s betrayal, as Oda Mizushima saw it, was affecting him at work.

Almost two years passed, during which the family business crumbled. Rokuro’s father grew more bitter every day. Moral barriers faded. His son was now almost an adult, and would surely leave the household. As a final act of desperation, Oda Mizushima decided to sell Rokuro, his own son, into slavery.
