Biography:
Gen, like his elder sibling Kaori, grew up on Planet Kyushu and learned the trade of a farmer throughout his earliest years. Unlike Kaori however, he was the first male child of the family and so it could be said that his bringing up was prioritized, especially by his father who was an intense patriot and an admirer of the emperor. His father wanted his line to contribute to the greatness of their country, though he himself had lacked the education and physical fortitude to be a pilot or to serve in the army, instead a young Gen was groomed for this purpose as soon as the child was old enough to be capable of learning.
When Gen's siblings had to work in the fields, he was made to read and study and never miss school. There were many cases when he was found lazily neglecting his duties, and his father made sure to strictly punish him rather often. Maybe it was one of the reasons why the elder sister Kaori chose to leave the family so early, as Gen would be favored quite unfairly at times, even though it was apparent he was lacking in his duty and willingness to study when compared to his sister. He loved her though, and hopefully so she did, and he made sure to support her in her struggle for her own destiny.
As Gen was growing up, he did his best to avoid any kind of responsibility, however, he was eventually made to join the Naval Academy with the threat of a good whipping. He had quite mediocre results, and in the end, he graduated as a mediocre pilot, and was assigned his first duty in the Navy just as the fighting with Bretonia broke out.
