Konnichiwa,
My name is Kato Terada, and I come from a distinguished lineage of samurai, many of which have been honored for their service in the defense of Kusari. I've always known that I would follow in their footsteps, and so I have prepared throughout my childhood, learning what I could and practicing the skills necessary, the most important of which was patience. In my earlier years, I was impatient and anxious to join the fight and make a difference as soon as possible, but I have learned since then that a great warrior must wait for the proper time to strike, and prepare himself to do so when that opportunity comes. That time for me is now. I have graduated from the Naval Academy, served out my training tour, and am now ready to bring the battle to the doorstep of the enemy.
