Childhood
Miyako was born in 1615 in Tokyo. He was the youngest son of a Daimyo, and much was expected of him. However, he was no warrior, and was a shame to his family. He was feminine and more interested in art and philosophy and reading then in fulfilling his familial duty. Still, he married and bore children, and in truth he really loved his young wife. His Father-In-Law, however, was a drunken brute of a man, and he beat and abused Miyako often.


In self-defense one day, he stabbed the Daimyo, ending his life. To keep the shame from his family, he committed ritual suicide. He was twenty two years old.
