Personal history

He was born part of the Inuzuka clan and lived there for a portion of his childhood, being raised by loving parents who spoiled him and provided him with a peaceful and healthy environment. They often did activities together, such as; going to the fish market, dancing, singing, playing music, storytelling, and going to the park (these were their favorite activities). On one of their trips to the park, Oz finds a lonely child sitting on the ground reading a book. He strikes up a conversation with the child and Oz finds that his name is Akio Kawakami. This is the beginning of a lost lasting friendship between the two. Oz goes to school and lives his life peacefully during these first few years of his life.   Then when he was 8 years old, his parents left on a mission and he was sent to the orphanage the night they left. He was sent there in his sleep and ended up waking up at the orphanage; not knowing why he was sent there or where his parents were it took him a while to adjust and accept that he was not going home. Being sent to the orphanage was one of the most major turning points in his life, he ended up staying in the orphanage for 3 years. Becoming close to a woman named Kyoya (lovingly dubbed 'Yoya' by the children), Oz treated her like a second mother and she treated him like her own child. He then was adopted by a very problematic and abusive family that ended up mentally, and physically abusing him for about a year. This caused a lot of inner turmoil within the 11-year-old, he now struggles with his self-worth because of these particular events.   He met two men named Seiho Minobe and Emiko Sugai. Oz ended up becoming attached to them and they helped him in his time of need and ended up running away with them; thus becoming a rogue in the process. They traveled across many provinces together and made a lot of progress with Oz emotionally, taught him how to defend himself, and gave him a new sense of self-worth. Oz believed them to be a family. After 7 years of traveling with his newfound fatherly companions, he gets a letter from his best friend Akio Kawakami. (Whom he has kept in contact with throughout his entire life since he was three. They are very close and care for each other heavily.)

Mental Trauma

  • His parents leaving: he has no idea where they went, they could be dead or they could just not want him. These thoughts came to be very mentally debilitating for Oz and caused his self-esteem and morale to greatly decrease.
  • His adoption: He was adopted by an extremely toxic couple in hopes to fix their relationship with a child. The couple ended up worsening Oz's already poor mental state by mentally and physically abusing him every day for a year. The "Father" physically abused him when he got drunk, and the "mother" mentally abused him
  • His many death scares during missions after becoming a part of the Soleil. (being blown up, getting a Large X sliced into his chest, being burned alive by Sumiko, etc. )
