Background & Career History

---

Hamada Kiyo was born and raised in Sapporo, capital city of the second largest island in Japan; Hokkaido. As a child she was very shy, and during her school years this developed into an awkwardness that kept her from making many friends. The few friends she did make were more akin to study partners as she was more likely to be seen with her head in a piece of schoolwork than relaxing. Despite her shy and studious nature, she was never on the receiving end of any bullying like some of the others, and this served to propel her further into her studies. Receiving excellent grades at school, she proceeded to almost literally breeze through her two years of college - even taking up an extra two-year course at the beginning of her second year and managing to complete it entirely in twelve months. A fortnight visiting family in San Francisco prior to her 18th birthday resulted in an application to Starfleet Academy, which was accepted. Kiyo never returned home to Japan at the end of the family break, instead moving straight into student accommodation at the Academy. The four years at the Academy saw Kiyo truly in her element and she scored highly on almost all of her subjects. Further academic success, various other awards and promotions came easily, but also at the expense of never getting beyond her social awkwardness.

Having served aboard a handful of vessels as HCO, 2nd and 1st Officer, Kiyo gladly accepted a lecturers post back at the Academy. Returning to San Francisco Kiyo found herself in the third branch colour of her career, as she now worked for the Division of Arts & Sciences History Department. Promoted to Lieutenant-Commander by Starfleet Command, and appointed a Senior Lecturer by the Academy Commandant, Kiyo had all the work and continued study she could have ever wished for. It wasn't long however, before she was reassigned to the Academy campus aboard Starbase 118 where she split her work between teaching history and assisting HCO Cadets. She was placed back into a gold collar around this time, despite still officially working for the History Department. With a new home to settle into and a massive station to fully explore, maybe it was time to finally put 'learn to make friends' on her to do list?
