Yoshito Sanders was born to a minorly wealthy Ni-Kunni merchant family living primarily in the Aridia region of Amarr space. The family has been free from slavery for 9 generations, with Andias Sanders the first to be freed by his Holder. When Yoshito was a young wee lad, he always dreamed of following in his family's footsteps. However, this was not to be.

Minmatar pirates attacked his parents' ship while they were on a trading run through low security space. No, the pirates didn't kill his parents. In fact, they didn't even manage to do much to the ship. See, these pirates were REALLY BAD at their jobs. Like, mentally challenged bad.

However, the delay they caused, brief as it was, caused daddy Tandiras Sanders to be five minutes late on his delivery, thus losing the coveted bonus of 400 Data Sheets that the family desperately needed to use as toilet paper. Thus his family was left stinky and crusty.
