Personal History		Hiro was born into a StarFleet family. His father and mother both were in the service and though not located on board ships they worked at the various locations doing many of the so called desk tasks that kept the Fleet running. While each did not serve on a ship they encouraged their two sons to enter Fleet and to head to the stars. Jiro did not find any interest in the Fleet or having a career in it and found that he loved the arts better becoming a painter and poet of modicum renown. Hiroshi on the other hand took the Academy and with a near single mindedness pursued not only his studies there but learning a far ranging set of skills. Though he did well in his science and flight background his eyes were always on gaining not just a place on a ship but commanding one. His first assignment was as a flight controller on the USS Bennington. His attention to detail and quick input in various situations caught the eye of the captain and first officer. He was transferred to the USS Pegasus as second officer and from there began to move up the ranks and ships to his present position.
