AL FIN, YOSHIOKA A TRAVÉS DE LOS AÑOS.

FINALLY, YOSHIOKA THROUGH THE YEARS.

Beware of my heacanon backstory below:

At five years old, Yoshioka lived with his mother in China. His mother was a good person who took care of him, although she was always busy. But Yoshioka didn't see his father often because he was always on 'business trips' in Japan. I think he was a reserved child and perhaps somewhat lonely, but he was happy anyway. Originally his last name was given by his mother and his first name was chosen by his father, and I think in Chinese it would be written 闞周平 (Kàn Zhōupíng) and in Japanese 闞秀平 (Kan Shūhei). I'm sorry if I make mistakes, I'm not good at kanji/hànzi.

At the age of ten his father took him to Japan, his mother did not agree but neither she nor Yoshioka had a choice. His father wanted to take him to Japan when he was young so he could learn the language, the traditions, and so on. Since his father was a yakuza, he wanted Yoshioka to be one too, and to make him fit in better, his father got him fake identification, naming him again as 吉岡 真守 (Yoshioka Mamoru), since he doesn't work within the law anyway.

At the age of fifteen he had already gotten used to live in Japan and his life was almost that of a normal teenager, he went to school normally and he was allowed to have hobbies and friends, and all of that, although he was still somewhat lonely and a bit socially awkward. The only thing that made him different from an ordinary boy was that his father raised him to get used to the life of a gangster, and that he had not seen or heard from his mother since he left China.

At twenty-five his life was completely focused on the mafia, and you could say he was just any yakuza, except he was always looking for ways to leave that job and get one away from crime, and that's how he ended up as a simple security guard, not really leaving the life of crime yet but at least he didn't have to do anything but keep an eye on the doors.
