Biography
Early Life
KITA Ikki began his eLife in Kinki region of Japan, born and raised in Kyoto. As a boy, he enjoyed sitting along the 鴨川 (Kamo River) and watching the geisha cross the bridge into GION. He excelled in his studies, performed well in a military prep school, and decided to dedicate his life to serve the Emperor and eJapan. He devoted much of his time to military training outside of his classroom curriculum. After his compulsory schooling ended, he started doing odd jobs, mostly for various AKKU companies in the Akki Hermitson's Universe corporation. He worked for the William/OBK Japan companies until early June of 2009 and then started working for his current employer, Black Dragon Arms, the weapons factory of the Black Dragon Society.
Political Career
In March 2009, KITA Ikki joined the Imperial Sun Party. On March 22nd, 2009, he announced his candidacy for Congressman in Kinki region. His first campaign was a failure, but this did not deter him from staying active in politics, determined to make good his campaign promise to "rid Japan of rogue congressmen" who came simply to loot the treasury of the hard-working Japanese people.
On April 20th, 2009, at the request of Imperial Sun Party leadership, KITA Ikki left his home in Kyoto and moved to Tohoku region to run for congress. He won the April 25th, 2009 elections with the most votes received in the region to become the senior congressman. He was reelected in Tohoku to a second term on May 25th, 2009. On June 10th, Tohru, party president of the ISP, designated him as Vice President of the ISP, and he was re-elected to a third term on June 25th at the head of an Imperial Sun Party electoral victory that saw its congressional representation increase from three members to ten. In the July congressional elections, the Imperial Sun Party expanded its majority to 13 seats.
On July 22nd, 2009, President Kokawayoshi Makoto appointed KITA Ikki to Vice Secretary of Defense, along with Lauri Mursu, and Vice Secretary KITA Ikki began working on improving the performance of the military, most notably after witnessing training at a JIA facility in Kanto region: Building the Japanese Imperial Army
After the hotly contested August 2009 presidential elections, newly elected President Minamoto Yoritomo appointed KITA Ikki to Minister of Defense. Under the new leadership, the Ministry of Defense began immediately distributing weapons in concert with the ongoing wargames in Lithuania so that JIA soldiers could begin increasing rank more quickly. The new Minister of Defense also planned a reorganization of the JIA's chain-of-command to promote activity and accountability as well as make room for future JIA expansions to include the new immigrants from other countries.
Longtime Imperial Sun Party president Tohru announced her support of KITA Ikki as successor to the party leadership in early August, and on August 15th, 2009, Imperial Sun Party members elected KITA Ikki to Party President with 43 votes. His acceptance speech is available here: Imperial Sun Party Presidency Acceptance Speech
The new Godzilla Party, mostly refugees from devastated North Korea, took the most seats in congress with the Imperial Sun Party close behind. The two parties worked together, despite the obvious rivalry, to pass legislation funding the military, and on September 11th, 2009, KITA Ikki established the Japanese Imperial Navy, another military arm of the Japanese Ministry of Defense. Under his command, the military of Japan greatly expanded its influence and activities. Under his leadership, the Imperial Sun Party also returned to the strongest party in the Diet in the September and October congressional elections.
Military Service
On May 10-11th, 2009, KITA Ikki participated in the war games exercises with the Argentinian allies and was promoted after only eight fights to the rank of Corporal. From May 30th to June 7th, 2009, KITA Ikki deployed to Germany with the Japanese Imperial Army to help their ally in the fight against Poland and Sweden, seeing combat in Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. He was promoted on June 1st to the rank of 軍曹 (GUNSOU or sergeant) in only 22 fights. On June 7th, 2009 (Day 565 of the New World) in Saarland region of Germany, KITA Ikki received a battlefield commission to the rank of 中尉 (CHU-I or lieutenant) after 37 fights. While deployed, he witnessed torture in Swedish-occupied Germany, and New Society newspaper ran a narrative of his experience, available here: Report from the Front Lines in Germany.
On June 7th, the Japanese Imperial Army appointed KITA Ikki as Home Defense Force Fireteam Foxtrot Team Leader. On July 5th, he received a promotion to the rank of 大尉 (TAI-I or captain) after 84 fights. Training in the Lithuania-Latvia training exercises, KITA Ikki was promoted to 大佐 (TAI-SA or colonel) on August 7th after 142 fights. President Yoritomo Minamoto's decision to appoint KITA Ikki to Minister of Defense on August 5th moved KITA Ikki out of the JIA chain-of-command and to the top. It would not be long before his first major test came in the form of a hostile takeover by members of the totalitarian Theocracy movement. Although the end of the war resulted in the establishment of a Theocratic state in South Korea, the Theocrats with the help of fighters from Spain and Romania only successfully won two regions.
During the Theocratic War in South Korea, KITA Ikki fought in several South Korean regions, often fighting after using the hospital, sometimes nine times in a single day. Real combat against a relentless foe paid off, and shortly after the war ended, he was promoted to the rank of 少将 (SHOU-SHOU or General) on September 13th (Day 663 of the New World).
Media Achievements
New Society
On May 30th, 2009, (Day 566 of the New World), KITA Ikki established the newspaper 新社会 ("New Society") as a periodical designed to comment on all things Japan. Since August 15th, 2009, New Society has served as the official Imperial Sun Party newsletter. On October 29th, KITA Ikki transferred the New Society newspaper to the Imperial Sun Party organization so that future party presidents could use it to conduct official party business. The newspaper has published articles on diverse subjects:
- the political situation in Japan
- the establishment of a commission to oversee elections
- personal accounts of military deployments
- military affairs
- housing in Japan
Tabibito
After transferring the New Society to the Imperial Sun Party organization, KITA Ikki created a new newspaper called 旅人 ("TABIBITO"), which means "traveler," to focus more on his personal observations of cultural aspects of life in Japan rather than political. The newspaper has covered the following topics:
- Japanese residential architecture
- Totalitarian governments in east Asia (particularly Korea)
Japan Election Commission
On June 23rd, 2009, (Day 589 of the New World) KITA Ikki founded the Japan Election Commission, a non-partisan oversight commission designed to observe elections and discourage political take-overs (PTOs) and foreign candidates who come for elections and leave with the congressional gold, dubbing them "gold-diggers." After receiving some generous donations from concerned congressmen, Congressman KITA presented the Japanese Diet with a donation proposal on July 1st, 2009 (Day 589 of the New World) asking for government funding in order to purchase the moving tickets necessary to send voters out to defeat rogue candidates. July's congressional elections went very well for the JEC, defeating all but one of the rogue candidates and proving the worth of the JEC organization to the citizens of Japan.
On July 30th, 2009, an official request for applications for the position of Assistant Commissioner was presented to the public in order to prepare a successor for taking over the position of commissioner. On November 16th, 2009, the National Diet confirmed exReality as the new Commissioner of the JEC and KITA Ikki stepped down, declaring exReality "the right man to lead the noble organization."
