Biography[]
Yoshito Chûjô was a young man who lived in the town of Karuizawa in the Kitasaku District of Nagano Prefecture during the early 2000s. He was a member of the Japanese Xenomorph Self-Defense Force and worked as part of the ground crew for the Mecha-G Project. Yoshi had a deep love for aircraft of any kind, particularly those of Japanese design.
In 2003, Yoshi was taking some vacation time at his uncle's house when he was shocked by the unexpected appearance of two miniature fairies - the Shobijin. The Shobijin were there to beseech Yoshito's uncle to convince the Japanese government to cease using the MechaGodzilla defense robot as it's structure was built from the bones of the original Godzilla. They believed that the spirits of the dead were not to be touched by human hands and that this represented an effrontery to the Shobijin's guardian, Mothra. Yoshi exclaimed that without MechaGodzilla, Japan would be defenseless. The Shobijin assured Yoshi and his uncle that if MechaGodzilla were dismantled, then Mothra would serve as Japan's guardian in its place.
