History

Kazuki was a contemporary of Amanda Hawk, and in a different world, the two might have forged a career together. As she put it herself once; if she'd had a hand in piecing the world's heart back together, he'd been one of the few who taught it to sing again. A fiercely passionate musician, his music found fertile ground in the golden years of Miracles before the discovery of the Pattern. When that was found, he shelved his focus on those things to take up the position of Secretary of State. Many among the World Congress questioned the judgement of placing a celebrity in that role, but there was more to the appointment than that. Amanda had spoken truly in naming Kazuki part of the world's music. With his help, she was able to bring it together, uniting humanity behind her in a way never before seen in human history. Even then, some doubted the effectiveness of simple moral unity, until the details of Purify were made public.

Stepping down at the end of the Hawk Presidency, Kazuki took a year off before returning to the music that he loved. The world had changed since his last performances, but the philosophies that underlay his music had only grown stronger. He made his return alongside several more recently popular acts, and here his experience in the State Department showed. Since then, he's started to coordinate performances on a system-wide level, helping up-and-coming groups access larger audiences, even performing alongside them sometimes as a supporting act. His passion is still music, but now he knows the full fragility of humanity, spelled out by the UPI report. He doesn't know if the circumstances that led to Purify can be replicated. But that's no reason not to try.
