History: Henry was born in Clairton PA, the oldest son to Stephanie and Michael Morita. His father, a second generation Japanese, works for a consulting firm, and his mother is a former sixth grade math teacher, currently getting her Masters in Special Education.

Growing up, Henry spent much of his time and interest on science and technology, eventually earning a place at a math and science high school. His parents always encouraged his passions by enrolling him in science and computer camps ever summer and buying him all the components to build his own computer when he was ten, a feat he was (mostly) able to complete on his own.

Henry never managed to be popular but thankfully never dealt with much torment by other students. He found close friendships with his brother Ben and his best friend Ryan, whom he bonded with upon moving to Seville, Ohio at age seven. He also had two romantic relationships, one in high school and one at college, but neither lasted long.

There is only one truly dark spot in Henry’s past; that of his brother’s suicide attempt at age fifteen. At the time Henry was home from college to assist his mother who’d recently had on ovarian cyst removed. Unbeknownst to Henry, this scare, combined with other factors (including a difficult breakup, and a trio of bullies at his school) had pushed his brother to the edge. Late one Saturday night in June, Ben hung himself on his closet door with a belt. From his bedroom next door Henry heard the thud of Ben’s head against the door and rushed to Ben’s room. The boy was unconscious and ashen, but showed a faint heartbeat. The family rushed Ben to the hospital with Henry nearly certain the teen’s worst injuries were bruising and soreness to the throat. When he prognosis came in that the extended lack of oxygen to the brain caused severe, permanent brain damage, he, unlike his parents, was completely blindsided. Since that time Henry grew closer to his brother, going home to spend every Saturday with him without fail.

Up until arriving in Toshima, Henry filled the rest of his time with studying, working, and making a side income as a jack-of-all trades with his computer services. Henry hates to be bored and loves to put his skills to use, so he’s almost always doing something to keep busy or help out.
