Childhood
Born to Hiro and Fumi Ryu, Tachibana was a gifted child. At the young age of 4 he was already understanding the basics of spaceflight. Enrolling into a school for exceptional students at the age of 10. Tachibana during this time excelled in all fields. His teachers would describe him a student who had troubles with authority. Tachibana's parents during this time were killed in mysterious circumstances after Tachibana turned 14. Tachibana believed it was the school eliminating his family due to his strong family values and the inability to cut ties with them. Tachibana dropped out at 15 due to differences of opinions. Now an orphan and living on the street Tachibana roamed the underworld of Hapes. During that time he spent racing swoops and skirting the law.

During this time he excelled above his peers showing skill that no one his age should possess. Tachibana trained with the best of the best in all manners of combat. He further developed his flying skills in a multitude of ships. During a routine mission Tachibana lost power to the vessel he was piloting.
