As Yoshida Katashi and Yoshida (Nee: Beauchêne) Katsumi held a small bundle in their arms. They were in a VIP room in Wakkanai City General Hospital, on the Hokkaidai island (North Island).

"Katashi!" Katsumi said when the baby opened her eyes. Katashi looked at the baby and gasped too.

"That's not normal." Katashi said.

The doctor came in and took a look at what the commotion was all about.

"Heterochromia Iridus. . . Here's two possible causes to this. Either it is an eye disease or she was just born that way due to abnormal genetics." The doctor said.

"I'll have to check her for any eye disease." The doctor said as Katsumi handed her newborn child over. When the doctor was gone Katsumi turned towards Katashi.

"The public should not know about her. We made that mistake with Hideaki and he never was given a proper childhood with friends and everything. We'll keep her hidden, I'll ask my sister to babysit her without causing any controversy." Katashi said. Katsumi nodded.

They took care of Satomi at home and showered her with love.

When they couldn't give her the love needed they bought her a kitten.

She named her pet 'Dizzy' since the cat love chasing around her favorite ball of yarn or her favorite laser making everyone else dizzy

She named her pet 'Dizzy' since the cat love chasing around her favorite ball of yarn or her favorite laser making everyone else dizzy.

With all the love that Satomi showered 'Dizzy' with any other pet would be jealous. Dizzy always had nice soft beds to curl up in or a very nice scratch post or cat playground, but Dizzy prefer to curl up in Satomi's lap, the pet-owner bond was really strong in her early years.

But there were many theories that Satomi would grow up like Hideaki, her older brother, all visuals and acting, not athletics.

Soon after a few years Satomi was forgotten by the public.

At age 3, the whole family moved to Toyko, metropolitan area.

By age 5 Katashi wanted his daughter to be a little more active. He thought tennis wouldn't be a good sport to start too early, the muscles and bones are still developing and a five year old's arm and wrist was probably not strong enough to swing a racquet.

Katashi was proven wrong. When Katashi was practicing tennis once he had to bring Satomi, who also brought Dizzy along. He told her to watch from a side, but being a five year old she was rebellious. She took Dizzy and wandered off onto a court and got a tennis ball. At first she was just rolling the ball to Dizzy, but soon she got bored.

When Katashi couldn't find her sitting where he told her to he freak out. Soon enough he found her on a court on the opposite side, using all her arm strength and throwing balls at cans from 5 yards away while Dizzy was curled up at her feet.

He was about to call out to her when she threw the first ball, hit the can's bulls eye and made the can go flying.

'A five year old shouldn't have that much strength!' Katashi thought continue watching his daughter. She did the same for the other cans.
