=== Background ===
Kinzo was born into a branch of the then-weakening Ushiromiya family in [[w:Odawara|Odawara]]. He spend most of his childhood in his hometown of Taiwan with his longtime friend [[Genji Ronoue]]. The Ushiromiya family elders appointed Kinzo as family head as a puppet in order to further their own agendas. Kinzo was forced to marry the daughter of an aristocratic family and fathered [[Krauss Ushiromiya|Krauss]], [[Eva Ushiromiya|Eva]], [[Rudolf Ushiromiya|Rudolf]], and [[Rosa Ushiromiya|Rosa]].
Kinzo enlisted himself in the military at the start of World War II and was stationed on the remote island of Rokkenjima. A group of Italian allies later arrived on the island and Kinzo was chosen by [[Minor characters in Umineko no Naku Koro ni#Lieutenant Yamamoto|Lieutenant Yamamoto]] to be the interpreter as Kinzo was the only Japanese soldier that could speak English. Kinzo bonded with the Italian interpreter, [[Beatrice Castiglioni]] and the two became close friends. During a conflict regarding the 10 tons of gold the Italians were storing on the island, Lieutenant Yamamoto decided to attack the Italians and steal the gold. The Japanese sneak attack failed and a fight broke out between both sides which ultimately ended with every soldier of both sides dying, save both Kinzo and Beatrice. The two escaped to the nearby island of [[w:Nii-jima|Niijima]] with a few of the gold bars which Kinzo used to revive the glory of the Ushiromiya family. It was on Nijima that Kinzo met [[Terumasa Nanjo]], the doctor who would treat Beatrice's wounds from the fight and later become one of Kinzo's closest friends.
