=== Background ===
Kinzo was born into a branch of the then-weakening Ushiromiya family. 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 [[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 [[Nijima]] 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.
During Kinzo's glory days as the wealthy Ushiromiya head, Kinzo had an affair with Beatrice and fathered [[Beatrice Ushiromiya|a child]]. Beatrice died during childbirth, causing Kinzo to fall into madness and invest himself almost exclusively in the dark arts in an attempt to revive her. His illegitimate child grew to resemble heavily his dead lover and Kinzo, in his madness, believed her to be the reincarnation of Beatrice herself. He forced himself on her and eventually fathered [[Sayo Yasuda|another child]].
In
In the [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni Timeline (Miracle fragment)|miracle fragment]], Natsuhi embraces the child as her own. The child instead grows into [[Lion Ushiromiya]], successor to the Ushiromiya family head.
Years later, Kinzo noticed a scar on [[Shannon|Shannon's]] foot where a sixth toe would have been. Kinzo begins to suspect Shannon to be his long lost child. As he fell further ill, Kinzo created [[the witch's epitaph]] in hopes that his child would reveal themselves to him. Sayo manages to solve the riddle on the epitaph and Kinzo finally learns the truth about his child. Before his death, he revealed that Sayo's birth name was [[Lion Ushiromiya|Lion]]. After his death, Krauss, Natsuhi, Genji, Sayo, Doctor Nanjo, and [[Chiyo Kumasawa]] maintained the illusion that Kinzo was alive.
