Quote:1. Early Life
In spite of Yoshimitsu McCloud's status as a regular player in a proper major league team, his entire life before the league as a whole is a mystery, only really known by himself and his family: even attempts by the Irish government to fully find out about the McClouds tend to end rather quickly with a sword lodged on a wall keeping up a piece of paper saying "Lay off", the most recent of these incursions being during his first season at the San Francisco Pride. The very few details that have been revealed to the rest of the world are as follows: Yoshimitsu McCloud is one of fifteen children sired by a couple of ninjas that fled Japan to Ireland somewhere in the late 80s to early 90s after a gung-ho operation against the Yakuza during an idol concert went incredibly wrong. According to Yoshimitsu in an interview with the Anaheim Analyst, his father took part in an underground tournament at Trim that would coincide with the Trim Massacre of 92 but that's unclear.

In the same interview, Yoshimitsu claimed that he decided to have a career after playing a hockey game on what he believes was a PlayStation.
