Shō Kitana

Shō Kitana (Newhaven, March 2, 1941) is a Lovian politician and activist. His parents migrated from Japan to Lovia when tensions in the Pacific started to rise. Shō Kitana was educated as a biologist at the Blackburn University, where he graduated in 1964. Currently, Kitana-san is retired from his job as a biologist but he remains active as president of the Kitana Wildlife Foundation and an informer of the green political movement in general.

Shō Kitana's name is officially spelled in the Latin alphabet, and has the default structure of the Western naming system: the given name is put in front of the family name, in opposition to the Japanese naming system that places the given name after the inherited name. Although Kitana himself keeps to the official order he has been noted to comment that the Western naming system cultivates a higher sense of individuality. Whether Kitana thinks this is a positive thing or not is unknown.

Biography
