'''A FATE'S TALE:'''

犯罪組織のボスの家に生まれたカオリと兄のヤマトは、
父の死後、セブンスムーンの運営を引き継ぐ運命に
あることをずっと自覚していた。彼らは何年もの間、
二頭体制で組織を運営し、利益と成功をもたらし、
アメリカへの進出も計画していた。

計画は単純だった。カオリは日本に残って国内を
統制し、ヤマトはアメリカに渡り国際的な拠点を
作るはずだった。兄妹にとって不運だったのは、
カオリが日本で指揮をとるという計画を快く
思わない部下たちがいたことだった。

反逆は迅速かつ暴力的だった。ヤマトが命を犠牲に
してカオリを守ったおかげで、カオリは一握りの
部下たちと共に日本からアメリカへ逃れることができた。

アメリカに到着したカオリとその一行を迎え入れたのは、
ヤマトを出迎えるはずの人物だった。その男は
日本人の名前には馴染みがなく、カオリのことを
「ヤマト」と呼んだ。カオリは間違いを正そうかと思ったが、
兄を記憶に留める最善の方法は、自分がヤマトの
名前を受け継ぎ、彼の夢をかなえることだと決意した。}}

{{Quotation||
'''A FATE'S TALE:'''

Born into a family of crime bosses, Kaori and her brother Yamato always knew they were destined to take over control of the Seventh Moon after their father's death. Together they ran the organization for years, bringing it profit and success, and even planning an expansion into America.

The plan was simple: Kaori would remain in Japan to control the country, while Yamato would travel to America to establish an international base. Unfortunately for the siblings, some of their subordinates were not happy about Kaori's plan to take command in Japan.

The rebellion was swift and violent. Yamato sacrificed his life to protect Kaori, and Kaori was saved by a handful of loyal members.

Together with her subordinates, she managed to escape from Japan to the United States. When Kaori and her group arrived in the United States, they were greeted by the man was supposed to greet the Yamato. He was not familiar with Japanese names and did not know Kaori.

"Yamato." Kaori thought about correcting his mistake, but...

She decided that the best way to remember her brother was to take on the Yamato name and make his dream come true.

== Trivia ==

* Yamato's design in the Early Development Build of ''[[Deadlock]]'' is temporary and based on an alien model from when the game was still called ''Neon Prime.''

* Yamato's current voicelines are not fluent Japanese and are actually a bit off in terms of word choice and pronunciation.
