Ukyo hails from a family born and raised within the confines of the winter-locked Tetsu no Kuni. While his mother was a stay-at-home mom, his father actively served as a samurai of the country. He wasn't particularly wealthy, but the man was a skilled samurai who wanted to eventually teach his son and pass his skills on to him. At a young age, Ukyo began to be taught the use of the sword.
At times, Ukyo was taken to Jōkaku where he watched his father and other train. Since he wasn't always able to participate, he was able to soak up everything he was seeing and practice from memory later on. Once he turned thirteen, Ukyo began to receive regular training from his father and other samurai. After three years of training at the age of sixteen, Ukyo was inducted into the Tetsu no Kuni military and acted as one of their samurai.
For many years, Ukyo's greatest skill was his speed with the blade. Because he was not as physically overpowering as some of his comrades, his style of swordsmanship focused mainly around speed and attacking on the draw. Amongst all the samurai serving in his generation, he is known for having one of the fastest, if not the fastest draw of the sword. His skill was such that in his later years of serving, and during the second Shinobi War, he was often tasked with hunting down Rōnin, the samurai equivalent of a rogue shinobi.
During his time in other lands, Ukyo encountered other shinobi, often alone, and was able to defeat his adversaries numerous times. Since he didn't make it a point to do battle with other shinobi, he is largely unknown in their countries, as is his skill with the sword.
Ukyo is now twenty-nine years old and still serving as a loyal swordsman under the current general, Genji.

Personality
Ukyo is a quiet man that keeps to himself most of the time. Even amongst his comrades, he does not speak much and is very good at keeping a low profile. Ukyo admittedly has problems expressing himself, something not often addressed because of the work he does within the Land of Iron. Though his personality may lead some to call him frail, Ukyo is a samurai if nothing else. As a warrior under Genji's command, he is sometimes tasked with hunting down former comrades, samurai that left and became ronin.
An analytical nature takes up the space left by his lack of social ability. Ukyo prefers to take in details as they come instead of rushing headlong into an attack, especially against an unknown opponent.
