Kya is half Japanese, quarter Irish and quarter Norwegian. Her father was an yakuza member who would travel between Japan and the States. While her father was in the States at one point, he met her mother in Texas. Kya's mother is mostly a European descendent, and was raised in Texas all her life.

Kya, being born in Texas, ended up following her friend, Avery, to Los Santos, but they quickly grew apart. While they have grown apart, and eventually have lost contact with each other, Kya found other means to survive.

Kya use to be a southsider in a gang called the "Santos". After a long life of living in the streets, under a constant looming threat of something happening to the ones she loved. Eventually she left that life far behind, and moved out of the southside with a few of her friends wanting to start a new life elsewhere in Los Santos. After moving there, some very close friends of her followed and are now living in Rockford. She is an experienced mechanic, and eventually worked herself up to be a manager at a mechanic shop. It has been a long hard path of trying to brush off the gang affiliation that she has had for years. After a lot of patience, drama, losing friends, gaining friends and finding out who the people she has met in her life, actually care for her and want to be in her life. She eventually found some true friends that she trusts with her life, and hopes they do the same in return...
