Prelude
A Look Back
A decade ago, six year old Hirayama Gintoki disappeared without a trace in the middle of a public park in Tokyo, Japan. Approximately two and half days later, an adolescent male arrived at the Hirayama residence, claiming to be there son. One DNA test later proved his claim to be true. Reporters clambered to get the exclusive story of the Time Traveling Boy but he had no comment to give.
Gintoki went on to live a normal life after the hype died down. A full medical and mental examine revealed nothing except for him being healthy and sane young man. He proved to be of sufficient intelligence to not stay in the first grade and went on to pass the high school entry exam with near perfect marks. Still, he pulled away from society and his parents found notebooks, upon notebooks and his bedroom walls lined with strange symbols, like another language; like a man possessed, he continued writing. They thought he had gone insane. That was until he went on to graduate with the highest GPA of his class. His clear lack and avoidance of extracurricular activities forced him to decline valedictorian, not that he wanted it anyway.
Soon after his graduation, he started DATS, Digitally Advanced Technological Solutions from his own bedroom. His technology and ideas seemed to be from another world. He brought Japan into the future, revolutionizing telecommunication with his cellular network and smartphone, the D-Cell. It went on to become the most wanted mobile device in history. He was light years ahead of his competitors and it showed. This, once again, put Gintoki in the spotlight as a self made, reclusive, billionaire genius.
You may be asking, what does all of this have to do with this story? On the decennial of the incident, men in black suits in black limousines show up on the door steps of special individuals at the exact time Gintoki disappeared. They promise a meeting with the man himself, an interview and a new, top of the line D-Cell.
