Personal History:
Kimi grew up listening to stories about her ancestor, and it was soon realized she was going to be just like her. Early in her life, Kimiko quickly started to show her adventurous side by taking up surfing, though normal for any young person growing up on the coast of California. But there was more to Kimi. She wanted to be a hero just like her namesake. Even though a Johnson had not served in the military for a couple generation, Kimiko was determined to join the marines and prove she was worthy of her name.

Being the only child of Akira and Melissa, they were first against Kimi joining the military. They wanted her to remain on Earth and continue the family business, Kimi's Surf Shop and Beach Café, something that had also been in the family for generations started by the original Kimiko after her retirement from the marines. But the young Kimi fought for her dreams of traveling the stars, and was relentless in her pursuits. Her parents agreed, but under the condition that she go to officer school. And when the time came, Kimiko entered West Point.

After graduation, Kimi received her first assignment as a marine officer on board the USS Glory. It was here she was given the call sign Mynx for being graceful and beautiful like a cat, but also quite dangerous. After receiving the name, Kimi had a tattoo of a wildcat put on her right shoulder blade, also similar in fashion to her ancestor's. After time, Kimiko proved her mettle as an officer and soon began to move up in the ranks. Not long after her promotion, she was reassigned her own marine command and transferred to the newly constructed USS Challenger.

Aside from Kimiko's basic combat and advanced marine training, she has been trained in starship tactical operations. She is also an accomplished pilot of smaller vessels such as shuttlecraft and marine fighters.
