Personality
Spirit is a traditional, conservative Japanese man. He believes in the old ways, and is loyal to his traditional, conservative beliefs. Above that, though, he is a consummate professional, and duty to his profession is his life, no matter who we happens to work for now.
Backstory
When you deal with the Devil, the Devil don't change...
Spirit grew up like any Renraku citizen, he went to the proper schools, earned the proper degrees, and at the end of it all he got a proper job. Unlike his peers, though, he was selected to be part of the acquisitions division of Renraku. This meant many things to the then-young man, first and foremost it meant that he no longer had a family, friends, a life, or even a SiN. He worked long, hard hours, even by wage-slave measurements. He didn't get a day off, sleep was that bit of unconsciousness between the final test of the day and the first test of the next day. He learned much in that year, but the most important thing that he learned was that no matter what, his failures would embarrass the entirety of Renraku, the company he owed everything to. With that motivation he trained diligently, and with ambition.
When the training was finally over a year later, Spirit gained an identity, and a job. Hideo Ishikawa landed in mainland Japan, bright-eyed and full of vigor, only to learn that all of his training was not going to be put to use. He was a report-maker, a paper pusher, and a gopher. Dismayed at first, Hideo soon realized that he was in charge of a large amount of information, so much so that it was nearly impossible to keep track of it all. He set to learning everything he could about the operations that surrounded him vicariously, by piecing together details from the volumes of reports he processed daily. This became his life, seemingly the master of his own small world, intimately familiar with the comings and goings of everything he touched.
Two years later, his chance to work in the field came. He was to be part of a B&E team that was tasked with testing the internal security of a new facility. One of the youngest on the team, Hideo performed admirably, using front-door infiltration to get to his designated location five minutes before the rest of the team. His pride swelled at the end of the exercise, he had done so well that he was to be sent to the Seattle Arcology to ensure certain pieces of data were recovered. His team, in the end, was not sent, as the Corporate Court had spoken on the issue. Undeterred, Hideo volunteered himself for any field operation that may or may not be going on. His request was granted.
Thus began ten years of faithful service to Renraku. He was sent across the globe, Manhattan, Seattle, Denver, Hong Kong, Neo-Tokyo, Tir-NaNog, and more. He learned the value of a well-placed bullet, the virtue of patience, and that Shadowrunners had a penchant for making things difficult. He did all this honorably and unquestionably loyal to Renraku. He had seen the dark side of the Megacorp, and he had seen the dark side of others. It always seemed, to him, that his employer was simply playing by the rules to ensure an even ground with it's competitors. And even if his employer was less than what he believed them to be, he was paid well, lived is a respectable apartment, and was able to live his life properly because of the opportunity afforded to him.
That all ended about six months ago. The acquisitions division's budget had been cut, and Hideo's position had been deemed "Unnecessary". Hideo was stunned. All of his friendships and contacts within the company. His entire life, was ended the moment his 'boss' somberly handed him the papers. In hindsight, he found it amusing. Everything within the company was done digitally, except for termination. There was just something permanent about dead-tree media that a text file could never convey.
"We regret to inform you, Ishikawa-san, that your position within the company has been found to be unnecessary. You will be given two months allowance, and your data trail will continue to be purged in accordance to internal policy 9024b Subsection U. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors."
And so he moved to Neo-Tokyo. He found freelance work with the many security consulting firms, and also did a few jobs for a former Imperial Marine that called himself Tinman. Still personally shattered by his termination, Spirit resolved to continue on. No matter what, he was a professional. And professionals get the job done.
