Yoshiko Sulu

Yoshiko Sulu was a woman who lived during the 23rd and 24th centuries.

She was born Yoshiko Nakamura in Bakersfield, California in 2204. Her parents were Starfleet officers, although she made it clear to them that she did not want to follow in their footsteps. She decided to go into medicine and become a Doctor. She underwent eight years of medical school and graduated in 2216. She started a practice in San Francisco. During one night in 2230, she and her friends decided to eat at a restaurant named Sulu's Sushi. While there, a busboy named Hosato Sulu spilled a drink on her by accident. The two later went out on a date and fell in love. They married in 2232. While married, the two concieved a son, Hikaru, in 2237. Yoshiko did not support her son's passion for space exploration, as she found it to be too dangerous an occupation for him. She tried to get him to work at the family's restaurant or become a Doctor like her and work at her practice, but Hikaru refused and joined Starfleet in 2255. She and her husband later became proud of her son when he became helmsman of the USS Enterprise. Yoshiko was still involved with her medical practice until her death in 2327 of natural causes.
