59: history

Gokudera is an Italian and a bit Japanese (1/4 from his mother). He has an older sister named Bianchi. Actually they are half siblings, born by different mothers. The truth is, he is an illegitimate child, and Bianchi’s mother was married to Gokudera’s father. But when his father saw Gokudera’s mother he immediately fell in love with her. She was beautiful young women and a very good pianist. Soon after, they have a romantic affair and later she got pregnant as a result, Gokudera was born. Sadly he was introduced as the son of Gokudera’s father from Bianchi’s mother because there is a strict law in mafia where child outside of marriage are not accepted.

Due to this he can only see his mother three times a year. But when he was three years old his mother got in a car accident. Her car fell down the cliffs that instantly killed her. There are also rumors that it was a suicide but the fact she even brought young Gokudera a gift making the theory unlikely. Later, it was revealed that it was his father who ordered to kill her. He only find out the truth when he was eight years old after hearing the servants talking about it, upon learning about his mother’s death, he runaway from home.

He is a fantastic pianist. Every time he has a piano recital his father insists him of eating Bianchi’s home made cookie. But whenever he ate it, he got a severe stomach ache making him play the piano oddly. But surprisingly the listeners find his piano recital very artistic and original. After some time he got a trauma (he will have stomach ache then fall unconscious) just by mere seeing his older sister’s face. The only time he can withstand it is when Bianchi wearing anything that hides her face such as goggles.

And because of this trauma, Gokudera lost his interest on playing the piano and he decided to join the mafia but unfortunately he was rejected. He was stereotyped as a plain pianist and the fact he isn’t pure Italian made it more difficult. So in order to get their approval, he decided to seek help from Dr. Shamal (Trident Shamal) a talented hitman, who also currently works for his family. Shamal uses Trident Mosquito as a weapon and Gokudera was fascinated on it that he insists on teaching him. But instead, he taught him how to use dynamites which eventually choose it as his weapons. But during his training with dynamites, he injured himself. Because of this, Shamal refused on teaching Gokudera, as he didn’t give importance to his safety, thus his very own life.

Later, he went to Japan to fight the candidate for Vongola’s Tenth boss, Tsunayoshi Sawada to get his position. But Tsuna managed to defeat his dynamites and even saved his life. After that incident Gokudera vowed his loyalty to Tsuna and refer himself as his right hand man. He is now Tsuna’s Storm Guardian.
