Bio
Hiroshi was born in Abeta in 1912. In 1920, he moved to New Salta as a child. He joined the Sentanese Army in 1931 after spending two years at the military academy. He rose up the ranks until he became an general in 1938.
In 1940, he was purged from the Sentanese Army after the elite of the army found out he attempted to transform Sentan into the republic. He then led around 200 people to the north-east of Sentan's southern island, where they settle Eirabourne and established the Kadsreius Sentanese Republic.
In 1950, Kayos and his forces invaded most of Sentanese Empire's three of four main islands of the Sentanese Empire and Vicnoran Kingdom's land, leading to the Eight-Day War, although he never planned the invasion of Sentanese Empire's capital, Fusa.
With the help of Mahri, Kayos led KSR to victory, and resulted in the creation of the Republic of El Kadsre and New Salta was renamed to El Kadsre City.
Kayos then led East El Kadsre up until his overthrowing by the West El Kadsreian army.
During the Vlokozu Union era, Kayos spent most of his time running a hotel in Lincoln Island, named the Kayos Inn. He was also a member of Michael Vlokozu's inner circle prior to Michael's death. Michael stated Kayos had become "A mostly-respected man who wishes to run his hotel in the Ikedas and advise me on my wrongdoings in peace."
On October 22, 2001, Kayos died peacefully after the brief illness.
Beliefs and ideology
Kayos was an nationalist. During his military career, he attempted to transition Sentan from the imperialist territory into the democratic republic.
Kayos hated monarchy and imperialism as he called it "obsolete and pointless" and he hated communism because he believed that communists "wanted to destroy the world with its totalitarian dictatorships and lack of freedom". Later on in his life, he was more soft-spoken on subjects such as the British monarchy and the Communist government of China.
Kayos believed that the British Empire existed and recognized Australia, West El Kadsre, India, New Zealand, Malaysia, South Africa and Canada as British puppet states.
Kayos was a supporter of civil rights, believing that racism is a world problem and he outlawed white supremacy and any use of racial slurs. In 1964, he said in the speech regarding the civil rights movement in the United States, "Nobody is deserved to be criticized by the color of their skin. No matter where they come from, they're allowed to come to El Kadsre anytime they want because we're free from racism.".
Legacy
Michael Vlokozu took some elements of Kayosism for use in Vlokism.
Kayos is a national hero in El Kadsre.
Andrew Kayos, his eldest son, portrayed him in the 2002 documentary comedy film Vlokozu.
