Kuto was born in Colombia and raised in the slums. He never knew his father and his mother died when he was very young. Kuto was left to fend for himself and quickly learned how to survive on the streets. He developed a tough exterior and began to view the world with disdain.
As Kuto grew older, he began to realize that he had a unique talent for picking pockets. He could steal anything from anyone without them even realizing it. This became his livelihood and allowed him to provide for himself, albeit barely.
One day, while Kuto was stealing from a rich man, he was caught red-handed by the man's bodyguard. The bodyguard grabbed Kuto by the throat and lifted him off of his feet. Kuto thought for sure that he was going to die right then and there but instead, the bodyguard just laughed at him before throwing him back onto the ground.
The incident made Kuto realize that if he wanted to survive in this world, he needed to be tougher than everyone else around him. From that day forward, he vowed to never be caught again...
