Keiichi-047

Keiichi-047 is a SPARTAN-II supersoldier of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. He served during the Harvest campaign in February 2531.

Conscription into the Spartan-II Program
Around July, 2517, Doctor Catherine Halsey and her team processed the one hundred fifty candidates of the Spartan-II program with Keiichi being one of them.

On September 10, 2517; Keiichi-047 was selected as part of the final seventy-five candidates for the Spartan-II program, where Doctor Catherine Halsey gave the order to the "Dumb" Artificial intelligence Déjà to give the order round them up. Several retrieval teams proceeded to kidnap and replace the children, including Keiichi, with Flash Clones, with the children placed into cryostatis and rushed straight to the planet Reach.

Training
Once awoken from cryostasis on Reach at the Reach Naval Officers Academy, shortly before 2300 hours on September 23, Keiichi and seventy-four other children were led into an amphitheater through four sets of double doors, each accompanied by a naval drill instructor. With Doctor Catherine Halsey, and Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez waiting for them on the stage. Halsey proceeded to tell the Spartans the truth about why they were taken and that they will be busy the following day.

Around 0530 hours on September 24, Keiichi and the other candidates were woken and were formally introduced to Chief Petty Officer Mendez and the rest of the instructors. The seventy-five candidates proceeded to go though their first day of training. Mendez and the instructors put the candidates through exercises, eventually taking them for a run around the campus taking them to the entrance of the Naval Academy.

At the end of the run the candidates were introduced to the Artificial Intelligence Déjà, who stated she will be the candidates teacher, and began to teach them for the day after they entered the building.

On September 28, 2517; the Spartans were given hair cuts.

On August 22, 2517; the Spartans were rerouted to a Special Forces camp on the other side of reach due to interested parties within the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Harvest Campaign
On February 4, 2531, near the end of the Harvest campaign, Keiichi aided Battle Group Phi of the during an engagement with a Covenant armored force near Harvest's northern pole. Keiichi charged the Covenant's position, killing several Sangheili and Unggoy with his AIE-486H machine gun. Upon reaching the Covenant's main line he hijacked a Wraith and used it against the remaining Covenant forces, quickly turning the tide of the skirmish in the UNSC's favor.

After the engagement he reported COM glitches due to the upgrades to his neural interface with Serina the Spirit of Fire's onboard artificial intelligence, in which she said she would prepare a sub-routine for Keiichi's next diagnostic.

Status
Around March 3, 2558, when a Catalog unit was looking into Keiichis status, he was listed as MIA.
