Katsuo Ochi was born in Japan. He emigrated to America knowing that his lifestyle would not be well accepted by his family. He doesn't go by his given name and instead prefers to be called Princess.

Princess is something of a drag queen. He would prefer to say he's gender-fluid. He'll wear girl clothes or boy clothes, wigs and makeup, whatever suits his whimsy. He worked at a restaurant while attempting a modeling career (without much success). Finally he bought a bike and became a bike messenger, a job he actually kind of enjoys.

He used to live with other drag queens (J.P. Mystic and Sister), however J.P. died in a tragic accident and Sister moved in with her boyfriend, Tony (which I wonder about). His cousin Kim moved in to fill that void after giving him an ultimatum to return to Japan and get married or get cut out of the family fortune.

Princess who was dating Michael Volkova at the time (and still is) opted to stay and be cut out even though his mother was dying and he'd never be able to see her again. It was a hard decision, but Princess is happy that he stayed.

He's gotten used to living with Kim, Dennis and baby Mariko, though he's been thinking about moving into an apartment for just him and Michael. His conscience won't let him since Dennis and Kim can't really afford the apartment on their own.
