===Early History===
 
The world posed some remarkable challenges for the first settlers trying to colonize the world. The local lifeforms are virulent and dangerous, and those plants and animals imported from offworld were quickly consumed, killed by disease or otherwise destroyed by the local flora and fauna. It took years for scientists on the planet to find an opening that would allow imported lifeforms to survive, and by the thirty-first century the imported species had managed to gain a foothold on New Kyoto.<ref name=HSp169/>

New Kyoto was largely settled by Japanese expatriates, and the world became a major center of the Buddhist religion in the Lyran Commonwealth. It possesses the largest statue to Amida Buddha in the [[Inner Sphere]]: The statue is over 110 meters tall.<ref name=DA:RWp193/>

===Star League Era===
The industrial base on New Kyoto was initially only capable of supporting light industries, but during the era of the [[Star League]] New Kyoto was one of numerous worlds which saw increasingly large factory complexes appearing on the planet as a result of the Commonwealth's industrial base expanding.<ref name="HS(TLC)p37">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 37: "The Good Years"</ref> Among the more notable features of New Kyoto during the [[Star League era]] was [[Kyoto College]], an institute dedicated to the study of myomers for military and medical applications, and one of the most prestigious facilities of its kind during the era. A number of major Lyran military suppliers were also located on New Kyoto, including [[Doering Electronics]] and [[RAMTech Industries]].<ref name=DA:RWp193/>

During the [[Third Succession War]] New Kyoto became the site of the first military action performed for the Lyran Commonwealth by the mercenary unit [[Snord's Irregulars]]. After months of repairing and refitting from earlier losses, the Irregulars had been offered a chance to join the defense of New Kyoto against a Free Worlds League attack. [[Cranston Snord]] accepted the offer, both for the chance to fight against Free Worlds League forces but also because of a collection of artworks he had learned were hidden on the world. The Irregulars staged an unexpected combat drop on the city of Kirwanal, hoping to find the treasures they sought there; instead, they chanced upon an [[FWLM]] supply depot and wiped out the surprised defenders. Continuing their search for the lost artworks, the Irregulars followed a lead to the city of Shaval, where they stumbled across the New Kyoto command post of the FWLM forces, and wiped it out as well before moving into Shaval and holding it. Through their lucky surprise hits on critical elements of the Marik offensive the Irregulars routed the invaders in just over two months where an eight-month campaign had been anticipated by the Steiner command. The unit received personal congratulations from Katrina Steiner, and its officers were awarded the [[Commonwealth Medal of Honor]] with Oak Leaf Clusters. Cranston Snord also unearthed one of the hidden vaults containing the lost art objects of New Kyoto, and spirited them to the base on Clinton.<ref name=CSI3>''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', p. 3</ref>

By 3067 the [[Kyoto College]] located outside the city of Yonei on Kalasaka was at the forefront of research into myomer technologies used for both medical and military applications. Discoveries made by those studying or working at the College had led to a host of improvements and developments in a host of areas ranging from [[BattleMech]] and [[IndustrialMech]] design through to myomer-based personal armor for civil, military and governmental agencies. The College also offered a wide portfolio of programs in engineering and medicine that allowed for work experience and internships with technology and firms and hospitals throughout the Isle of Skye.<ref name="HB:HSp118">''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 118: "Kyoto College"</ref>
