Shiromi Torayoshi is one of the female students who currently attends Akademi and is the treasurer of the Student Council.

Appearance

Shiromi has short, white hair with 2 black clips on the left side. The right side of her bangs are much longer, reaching below her chin. Her eyes are black and "lifeless", with no irises. She is the only student to have this effect. Her bust size is 0.5.

She wears the Student Council uniform alongside the "Red Armband of Leadership" on her left arm, reading 生徒会 (seito kai), meaning Student Council written in kanji. She also wears a white scarf with a black tiger pattern and similar knee socks.

As of the April 17th, 2021 build, her hair model has been changed, as well as her scarf and socks. Her bow tie is now visibly sticking out from underneath her scarf. Her eyebrows are now also the same color as her hair.

Shiromi is the shortest member of the Student Council, however, it is not reflected in her character model. Shiromi is always seen smiling, even when witnessing a corpse, pepper spraying, or sending Ayano to the Counselor's Office. The only time she would not be seen smiling is if she is in an "extremely serious" situation, or if smiling would be inappropriate, such as a funeral. Outside of those events, she is either seen smiling subtly or obviously.

She originally wanted her hair short because It's too much of a hassle to do anything with long hair. Now she keeps it short because it's better that way for sporty activities.

Personality

Shiromi Torayoshi is the treasurer of the student council. She's a peculiar young woman whose intentions are never clear. She is known for smiling at almost every hour of the day, in every type of situation, which is unsettling to some students.
Shiromi is an enigma; very few students know anything about her. Just about the only thing that anyone knows for certain is that she is very eccentric, and takes pleasure in performing harmless pranks on other students.

— Description on Official Website.

Treasurer of the student council. A mysterious & enigmatic young woman. Known to be calm & relaxed at all times. Some students find her unsettling.

— Description from Info-chan.

Among the Personas that are currently implemented in the game, Shiromi is Dangerous. If she sees Ayano Aishi commit murder, she will run up, spray her with pepper spray, and restrain her. She will push Ayano away if she gets too close and will pepper spray her if she attempts to kill her without stealth or gets too close five times. She will break up fights between Ayano and a Delinquent by standing in between them and eating a chocolate bar. If Ayano aims her Phone at Shiromi, she'll stand still but will show no reaction. Intimidation will also not work on Shiromi if Ayano attempts to intimidate her after she has joined the delinquents. She is not affected by seduction as well.

Shiromi has an extremely eccentric and quirky personality, but she's also a rather smart person with a lot of unique skills only "true ninja" may possess, such as stealth actions, lockpicking, throwing objects with perfect accuracy, and so on. Shiromi also has sharp observations of others and knows how to find out someone's deepest secret, even if this secret had no witnesses and had happened years ago. If Shiromi weren't in the student council, she would be clubless and become a sort of "tame Info-chan", as they're the opposites of each other who use the same type of methods.

Due to her background, Shiromi perceives life as something that can be snatched away in the blink of an eye, and thus, pointless to value. At the same time, she feels attached to her own life as she's afraid to die without experiencing it to the fullest, despite considering being attached to it "foolish". Overall, Shiromi is rarely shown to have a strong emotional reaction to anything; she hasn't cried in 5 years and is the least susceptible to emotional manipulation. She would not take being bullied or even being fired from the student council seriously; however, in the latter case, she would be bummed out for a while, as she is fond of the other members.

Shiromi can *understand* what emotions other people must be feeling, but doesn't always feel compelled to react in a socially appropriate way. She likes pulling pranks on people and prefers playful replies over basic replies but also has a sense of responsibility and understands that she can't be a class clown as a member of the student council; she only does that when there's a good opportunity for her to crack a joke that the entire class, including the teacher, would laugh at it. The worst thing Shiromi has done was cause a fight between two people, as a distraction to snoop through the person's private belongings. Despite not taking life seriously, she's shown to have compassion towards other people and animals; she's willing to help those in need, including proactively trying to prevent bullying, and doesn't pull up actually cruel pranks or overstep people's boundaries. In terms of speech patterns, Shiromi doesn't use profanity, but would say something odd as an alternative to profanity when she is surprised or upset. She also picked up on a lot of English words to communicate with her instructors, and understand the signs in non-Japanese speaking countries.

Background

This section contains spoilers. You have been warned!

The reason why Shiromi is eccentric, along with the only person without shining eyes, was due to the fact she was involved in a near-fatal and traumatizing car crash during elementary school that changed her perspective of the world; the trauma caused by this event made the "light" in her eyes not reappearing again because of nearly losing her own life. As a result, she is "dead inside," which makes her eyes similar to a mindslave's. She says the life that she lives now is a bonus life that she isn't supposed to have. That she has "extra" time on earth and doesn't know how much longer she can live. 100 years or a few minutes, she "has no right" to complain if she dies. Rather, she uses this extra time to do many different experiences. Her last words would be "Oh, well."

Shiromi sustained some scars from the car accident, but they are mostly in areas covered by clothing, with any part of her skin not visible during gameplay being a potential spot for a scar. The accident left a small scar on her ear, though it has healed over time and is now nearly invisible unless closely examined. The incident occurred when Shiromi and her parents were in a car driven by her father, following a truck carrying metal rods. One of the rods came loose, piercing through the windshield and narrowly missing Shiromi's head, cutting her ear before exiting through the rear window. Just one second earlier, her head had been positioned exactly where the rod passed through—had she not moved, she would have been killed.

If Shiromi did want to live, her eyes would have life again. This would only occur if she started a family, which would prompt her to stay alive for her children; she would want children one day, but the earliest would be in her 20s. Her eyes could also come back to life if she saw the entire student council dead and saw the protagonist standing above the corpses. While her next action would depend on Ayano's actions, it wouldn't end well for the latter.

Shiromi learned her skills from her father, Shigeaki, who himself was taught by a ninja experienced with ninjutsu. As a child, Shigeaki made friends with a mysterious old man who had been playing a lot with him, but these games felt more like deliberate training than simple games. It turned out that the mysterious old man was from a family of ninjas who had been passing down the art of ninjutsu for centuries and used to work for the government during WW2. Shigeaki did not believe him at first when he had heard the story; however, the man had passed down the skills regardless. In turn, Shigeaki attempted to teach his daughter the same skills using the same methods; however, when Shiromi was six, she declined it, believing it was "cringe" to play with her parents, and Shigeaki didn't attempt to press her further. However, after the near-death accident that Shiromi experienced, she wanted to show her gratitude to her parents at any given moment, so she accepted her father's offer. Shiromi completed her training from her father, and as a result, she can craft smoke bombs, cause a distraction on the opposite side of the room, hide in any situation, and steal without being seen or caught. Certain people, if they knew about her skills, would describe her as "Japan's last true 'Ninja'". She keeps these smoke bombs underneath her uniform and is, in fact, wearing a harness with several pockets that each contain different tools and devices. She builds her smoke bombs herself. She was taught by her parents, who were passing knowledge from their ancestry, or YandereDev meant she watched a YouTube video about it.

Routine

At 7:00 AM, Shiromi leaves the Student Council Room and begins patrolling the exterior of the school, starting with the Plaza. She also patrols the Incinerator. The only club she patrols is the Gardening Club.

Shiromi patrolling near the Incinerator Area.

At 8:00 AM, Shiromi walks to Classroom 1-1, sits at her desk, and plays on her phone. She starts her morning classes at 8:30 AM and leaves to patrol the exterior at 1:00 PM.

She walks back to class at 1:22 PM, sits at her desk, and plays on her phone. Her afternoon classes start at 1:30 PM. At 3:30 PM, Shiromi resumes patrolling the exterior. At 4:00 PM, she heads to the Student Council Room and stays there until the end of the day.

On Fridays at 3:30 PM, Shiromi will go to the Meeting Room and meet up with the rest of the Student Council and all the club leaders to have a meeting.

If Shiromi is fired in Mission Mode, she will eat lunch in the Student Council room instead of patrolling the school, which enables the player to poison her. Furthermore, firing her allows the player to interact with Shiromi like any regular student.

Task

Please note that this task is only available by firing her through Info-chan's services in Mission Mode.

The topics Shiromi is Negative/Positive/Neutral towards are as follows:

Positive	Negative
Occult Memes Cats Justice Money	Cooking Science Gardening Violence Solitude

Miscellaneous

Outside game mechanics, Shiromi's preferences are the weirdest and quirkiest out of all possible options. The most notable include:

• Media: Shiromi was addicted to brainrot for a week. She then got tired of it, considered it cringe, and often pretended that her phase of being addicted to brainrot did not exist.
  • Shiromi prefers real-life experiences over virtual experiences, so she doesn't play games very often.
  • In Yandere Simulator's world, "Skibidi Toilet" doesn't exist, but "Sukubi Toilet" does. Shiromi did watch that meme.
  • Shiromi enjoys watching parodies, "so bad it's good" films, and extremely obscure films that are very hard to obtain.
• Hobbies and activities: Shiromi has done base jumping, wingsuit flying, cave diving, bungee jumping, paragliding, surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and scuba diving. She goes rock climbing without protective gear. Shiromi also loves roller coasters.
  • In fact, Shiromi once wanted to climb Everest. Then she researched it, learned that it's over-crowded by the abundance of people who want to climb it, and that the mountain is covered in all the junk of the people who climbed it previously. Now it just seems like an ego trip for rich people, rather than an exciting adventure, so she considered the other mountains instead.
  • Shiromi has also gone bowling at least once before and was good at it. If she hadn't gone bowling before, she would certainly want to try it.
• Food: Her favorite food is live squid. Her favorite vegetable is Romanesco, "purely because of how it looks." As she eats anything with a heartbeat, she usually eats water-dwelling food, although she has also eaten live coconut worms during a trip to Vietnam.
  • Pineapple on pizza is too boring for her. She is more interested in different pizza toppings such as crickets, durian, edible gold, coconut flakes, squid ink, frog legs, chocolate, mayo and peanut butter, marshmallows, gummy bears, and so on. She would also add anything to tea to make it more "fun", such as ketchup and mustard.
  • Shiromi has never regretted any weird food combo she tried, as she judges an experience based on how extreme it is and would enjoy extremely sour, salty, or bitter flavors just as much as sweet.
• Animal: Shiromi's favorite animal is the weird extinct creature called Hallucigenia.
• Music: She wants to listen to a new genre that is further away from mainstream music, such as experimental and avant-garde music: noise, drone, microtonal, glitch, math rock, etc.
• Color: Her favorite color doesn't have a name and can only be seen by the mantis shrimp. However, YandereDev later said her favorite color is white.
• Fashion: Shiromi likes to wear disguises, or whatever type of attire will facilitate her latest prank. She wears a penguin costume for her casual clothing when not in school.
  • For her "forced" cosplay, Shiromi would be Thanos.
• Collecting preferences: If Shiromi collected something, she would collect things that there is only one of in the world. Instead of "this is my collection of bottlecaps," it's more like "this is a one-of-a-kind bottlecap, it went with a special bottle that there was only one of; it doesn't match any other bottle in the world." "This is a pair of dice - but it's not from a line that was mass-produced. These dice were made by a prisoner who made them out of toilet paper and toothpaste so he could gamble even while in prison." etc.
• Her prized possession is something that holds value to her but not to anyone else, like a stuffed animal that Shiromi had since she was 5.
• Although Shiromi likes the topic of the occult, she only believes in 10% of the supernatural. She dislikes cooking because she isn't good at it and always burns anything she tries to cook, and she draws sometimes, but only silly little doodles, nothing serious.
• Shiromi generally never regrets anything.
• Shiromi is fine with taking public transportation, but will want a driver's license in the future.
• Shiromi would be the 3rd-best out of the student council at a debate of any kind, but only because she's not the worst.
• Shiromi commits small, "No victim" crimes that aren't immoral or harmful to anyone in order to do some of her activities/adventures. Trespassing being an example of those crimes.

Relationships

Despite these weird and odd quirks and traits of Shiromi, she is a friendly and positive person; however, her demonstrations of her unique skills often frighten people. It is very easy to get on Shiromi's good side, as she is an easygoing person. Despite this, it is often hard for any friend of Shiromi's to match her pace, because Shiromi always wants to do something extreme, and if anyone cannot match the pace she is at, she will refuse to slow down for them. She has few friends, purely because few people can keep up with her. If she wants to go snowboarding right now, all she has to do is get up and go. But if she wants to go snowboarding with friends, she has to coordinate her schedule with everyone else's schedule. She doesn't want to deal with that, so she usually does everything alone. Anytime she goes out and does an activity, she'll almost always make a new friend and add them on her favorite chat app, but she won't always be available to respond or hang out.

Shiromi doesn't care about what other people think of her; if someone called her boring, she'd just smirk and sarcastically agree with the person. However, she would apologize in a chill and casual way if she crossed a boundary or made someone upset.

Shiromi is smart and would instantly notice if someone tried to use her, and would not allow anyone to manipulate or use her.

Shiromi doesn't think about romance at all, but if she found someone similar to herself — similar vibes, similar desire to have a wide variety of different life experiences, there would be potential for her to develop feelings for that person. Overall, she has a fairly normal way of approaching romance; she would like to experience romance and love, however, she doesn't want to rush into a relationship and have a bad experience. She's not interested in proactively seeking out a romantic/intimate relationship with anyone and never thinks about this subject. Before her near-death experience, she would sometimes think that a boy is cute, but after that experience, she just stopped feeling physical attraction to anyone at all. In theory, she wouldn't exclude a woman, if the woman was a good enough fit for her. YandereDev describes her sexual orientation as either "unlabeled" or "aromantic and asexual until she meets The One".

If Shiromi had a boyfriend and he broke her heart, she would shrug and walk away, while not giving off any clue of how badly she was actually hurt inside.

Family

Main article: Shigeaki Torayoshi

Shiromi's eccentricities are from her parents, but they are not similar to hers and can be described as "down-to-earth." They do not have any extreme personality traits, as they are closer to being average, normal people than "most of the game's characters."

The majority of Shiromi's skills come from her father, who learned his skills from an old man whose family was involved in espionage for centuries. Shiromi shows her appreciation and gratitude to her parents at any given chance. Her parents humor her "shenanigans" such as illegally keeping an endangered Bengal tiger. Shiromi also tells jokes around her parents, but she knows the difference between a situation when it is okay to provide a joke, and a situation to provide a sincere answer. From age 13 onwards, while not attending school, she would go on a family trip to another country. YandereDev mentioned that Shiromi loves her parents and their relationship is "normal" and loving between one another. Additionally, she's slightly closer to her dad, but loves both of her parents a lot.

Student Council Members

Although they feel cautious about Shiromi due to her unpredictable nature, they acknowledge that she has high knowledge in specific skills that make her a valued asset in the student council. Shiromi is aware that the other council members don't see her as a friend, but she doesn't care, she likes them anyway.

• Megami Saikou: Megami had learned of Shiromi before meeting her when she was reviewing Saikou Corp's potential scholarship candidates list. While Megami and Shiromi did not spend enough time together to become acquainted, each time Megami interacted with Shiromi, the latter would prove to Megami that she possessed traits that would make her valuable to the student council.
  • Shiromi gained a scholarship at Akademi for specific traits that have been said to be a secret. She also became a student council member on the same day that the school year began.
  • One of Shiromi's bad days involved Megami, as the latter gave out her news that she had to leave school due to "family business".
• Kuroko Kamenaga: Shiromi once made a statement claiming that she could unravel anyone's secret, which caused Kuroko to make a snide remark about it, telling her that she shouldn't brag about something she cannot do. Some time later, Shiromi made a remark hinting towards Kuroko's darkest secret — as a little girl, Kuroko had accidentally killed her best friend's dog by feeding it human food, and out of shame, buried it deep in the woods, telling her friend that the dog had run away. When Kuroko brushed this off as a random offhand remark, Shiromi directly looked at Kuroko and smiled, "Woof". This would send chills down Kuroko's spine after she realizes that it wasn't a coincidence. Shiromi then yawned, made up an excuse to be somewhere, and left the room. The subject wouldn't be brought up again. Additionally, Kuroko also thinks of Shiromi as a weirdo.
• Akane Toriyasu: Akane is the only person that Shiromi does not prank. This is because the latter knows Akane's true personality and nature, and does not want to anger her. Besides, Shiromi also acknowledges that Akane can be a useful "tool" to solve problems. Shiromi tries to tease Akane, but it is impossible. Akane is too composed and dignified to be teased. She will sometimes have a witty response, but she will never fall for Shiromi's teasing.
• Aoi Ryugoku: If she were to date one of the Student Council, she would date Aoi due to her vulnerability to teasing. As for her favourite council member, she likes all of them, but she enjoys teasing Aoi the most, so Aoi. Shiromi might challenge Aoi for a race, but Aoi would decline. Aoi would win, though. Although Shiromi doesn't prank Aoi with flirt.

Others

• Unknown Friend Group: In high school, Shiromi had a friend group that she was involved in. She doesn't really stay in touch with this friend group, because they weren't very interested in outdoorsy / sporty activities, and she is.
• Info-chan: Info-chan would pay a lot of money for "dirt" on her. Shiromi, in turn, knows for a fact that Info-chan exists. The hypothetical dialogue for meeting Info-chan heavily implied to be her, also suggests Shiromi has met Info-chan before. She may have requested Info-chan's help acquiring the materials necessary to build smoke bombs, since Shiromi does canonically have smoke bombs.
• Ayano Aishi: Shiromi and Oka Ruto would also be among the few people who know of Ayano's true nature over time. According to YandereDev, Shiromi thinks that Ayano seems to not have any friends, and would like to be her friend. Yandev considered that they're polar opposites.
• Gardening Club: The club thinks that Shiromi is creepy, except for Uekiya.
  • Uekiya Engeika: Uekiya thinks that Shiromi is a sweetheart for checking up on her from time to time to make sure that she's alright. Otherwise, Shiromi thinks that Uekiya seems like a sweetheart.
• Kaga Kusha: Shiromi wouldn't be bothered by him at all.
• Maka Tansei: The two of them are probably the most eccentric students in school. But, even though they both have quirky personalities, they don't really have a meaningful, significant, noteworthy relationship with one another. They do think of each other as interesting though.
• The Yakuza: In a situation where the Yakuza had some sort of conflict with Shiromi, she would be able to weasel her way out of it somehow, but if they kept coming for her, they'd eventually get her. They'd probably be impressed with how slippery and conniving she is, but even if they offered her a place in their organization, she probably wouldn't be able to comply; she would prefer to use her talents to benefit people rather than harm people.
• A 1989 Student Council member that Shiromi would not get along with is Reiichi Tanaami, since he takes everything professionally and seriously, and she is the opposite of that.

Trivia

• Shiromi was implemented in the December 18th, 2017 Build.
• When YandereDev was asked what inspired him to create Shiromi, he said it was a desire to "make it more fun and interesting to answer questions" involving the student council. He says that the goal is to answer any question related to the Student Council girls by taking the first three girls as seriously as possible, then giving wacky answers for Shiromi.
  • He initially gave answers related to Shiromi for shock value, and this established the tradition of giving odd and weird answers to any question about her.
• She is based on one of the Four Symbols of Chinese myths, namely "White Tiger" (白虎, read as Byakko).
  • Her first name may consist of the same kanji as in White Tiger's Japanese name (白, read as Shiro), which means "white", or of alternative kanji (皓, also read as Shiro), which means "clear white", together with kanji 美 (read as Mi), which means "beauty". Her last name may also consist of the same kanji as in White Tiger's Japanese name (虎, read as Tora) which means "Tiger", or of another kanji for the word "tiger" (寅, also read as Tora), together with kanji 由 (read as Yoshi) which means "reason" or kanji 良 (also read as Yoshi) which means "good".
  • YandereDev considered naming her Shirotora Moriya.
• Shiromi's last name is from her father.
• She is not inspired by Kokichi Oma from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.
• She is YandereDev's favorite student council member.
• Shiromi feels that if she were ever to use a type of substance to alter her mind, the experience she gets from the substance wouldn't be real to her. She thinks using a substance would be cheating, as it may change the way that the brain perceives things. As such, she doesn't have much interest in illicit substances or experimenting with them. However, she is interested in Ayahuasca, which is a psychoactive beverage from South America.
• The creepiest thing she's ever done is know too much about a situation.
  • The weirdest thing the student council members have caught Shiromi doing is when they walked into the student council room to find her holding a baby panda. Before she took this panda, some unnamed criminals stole the baby and were planning to smuggle it to another country, finally selling it on the black market. Through "sheer" coincidence, Shiromi overheard the criminals discussing the panda while they were transporting it. With a small opportunity, Shiromi used her unique skills to steal the panda successfully. Shiromi had originally intended to return the panda to the zoo; however, she heard rumors about that specific zoo mistreating its animals, so she decided to keep the panda as a pet and give it a better life than what it would've had in it zoo.
• If Shiromi had never become a council member, she would probably offer "spying" services and a few other miscellaneous services that her talents are suited for. Nothing too immoral (like stealing), but maybe stuff that borders on being unethical (like sneaking into someone's house at night to retrieve something that was stolen from someone else).
• Shiromi's IQ would be "above average" but not genius level.
• Shiromi doesn't have the same level of awareness as Midori, but she might have looked at the world and thought that some things don't make sense; it's almost as if the world she lives in were designed for the purpose of being a video game setting. So, if she learned that she was in a video game, her reaction would be nodding her head knowingly as her hypothesis is confirmed.
• Some of the countries she had visited include: New Zealand for bungee jumping, skydiving, whitewater rafting, canyon swinging, and heli-skiing, Nepal for mountaineering, trekking, and paragliding, Dubai for sandboarding, South Africa for sharkcage gliding and ziplining, Iceland for ice climbing, volcano hikes, cavediving, and snowmobiling, Switzerland for wingsuit flying, and America "for this one airplane class that lets minors fly an airplane." Shiromi did visit Vietnam, but it was mostly to sightsee and not for the usual reason (extreme sports), and she spent very little time in that region. She didn't learn the languages of these countries besides the bare minimum tourist phrases.
• If Shiromi were to get jump scared, she would start laughing and clapping when it happens.
• Shiromi is one of the only people in Akademi who would be able to find out about Info-chan's identity (the other person being Megami).
• Shiromi would be genuinely happy to be gifted Lego flowers, and would immediately deconstruct the Lego flowers and use the parts to build a dinosaur or something. Gifting her something like Lego flowers would also be a kind of gesture that could make progress towards winning her heart.
