Kaoru Shiratori (白鳥かおる Shiratori Kaoru) was Kisara Nanjō's principal lieutenant who joined Shinpaku when she did where she is known for her long blond hair. She is a skilled practitioner of Taekwondo, but since she was ranked the same as Shinnosuke Tsuji was under Kisara during the Ragnarök arc, it is assumed that Shiratori was as just as strong as he was at that time.
Physical Appearance[]
Shiratori is actually a tall young woman with distinctively slightly wavy waist-length blonde hair that has a few hair strands hanging over her face, light purple eyes and a lean build.
She is typically seen wearing a white button-up shirt, dark pants, and a long blue coat that reaches down to just above her ankles. Due to her refined appearance and long hair, the lower-ranking members of the Shinpaku Alliance, not realizing Shiratori actually is a girl, initially insulted her feminine appearance, creating a tension in the air during the party they held to get to know each other. She is revealed to be a girl after she fought Kōzō Ukita. The members of the The Valkyries seem to have known that she was a girl from the start.
Personality[]
Shiratori is typically a very calm and reserved individual who rarely ever speaking unless directly addressed. She also seems to be self-conscious about her physical appearance and is usually seen dressed in fine clothing, even while she was a member of the street gang Ragnarök and has been shown lashing out at people for pointing out her somewhat feminine appearance.
Shiratori displays a tremendous amount of respect for her superiors, particularly Kisara Nanjō, and will do whatever she asks. This devotion to her extends beyond her team affiliation, as she was quick to follow her lead and join the Shinpaku Alliance, even working to get along with the group's lower-ranking members despite her noticeable dislike of them during their first meeting. She possesses a strong desire to be strong like Kisara and protect her, a goal which prompted her to take up Taekwondo as her primary martial art.
When several of the Shinpaku captains plan a double date, Shiratori decides to attend despite the fact that Kisara has already agreed to go with Ukita, prompting Miu Fūrinji to suggest a love triangle. This is later proved true during the date when Shiratori continually competes with Ukita for her attention.
Due to her appearance, several males would mistake her as a man due to her boy facial features till she decided to swim at a pool revealing she's a woman and with a lean figure. This appears to be a running gag on her part (albeit indirectly) such as when she was at the amusement park with the others, Ukita believed he saw her "doppelgänger" who looked just like "him" but as a woman, much to her embarrassment. Also, due to Ukita proving himself in his fight with her, Shiratori has now developed an affection towards him, going as far as to bashfully ask Takeda about what Ukita likes. She even tried to get his reaction to see her as a woman, but due to his oblivious nature, she kicked him in the face for believing her to be a male still.
Skills[]
As a former senior member of Ragnarök, Shiratori was ranked as a fairly capable fighter, although her skills pale in comparison to the captains of the Shinpaku Alliance. Like Kisara, she specializes in the same style of Tae Kwon Do and hopes to be like her one day. Despite, the fact she has rarely been shown in battle, she is strong enough to take on armed thugs with her bare hands, as shown when she protected Kisara during a group outing with several of their fellow Shinpaku members. She claims that in terms of raw power, Shiratori's kicks are even stronger than her own. After accepting a challenge from Ukita, she effortlessly destroys the Shinpaku Captain in a display that impresses even Miu. Kisara goes on to explain that the only reason Shiratori did not strive to become one of the Eight Fists in Ragnarök was because she lacked the interest.
