Profile

A quiet and introspective student at Yasogami High School in Inaba, Shirou Sekigawa is the fourth of four brothers in the Sekigawa family. As a child his parents passed him over for the other sons, and as a result he grew up alone and without many friends, except his uncle who sent him souvenirs from all over the world. This instilled a desire to see the world in Shirou... one that he hasn't realized as yet. He used to withdrawn from a lot of things that he should be interested in at his age, formerly burying himself in his school work, eagerly reading about different countries, and especially their mythologies. He's also become enamored with the idea of becoming a doctor, learning everything he can now about human anatomy. Recent events have forced a change in perspective, and also an admittance from the boy the man that raised him wasn't his real father, but rather he was the result of an illegitimate union between his mother Midori and an American. But rather then dwell on this, he's realized that this was the reason for his treatment as a child. This has unlocked a lot of the fear that has caged him, but he's still struggling to come up with the willpower to completely free himself from his old ways. But now that he has friends, and a cause to fight for in the KDA, the world is at his feet.

Noticeable Social Links

0 - THE FOOL:

• Souji Seta: The 'Boss' or Seta-senpai and someone he's talked to a few times now. Shirou's gearing up to try and make him take his ideas seriously, and prove his worth to the Investigation Team.

• Tohru Adachi: Inaba detective, and someone Shirou's talked to on and off again. Shown a lot of concern for the boy, and he took it easy on Fumiya, so he's okay in his book.

I - THE MAGICIAN:

• Yosuke Hanamaru: Fellow member of the KDA. Kind of a moron, but way better at trolling. Always refers to him respectfully as Hanamaru-senpai.

• Shiki Ichimonji: His own personal Rival. Has no aim, but he won't hold that against him.

II - THE HIGH PRIESTESS:

• Yukiko Amagi: Amagi-senpai. Tried to get a restful weekend for the KDA going at the Inn, but it kind of fell through.

III - THE EMPRESS:

• Shirou has no noticeable Empress links.

IV - THE EMPEROR:

• Shirou has no noticeable Emperor links.

V - THE HIEROPHANT:

• Mae Ikina: Former crush. Tried to help her tract down Lucas Xavier, but that too fell through. Hadn't seen her in weeks, and has been talking to her recently. Is determined to help 'save' her.

VI - THE LOVERS:

• Shirou has no noticeable Lovers links.

VII - THE CHARIOT:

• Fumiya Watanabe: One of his best male friends. Usually just referred to as 'Fumiya' or 'That Idiot'. Tried his best to keep Fumiya out of the TV and all the general WTFery, and of course that failed. Helped to get him back /out/ of the TV, and it was his first rescue mission.

• Chie Satonaka: Satonaka-senpai. Shirou has a tiny crush on her, but he'd never voice it. She's tough and spunky and living under someone else's shadow, something he's used to.

VIII - JUSTICE:

• Nanako Doujima: Nanako Dojima is Souji's cousin, but is referred to as his little sister. She's also the daughter of the police detective Ryotaro Dojima, so a big part of working with Souji involves making sure Nanako is safe from the supernatural things. She's gotten in trouble a few times by interfering in things that she shouldn't have been in the area with, and as such, has seen Shirous' darker side. She still seems to like him though.

• Ichiya Chigiri: His counter-balance; instantly recognized his resonance as a mirror of his own in Junes. First was on edge because of it, but after finding out that he's been fighting against That Bastard Kandori, he's trying to keep him as a friend.

IX - THE HERMIT:

• Shirou has no noticeable Hermit links.

X - THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE:

• Koichi Nakano: Another friend, and the other kid he was thrown into the TV with. That tends to make you friends no matter what. Has been talking to him before and after the events, but his own obsession with fighting Kandori is hurting that.

XI - STRENGTH:

• Kenji Kurosawa: The street samurai himself. One of Shirou's first real friends, he tried to nurture Shirou's hidden hot-bloodedness. Has lost touch with him.

XII - THE HANGED MAN:

• Shirou has no noticeable Hanged Man links.

XIII - DEATH:

• Shirou has no noticeable Death links.

XVI - TEMPERANCE:

• Shirou has no noticeable Temperance links.

XV - THE DEVIL:

• Shirou has no noticeable Devil links.

XVI - THE TOWER:

• Thora Kobayashi: Intimate Rank relationship. Was originally rather hated her, as she was a threat to Mae, his then crush. That changed when Kenji forced him to ask the next girl out he saw after being rejected by Mae... and that was Thora. Of course. After rightfully being flattened for embarrassing her, he offered her another date as an apology. Their relationship has grown from that, each of them finding in one another what they need. He loves her for her strength and uncompromising attitude, her love of samurai flicks and a mutual love of metal. The fact that she could lift him up over her own shoulder doesn't hurt things either.

XVII - THE STAR:

• Hideo Aratami: Hasn't seen him since his shadow possession. Thought he was a pretty cool dude before hand.

XVIII - THE MOON:

• Shirou has no noticable Moon links.

XIX - THE SUN:

• Shion Katsuragi: Semi-mentor to Shirou. Katsuragi-san, as always. Was not happy to hear that Shirou was going to use Fumiya as bait to catch the killer.

XX - JUDGEMENT:

• Shirou has no noticable Judgement links.

Trivia

• A born and raised son of Inaba, currently in class 1-2 of Yasogami High.

• His father, Nobuhiko, is a shinto priest for a shrine outside of town. His mother Midori is a homemaker, and often gossips with all the other women of Inaba. He has three brothers, the oldest one living at home and taking over the family Shirne (Hajime), the second living in Sumaru and going to college there (Jitarou), and the third (Sanzou) is a third year student at Yasogami, and constantly loves to make life hell for Shirou.

• He's been pondering many career paths, the primary one being a medical professional of some sort. That's changed as of late, with the realities of the world making him wonder if becoming a permanent part of the KDA is the best thing to do.

• Has night terrors occasionally due to a horrific experience suffered in the Sun Mall of Lunarville. Mostly they're of yellow and red eyes and red snapping jaws, along with sudden crippling isolation. Particularly bad ones will have him waking up screaming.
