Ginka Shirokane is a 13-year-old cheerful girl known for her sharp wit and as the lively mood-maker of her team, possessing a strong sense of justice but also a pragmatic, even calculating side.
Height: 147 cm
Age: 13
Birthday: January 14
Blood Type: B
Hails from Osaka, Japan.
Ginka has a bright and energetic appearance, often seen with a confident, mischievous glint in her eyes.
During battle in her special mode, she sprouts shining wings (red on the right, blue on the left), with an angelic halo above her head and an intense, focused expression.
Ginka is upbeat, energetic, and never hesitates to lighten the mood with humor.
She embodies the stereotypical “Osaka” character—witty, bold, and frank.
Despite her strong sense of justice, she can be highly pragmatic, sometimes even coming off as calculating, especially when it comes to money.
She tends to see her duties as work rather than a mission grounded in ideology.
Due to experiences in her childhood, Ginka feels uneasy in empty spaces and prefers her room to be filled with possessions.
Ginka is the daughter of Yatarou Shirokane, president of the discount chain “Sancho Panza.”
Although her family lives comfortably now, she went through tough times as a child after her father’s business failure, growing up being chased by debt collectors.
Life struggles made her particularly mindful of money and instilled a practical outlook.
Her great aunt was also a former “Temperance” Arcana user, establishing a legacy in the family.
She attends the same school as Akari Taiyo.
As the Temperance Arcana bearer, Ginka’s main weapon in battle is her set of special coins, each with a star on one side and an octopus on the other.
She can use them to launch rapid attacks, forge powerful double-edged axes and spears, or create sturdy shields for defense—demonstrating exceptional balanced skills between attack and protection.
In her “Tenebrae Mode,” her angelic wings and halo appear, signifying her amplified spiritual energy.
She can enlarge her weapons and shield, covering herself in golden light during critical moments for further boosts.
She is a teammate and close friend to Akari Taiyo, Seira Hoshikawa, and Luna Tsukuyomi, often serving as the group’s mediator.
Her father, Yatarou Shirokane, influences her practical approach to life and money.
A major impact on her was her father’s college friend, Kojiro Honda, who once saved her family during their poorest days.
Her connection with Akari Taiyo deepens after understanding Akari’s philosophy of battle.
Her favorite foods include takoyaki (octopus balls), a nod to her Osaka roots.
Ginka’s room is intentionally cluttered—emptiness makes her anxious due to past traumas.
She is famous for her skill at using coins both in and out of battle.
Ginka’s main motivation for fighting at first was simply to earn money, not for the noble cause her companions fought for.
“It’s just a job if you ask me. Gotta earn that cash!”
“I’m the team’s balancing act... even if I don’t have anything of my own!”
“If running keeps me alive, you’ll see my back before my face next time!”
“But if it’s for the team, that’s all the reason I need!”
Early Ideals and Team Dynamics
At the beginning, Ginka doesn’t take the Daemonia threat personally—she simply treats monster extermination as a job to support herself, unlike Akari Taiyo and Seira Hoshikawa, who have deep personal convictions.
This put her in a neutral stance regarding her teammates' ideological clashes, always using humor and logic to smooth group tensions.
Change through Loss
Her worldview is shaken after she is forced to destroy Kojiro Honda, a family benefactor turned Daemonia.
Carrying out this painful act herself, Ginka comes to understand Akari’s determination and re-examines her own reasons to fight.
The Duel with the Anti-Card
After learning of the existence of “counter cards” capable of mutually assured destruction, Ginka initially jokes that she would run to save her own skin.
Fate intervenes when she faces one such Counter Card tied to her own arcana—Temperance.
Grappling with her mercenary motivations, and guided by a heart-to-heart with her father, she chooses to sacrifice herself for her friends, trapping Akari and the others in a barrier so they cannot interfere, and fighting the Counter Card alone.
The battle ends with her and the card mutually annihilating each other.
Return and Power-up
Though thought lost, Ginka survives in a mysterious realm, battling the Counter Card in an endless loop.
Spurred on by Akari's voice, she finally defeats her foe and is resurrected.
She returns at a critical moment, enveloped in golden light with greatly enhanced abilities, saving Seira Hoshikawa and Luna Tsukuyomi and reuniting with her friends.
Epilogue
Together with Akari Taiyo, Charlotte, and Shunran, Ginka continues to fight at the Yotsuhama Branch, stronger in both spirit and bonds.
Her voice actress is Yui Ogura.
Ginka is a beloved fan favorite in the Day Break Illusion community for her humor and emotional journey.
She is often associated with bright, flashy visuals matching her lively personality.
