Yatarou Shirokane is a passionate middle-aged man with a lively Kansai spirit, well-known for his close relationship with his daughter, Ginka Shirokane. In his youth, he struggled with debt after a failed takoyaki shop, but later found success by inventing a popular home takoyaki maker featuring a voice guide.
Yatarou Shirokane thrives in environments overflowing with material goods, a habit mirrored by his daughter due to their challenging past. His personality is hearty and energetic, often to the point of being overwhelming. He is deeply customer-oriented, personally addressing even minor complaints and valuing gratitude as someone who rose from poverty to prosperity.
He maintains an excellent relationship with his daughter, Ginka Shirokane, displaying trust and pride in her achievements. After Ginka temporarily vanished during a dangerous mission, Yatarou discussed the risks with Akari Taiyo, revealing his awareness and acceptance of the threats his daughter faces.
His initial business failure inspired his invention of the household takoyaki maker, which became a hit product. This achievement set the basis for his discount chain store, cementing his status as a successful entrepreneur.
Yatarou is driven by a sense of gratitude and responsibility, wanting to give back to society after overcoming hardship. He honors his aunt’s legacy of moderation and supports organizations like Sefiro Fiore with generous donations, showing understanding towards their existence.
A significant supporter and patron of Sefiro Fiore, Yatarou is recognized for his bloodline’s connection to "Moderation." This makes him a potential target for Daemonia, prompting him to carry a protective talisman linked to Moderation at all times.
Although aware of the life-threatening risks surrounding his family due to their ties with Sefiro Fiore and Daemonia, Yatarou faces these dangers with a measured resolve. His conversation with Akari Taiyo hints at his preparedness and underlying concern for Ginka’s safety.
Both Yatarou and his daughter feel uneasy unless they are surrounded by an abundance of items. This tendency reflects their history and the comfort they find in security and plenty, making his home and business atmospheres distinctive and lively.
His philanthropic spirit extends to substantial donations intended to support Sefiro Fiore and its cause, reaffirming his role as a benefactor and an influential figure in the community.
