{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|As the Summoners' advisor, Shirou thought of something in between his days of thinking about the guild master. If he can become a substitute leader if it suddenly became time for that, wouldn't that be even more helpful? As class representative he's shown from earlier that he has high leadership qualities in organizing others. This time he's participating in scout activities to push forward and gain even more leadership experience. His natural insightfulness, consideration, vigilance, and preparedness can be displayed and win trust in him. But even so, a surprise among surprises befell him. The original owner of Shirou Motoori's Sacred Artifact is the viceroy of the former rulers who once controlled this land. Those beings are said to have fallen as stars onto the earth from the heavens from the far off distant past. However, in the future of Tokyo that determination will one day go the reverse of that and advance towards the stars above.}}

== Notes ==
*His full name is Shiro Motoori (本居シロウ).
* His full name is Shiro Motoori (本居シロウ).
*His Role is "Gatekeeper" and his Rule is "Resurrection."
** He shares his surname with [[wikipedia:Motoori Norinaga|Norinaga Motoori]] (本居 宣長), an 18th century scholar who was famous for his annotation of the [[wikipedia:Kojiki|''Kojiki'']]
* Shiro's [[Sacred Artifact]], a magical tome, is a reference to a famous artifact in [[Wikipedia:Lovecraftian_horror|lovecraftian horror]] called the [[Wikipedia:Necronomicon|Necronomicon]] where the book contains accounts of the [[Wikipedia:Great_Old_Ones|Great Old Ones]], their history, and their means of summoning them. Though not in its original incarnations, popular depictions have caused it to garner the side effect of causing madness to whoever read it as well as being bound in leather with the appearance of a mutilated face.
** In the Lovecraftian universe, the book was written by the "Mad Arab" named [[Wikipedia:Abdul_Alhazred|Abdul Alhazred]], which was the pen name Shiro used during his anonymous online conversations with another person with the pen name [[Shuichi|Cain]].
** The design of the of the Necronomicon is based on [https://evildead.fandom.com/wiki/Necronomicon_Ex-Mortis it's incarnation from the movie, Evil Dead].
** Abdul was described as having worshipped [[Wikipedia:Yog-Sothoth|Yog-Sothoth]] and as such, when Shiro caused an [[Exception]], [[Yog-Sothoth]] was summoned.
* Shiro's summoning mark is on the palm of his right hand, it has the appearance of a semicircle with a face of the [[Evil|Evils]] he summons.
* His Role is "Gatekeeper" and his Rule is "Resurrection"
** Though there is a trend with the five Oath [[Akashic Records]] that uses the Rules of the respective character appearing in it in the title and that Shiro's is [[Oath of Pioneer]] suggesting that his Rule was changed to "Pioneer" from "Resurrection".
*** The same Akashic Record describes Yog-Sothoth as the "Gatekeeper", which is a reference on the summoning of Yog-Sothoth text revealed in [[Wikipedia:The_Dunwich_Horror|The Dunwich Horror]] written by Lovecraft, that describes Yog-Sothoth as "''Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth.''"
* Shiro's charge skill "Five Books of Madness" is a reference to the known original copies of the Necronomicon kept in five institutions worldwide. Lovecraft also elucidated that other copies may exist, but are kept by private individuals.
*In early 2019, Shiro's previous voice actor, Masato Yoshida, was replaced by Hiroki Goto<ref>https://twitter.com/4jhapp_lw_en/status/1090615713121759233</ref>, possibly in preparation for the debut of [[AR Equipment]] later that same year. Upon the change, his original {{Star|3}}, {{Star|4}} and first variant voice lines were replaced with Goto's takes.
