Profile[]

Personality[]

Shiraki is a gruff man who likes partying with his gang and enjoys flashy jewelry, wearing gold necklaces and rings as part of his street attire.

Involvement[]

Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami: 2005[]

Shiraki leads the White Edge, alongside the other Color Gangs, to attack Purgatory. Afterwards, Shiraki throws a party in the Champion District for his crew. Soon after, the party is interrupted by Kazuma Kiryu, and Shiraki orders his crew to attack him. Defeated by Kiryu, Shiraki is pushed against a wall and asked where "Haruka" is. Not knowing the answer, Shiraki informs Kiryu that they were hired by the Bloody Eye before passing out.

Yakuza Kiwami 2: 2006[]

Shiraki and the White Edge are hired by the Three Musketeers to destroy the equipment used by Majima Construction for the Kamurocho Hills construction site. Shiraki appears unnamed as "White Edge" in first-time intro cutscene for the mission "Fujinami's Foray," and later on in the mission as the boss "White Edge Shiraki."[a]

Yakuza 4: 2010[]

Main article: Color Gangs

Shiraki runs into Kiryu on the streets of Kamurocho once again. Shiraki reveals that the White Edge disbanded soon after their humiliating loss to Kiryu, but that he has since turned his life around, having started a successful used-car sales company called Platinum Motors. Shiraki claims that the business is "mostly" legitimate, but that it is also a front for an unspecified yakuza group to launder money.

Fighting Style[]

Yakuza[]

Trivia[]

  • Shiraki's name is written with the kanji "", which means "white", a clear reference to his gang's primary outfit color.

Notes[]

  1. Shiraki's appearance in Yakuza Kiwami 2 is inconsistent with his statement in Yakuza 4, where he states the White Edge disbanded right after his encounter with Kazuma Kiryu in Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami.
