Team China

[love]

No one notices when Shirakawa is out and about wearing black leather jacket and pants, colored contact lenses, and hair pomaded to perfection. He wears a neutral expression on his face; occasionally a scowl, all perfectly in character. Greasers would claim him as their own with pride.

No one from the Nihon Ki-in has ever recognized him. Shirakawa has a neutral face, the kind that makes you look once, think, "That man looks vaguely familiar," and then walk away without a second thought. He isn't high-profile enough to be recognized by journalists or fans. (He had a close shave, once, but the fan, frightened by Shirakawa's glare, whimpered and ran away after a hurried "SORRY!".)

But when he goes out on go-related matters...

Full suit. Large black spectacle frames. His hair always looks as if he got a haircut in the 80s. His smile, permanent (except on the rare occasions when Shindou-kun non-plusses him).

It is Shirakawa's uniform, and wearing it pleases him.

Er, sorry, I assume people know this is for "Shirakawa, professionalism"?

I could just see this 'flip side' as it seems so gloriously unlikely.
Its also very true that no one really notices him. He gets on with his job and there isn't neally so much of a fuss as there is about Ogata or Kurata. He must be somewhere between the two in both age and Go level.

'Greasers would claim him as their own with pride'

I guess this double life went very smoothly until he was tempted to play Go against Tsubaki, then his level blew his cover... ^_^

*laughs* To be honest, I just wanted to do something really ridiculous with Shirakawa, and this was the most ridiculous thing I could think of in 30 seconds. I'm glad it worked out! (I bet Tsubaki didn't even think of connecting the two... XD)
