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.
