Backstory: Shiro grew up an only child to an American father (John) and Japanese mother (Fa Li). His father was a superhero, his main power being flight. His mother had no powers, but worked as a schoolteacher. Shiro always wanted to be a superhero like his father and was very close to him. When he started at Hero High, things started off well. He had plenty of friends and did well in his classes. It was around this time that his father took on a sidekick, a girl named Anthy. Shiro didn't know her very well, but he talked with her occasionally at school. They worked together fairly often until tragedy struck. The two were stopping a bank robbery and Anthy ended up getting shot and killed. It was a huge scandal and it was all anyone talked about for weeks. Some blamed Shiro's father for what happened, some said it was just bad luck. Regardless, Shiro's father never took on another sidekick and the guilt consumed him. He quit being a superhero and spent most of his time glued to the couch, drinking. This went on for about two years until he finally decided to end his life by jumping off of a tall building. The incident hurt Shiro deeply and he almost quit Hero High, but eventually stayed with his mother's encouragement. His final year was rough though, as he felt people were constantly talking about his father behind his back. He graduated and started his career as a superhero, donning the name the Tinman. Despite his father's reputation haunting him, he soon became a fan favorite of the city. Despite requests though, he's never taken on a sidekick for fear of what happened to his father happening to him. He did decide to join the staff at Hero High though and this is his first year as the Hand-to-Hand combat teacher.
Personality: Shiro is a very hard-working and determined individual. When he sets his mind to something, he always gives 100%. He can be a people-pleaser though and can sometimes bite off more than he can chew. He's friendly with strangers and professional with colleagues, but has a hard time really opening up and letting people in. He has a hard time talking about his problems and prefers to distract himself instead, usually by doing a workout or throwing himself into a complicated recipe (cooking is a hobby of his). He doesn't drink alcohol at all. He's kind, but firm with his students and tries to encourage them as much as possible. Family is very important to him, his mom means the world to him.
