The richest and most snobbish member of Nube's class, Shuichi Shirato (Shirato Shuichi ) is the son of the owners of one of the finest restaurants in Doumori. Because of this, this "classy" boy consistently taunts Nube's personal tastes, both in cuisine and in his lack of material possessions. But while there are many times the teacher can't stand his arrogant attitude, Nube consistently finds a way to help him whenever he finds himself caught in a yokai situation. In a slight deviation from his teacher and classmates, Shuichi finds interest in more scientific means of the supernatural such as aliens and cryptozoology, trying to show there are things other than yokai out there, but consistently finding Nube back to assist him. Still, Shuuichi isn't an evil person per se; he also sincerely loves animals, to the point of being willing to give up his life to stop an angry yokai that once was a puppy.
