Personality
Shiro is usually seen as a carefree, outgoing person with a playful nature. He is a huge fan of Kitetsu swords, and will often talk about them or boast his collection of them. That is why when they are involved in a matter that he also is, Shiro becomes a completely different person. He takes off his facade and shows his true demeanor.

Kitetsu Sword

Powers and Abilities
Black Sword Soul: Users with a black soul are said to be masters of the Touki. This is a unique condition caused by having a black crystal within oneself or being the host to the Obsidian Goddess. Black crystal users are shown to have a second color along with the black crystals they possess.

White Sword Soul: Shiro's original sword soul color was white. Amongst the five types of sword souls, it is the absolute strongest. Its users are described as those who can use horrifying techniques that surpass the limits of human knowledge. It is so rare that there have only been a few white blade users throughout all of history.

Shiro's ability allows him to cut out locations in space to swap them with others. The size of the location can range anywhere from about the size of the average human to that of an entire mountain top.

Aoshi Sanada said he was like a god that can manipulate heaven and earth, with the power to slice open the world and rearrange it as he sees fit, using the power of creation and destruction. When fighting opponents he doesn't want to touch with his blade, he traps and crushes them in a water prison made of high pressure water swapped from the ocean floor, or he drops the bone melting interior of a volcano on them.

Trivia

 * His favourite meat is pheasant meat.
