Shirotani, Tadaomi

城谷忠臣

Shirotani is employed by the Tosawa Corporation. He has suffered from mysophobia since childhood. He has short strawberry-blonde hair. His eyes are a light shade of brown, and he has a mole under his right eye. In public, he wears a suit with gloves, often covered by a long beige jacket.
He is perceived as rude, inconsiderate, or even arrogant, but he actually has low self-esteem and cares deeply about others. He tries to keep his distance from people because he does not want to hurt anyone with his mysophobia; this is why he blamed himself so heavily when his boss was injured in an accident. This traumatic experience, along with help from Kurose Riku, led Shirotani to work on his mysophobia. He is currently undergoing exposure therapy with Kurose's assistance; Kurose is also a counselor at a clinic called Shimada Psychosomatics.
