History
Before Kokoro
Shirogane Jishou was born the middle of three children, his brother Seijaku being older by three years, and his sister, Kirei, being younger by ten. While growing up, the boy was kept away from the world of magic, as it was quickly revealed that he was the cursed one of his generation, and the elders feared that he might be resentful that he couldn't use magic while everyone around him could. His life as a child was normal - he excelled in school, especially in history and science, made many friends, and began to pull his first few pranks.
Originally, his pranks were done for attention. But as Jishou soon realized that some of them actually made the most depressed person smile, he went on to build more elaborate ones. It was a miracle, almost, that his grades didn't falter as a result. His pranks soon became a part of him, and as he became older, the girls began to soon realize that he was more than just a simple prankster. This was much to his dismay, as girls were beginning to randomly ask him for dates. Unable to say no, this resulted in (many!) blind dates. None of his classmates really seemed to interest him in that way, and his friends that were girls.. were just that. Friends.
Two years before he left, he did meet one girl: Nakajima Haruka. The two were very good friends for a long time, though they met in the oddest of circumstances: Haruka was being verbally abused by one of her female classmates, and Shou stood up for her. From that point on, the two seemed to have some sort of bond that tied them together. A year before Shou left, the two decided to take it up one more notch, and began dating. They were almost at the boyfriend-girlfriend level when Shou announced that he was leaving for America. Knowing that their dating relationship would have to end, the two broke up while Shou was at the airport, hence his almost depressed feelings when he first arrived.
However, he had yet to realize the full impact of being in New York for a year. Meeting Mizuhara Max at the airport, the two stopped by at the flowerstop where Max's girlfiend, Kotoko worked. This was Beaumont Flower Shoppe, and that day was the first meeting between Shou and Liz. One day soon after, Shou and his new-found American friends decided to play a prank on the girls working on the flower shop by painting all the roses black. It backfired on him, as Liz became really upset over this occurance. While comforting her, one could say that this was really when he began to feel something towards her. Thus, his pranks continued (they were later dubbed Operation Black Roses) as his way of showing his feelings.
After he had finally saved up the money to buy her an engagement ring, Shou had forgotten that he hadn't asked permission from his family to marry her. He hurriedly left for Tokyo to ask, leaving a confused Kokoto to deliver the flower bouquet with ring inside to Liz. For the first time, he was the victim of a prank that Liz pulled on him; the two did marry, and ended up having a son, Ryou.
For Shou, life became peaceful and somewhat boring. He began to be more involved in science shortly after Ryou started, examing fossils that his friend, Shinga Tsukasa, would send him. A few years later, when Shou hadn't gotten very far with these fossils, he hired an exchange student, Akaksaka Keiichiro, to help him out with his research on extinct and endangered animals. It was with Keiichiro's help that Jishou began his notes on what would become the Mew Project. He had gotten far with the notes, but not quite far enough, so as a result, he became dangerously engrossed in his work. When a Chimera came to life from a fossil, it was Shou who somehow managed to get everyone out of the mansion. He wasn't able to save himself, so he died within the fire.

Other-Worldly Counterparts
- America Mew Mew: Jishou is known there as the father of Ryou and Shuugo, and indirectly the cause for the Mew Project to begin there, having been engrossed in his work for quite some time. He didn't learn about magic until his sons accidentally revealed it to him during a battle, though he was surprisingly accepting of his family's heritage. Currently, the adult is pretty much the same that he is in Kokoro: cheerful, fun-loving, occasionally pays attention to work, and so forth.
Personality
Lovelife
- Nakajima Haruka: The first girl that Shou truly liked. Haruka and Shou were good friends for quite a while before deciding to take their relationship one step further. They were almost at the girlfriend-boyfriend level before Jishou announced to her that he would be heading to America for a year. Knowing that their relationship would probably have to end here and there, the two broke up just as Shou left. Despite their quiet ending, Haruka and Shou still keep in touch, and attended each other's weddings: Nakajima Haruka is known as Kazeno Haruka these days.
