History Characters / KaguyaSamaLoveIsWarMiyukiShirogane

* {{Workaholic}}: Kaguya states he actually enjoys work. And the extras show that he spends so much time studying and working that no one knows when he has time to sleep. [[spoiler: Got to a point where when Kaguya tries to flirt with him, Shirogane focuses on his work before flirting back to her.]]

** [[spoiler: Even when they tried to have their first time, Shirogane stopped himself when he realize something was bothering Kaguya, not wanting to continue if she is unease. They only resume when Kaguya gives her consent and kiss him.]]

* AboveTheInfluence: Hayasaka tries to tempt him into doing things to Kaguya when he comes to visit, pointing out that she wouldn't remember any of it due to her fever, the two of them would be left alone for three hours and that the walls are sound-proof. He manages to avoid giving into temptation, though he says that it took every ounce of his willpower. Perhaps more importantly given the nature of their relationship, however, is that he ''also'' resisted the temptation to ask how she really felt about him or about any of her weaknesses. [[spoiler: Even when they tried to have their first time, Shirogane stopped himself when he realize something was bothering Kaguya before they resume.]]

** Even though it was Hell for Fujiwara, Shirogane begins to learn basic things much quicker and less painful by taking what Fujiwara taught him to good use. Able to pick up ballroom dancing and baseball batting form faster than it would take three days to volleyball when he started.

* CrazyJealousGuy: He thought about to use his presidential powers to prevent Kaguya from going to receive a love confession from another boy, especially when she suggests she might actually accept it. There are also moments where he is jealous of Ishigami spending time with Kaguya and being treated differently.

** Shirogane always tried his hardest to keep up a good appearance and not showing any weakness [[spoiler: because his mother abandoned him and believed Kaguya would not like the real him.]] But [[spoiler: starting a relationship with Kaguya]] and the aid of Fujiwara allows him to relax a bit to the point his grade drops a little by his own admission. Even opening up about his weaknesses as the series goes on, letting his classroom know that he isn't good at balloon animals artwork and not mind their pity.

** Regarding the Emperor, Shirogane faces the storyline [[spoiler: Where Kaguya had to be taken back to her home by her family. But unlike the Emperor, who rejected Kaguya-Hime's gift of immortality, Shirogane took the gift of one billion yen to fund his mission to save Kaguya and, unlike the other two, succeeded.]]

* CompositeCharacter: Miyuki is seemingly based on Otomo no Miyuki and some traits of the Emperor [[spoiler: (minus Mikado)]] from ''Literature/TheTaleOfTheBambooCutter''. Like Otomo no Miyuki, he longs for the heart of Kaguya and has a fear of water. But unlike his story counterpart, Shirogane manages to overcome the “dragon trial” and win Kaguya's heart.]]

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: By Chapter 160, Shirogane starts dating Kaguya.]]

** Between him and Kaguya, [[spoiler: he's the one who finally admits to loving Kaguya and confesses his feelings first.]]

* YouAreWorthHell: Fulfilling his claim back in Chapter 56, [[Shirogane spends the majority of the final arc fending off against the Shinomiya's family and rescuing Kaguya. At the end of Chapter 261, Shirogane vow that he doesn't care if it takes hundreds of years or she was moved somewhere far away, he will make sure they are togther again.]]

** When Shirogane realizes he hasn't really developed a relationship with Iino due to the many misunderstandings early on souring her good image of him, as well as his fear that she would hate him like she does Ishigami, he works to avert this.

* CrazyJealousGuy: He tries his best to utilize his presidential powers to prevent Kaguya from going to receive a love confession from another boy, especially when she suggests she might actually accept it. There are also moments where he is jealous of Ishigami spending time with Kaguya and being treated differently.

* DreadfulMusician: He's aware he's bad at singing, but not of how terrible it is. He think he's only a little tone-deaf, but in actuality his singing is enough to make Fujiwara scream for help. But as bad as his singing is, his ''rapping'' is even worse. How bad? Upon hearing it the first time, Kei called Fujiwara and begged her to choke the life out of her brother.

* AccidentalTruth: In chapter 6, when Tsubasa mentions to Shirogane that the girls in his class made fun of him for not having a girlfriend. Shirogane then mentions that the girls probably all really liked him, and spouts out several hidden meanings behind their jeers and that they secretly all like him. It's all bullshit he made up on the spot to seem like an experienced ladies-man, but one of the girls he brings up says "That's hilarious" at Tsubasa, with the hidden meaning being "(I'm so glad he's free)". Again, it's all crap that Shirogane made up, but this particular girl turned out to be none other than [[EarlyBirdCameo Maki Shijo]], who ''did'' secretly like Tsubasa. She can be seen later that chapter when Tsubasa asks Kashiwagi out, and she's ''devastated''.

* Character Development:

* BookSmart: He is not a [[TheAce multi-talented genius]] like his LoveInterest, Kaguya, but he makes up for his lack of prestige by his academic achievements, earning the best grades among the entire student body during exams, and is consistently placed as the top-scorer in the national mock exams--save for one time where he got beaten by a certain Mikado Shijo. However, the series later acknowledge that he's probably not naturally that intelligent (being likely less bright than his younger sister Kei), and when he allows himself to slack off a little [[spoiler:after getting together with Kaguya]], his ranking drops to the 12th place.

* CannotSpitItOut: Or rather, ''will not''. The entire premise revolves around Kaguya and Shirogane forcing the other to be the one to confess.

* BlindWithoutEm: Shirogane's character profile in the first volume mentions how his glare is partially the result of him being nearsighted. [[spoiler:It isn't until Chapter 237 that he and the audience find out just ''how'' myopic he is, and Hayasaka spends most of the chapter trying to convince him to either start wearing glasses or contacts.]]
