- Ordinary High-School Student: Shirou is the only non-clone at his school. Until it's revealed he is in fact also a clone.
- Scholarship Student: Shirou fills this role in a lot of ways: he's allowed to attend the school only because his father is headmaster, he's a bit of an outcast among the students, and he provides an everyman for readers to identify with. However, obviously, this isn't because of money but because he's not a clone. Or so he thinks.
