Ichiko is an average sized Neko who weighs 99 pounds. She has full black hair, big green eyes, and tanned Yamataian skin. While her hips are wider than her bust, she's not completely flat. She keeps bikini tan lines projected over her skin, even though she's been locked away in prison for the past year. Ichiko's voice is cool and mellow, but doesn't give the impression she's particularly engaged in conversation unless she is directly interested in the topic.

The Mishhu biologist Shiro Ichiko is an inquisitive and determined Star Army scientist. So much so, in fact, that she is often (always) blind the rules and ethics that govern scientific advancement. She is generally agreeable but isn't afraid to correct anybody in matters that involve her expertise. When others are speaking about nonessential information or something she flat-out isn't interested in, Ichiko might “zone out” and continue more productive thinking. In those cases, she'll let her Nekovalkyrjan brain keep track of whatever she's ignoring.

Shiro Ichiko was created in YE 33 in the city of Ketsurui no Iori, Yamatai (Planet). She was born just before the Second Mishhuvurthyar War abruptly ended. In fact, during her creation, Yamatai's prospects of victory were not certain.

Specifically created to become a science officer, she attended Ketsurui Academy and excelled at the task. After taking great interest in the Mishhu, she focused on Xenobiology for her master's work and then specialized in Mishhuvurthyar Biological Combat Systems for her doctorate. She earned a reputation among her classmates and professors for her knowledge and proficiency at foreseeing favorable outcomes despite established risk assessment procedures.

Upon entering the fleet, Star Army Intelligence approached Ichiko and gave her a small lab and research team, knowing she would have no qualms with pursuing further knowledge of Yamatai's greatest enemy. SPP handlers quickly found that, once established, the novelty of Shiro's research outpaced the orders her group was given. Already minimal SAINT oversight eroded after the war ended. The situation eventually caught the attention of the Star Army Investigators, who shut the special program down.

SAINT left Shiro and her researches out to dry. She was demoted and charged with: research on unauthorized test subjects, creation of unauthorized test subjects, improper interaction with test subjects, illegal genetic engineering and inhumane treatment of test subjects, among other more minor charges. By the time SAINT released her from confinement in YE 38, again demanding use of her unique mind, she'd been imprisoned for over a year.
