Shiro showed up at {{jo|Kenzo}}'s dojo one day, stating that he wanted to battle and adding that he also wanted to be a {{wp|shihan}}. He said his name, and explained that he came to challenge the shihan of the dojo to a Pokémon battle. Shiro, as explained by an angered [[Chigusa]], is a Pokémon Trainer which fighting dojos call a "Dojo Destroyer". When a Dojo Destroyer defeats the shihans, he or she wins the plaques that hang in front of their dojos. At that point, Shiro possessed eleven plaques and sought an even dozen. His purpose was that he planned on opening his own Fighting-type Pokémon dojo back home, and he wanted his students’ respect.
