## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Shirohato_Pharmaceuticals&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
The company used to be a drug developping and pharmaceutical company which operated many drug stores in Tokyo. It closed around 25 years ago due to undergoing bankrupcy. It used to have a drug development team. The status of its former key people and employees is still unknown. [Atsushi Miyano](/wiki/Atsushi_Miyano "Atsushi Miyano") joined the company 30 years ago.

The company is rumored to have been forced out of business by [Renya Karasuma](/wiki/Renya_Karasuma "Renya Karasuma") and his [Karasuma Group](/wiki/Karasuma_Group "Karasuma Group") to force Atsushi, in which he had spotted potential, to join his group's drug development team. However, years later, when Atsushi considered allowing the Karasuma Group to sponsor his research, he was hesitant due to the group's reputation but not due to any history with Shirohato Pharmaceuticals.
## Name origin[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Shirohato_Pharmaceuticals&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Name origin")]
The company's name is an irony as opposed to the [Karasuma Group](/wiki/Karasuma_Group "Karasuma Group"), making it look like a "Black [Crow](/wiki/Crow "Crow")" eating a "White Dove". Its products had indeed a white dove as emblem.
