==History==
===2007 Anime===
Shiraishi tried to stop his friends from destroying the stone stand that stood at Ikebe, unknowingly freeing the Yōkai Suiko. Sometime later, he groups with his friends Kuroda and Akai, where he tells them that he heard from his younger sister that Aoki had disappeared in his bathroom, the only things that were found were pieces of algae-like substances. He believes that it was caused by what they did before and that a Yōkai is behind it, but Kuroda dismisses him and leaves. He then tries to find Akai by the restrooms but finds the water overflowing and Akai missing.
The next day after school, he sits by himself thinking about what they did. Kuroda soon confronts him and tells him not to be concerned over it. Later he walks through an empty alleyway and runs frightened when he feels something is coming for him. He grabbed by his ankle and is slowly pulled into the gutter. He is saved by Kitarō and faints. He soon wakes up and thanks Neko-Musume whilst blushing, but is scared by the cat Yōkai for doing so. After being terrified of Medama-Oyaji, he shows them where the stone stand was and is told that the Suiko was sealed here and apologizes for its release. He tells Kitarō about his friend who hasn't been abducted.
Neko-Musume brings Shiraishi to Yōkai Yokochō as she asks Sunakake-Babaa for help, staying close to the cat Yōkai the whole time. They begin the plan at the school's pool where he will be bait with a rope tied around his waist. He asks if there is any other way, but the Suiko arrives and Medama-Oyaji comforts him as he is by his side. The Suiko reveals itself and Shiraishi is pulled to the top of the school by Nurikabe as Kitarō calls him to cover the pool. The Suiko follows him and prepares to eat him but Kitarō stops him. He is pushed away by Neko-Musume as the others subdue the Suiko, watching as it cries in pain from Sunakake-Babaa's sand. Just as Medama-Oyaji asks him to bend down to seal the Suiko, it starts raining and the water empowers the Suiko. He is caught by one of the Suiko's water tendrils, holding onto Neko-Musume's hands and later being held by his back. He watches as the Suiko's weight breaks through the floors of the school and Kitarō going after it, eventually being swallowed. He continues spectating as Kitarō uses his Internal Electricity to weaken it with the dragon essence it absorbed, eventually reducing it to a ball. He smiles as sees his friends are back.
Later he watches as Medama-Oyaji places the seal on the ball and answers him that the Suiko is stuck inside the ball. He and his friends are told by Kitarō to fix the stand and place the ball back, which he promises that they will do it properly. He slaps Kuroda for refusing to take responsibility and scolds them with Kitarō and his friends. The next day he and his friends are repairing the stand, he tells Kuroda to put more effort into scrubbing as Kitarō watches them from afar.
