Honoka Shirahama/History

==Plot==
As Honoka's first appearance was when she followed her older brother Kenichi Shirahama to Ryōzanpaku and has find out what he has been up to. Upon her first arrival as she discovers the cruel training her bolder rother goes through and deduces that he goes through it all for the sake of Miu Fūrinji, whom she thinks is evil and refers to as "Big Chest". During her second visit to Ryōzanpaku, Honoka shows Shigure Kōsaka and Apachai Hopachai how to properly make tea, which impresses them. Kenichi orders Honoka not to ever come to Ryōzanpaku to see him again, to which she agrees. Since then, she has constantly returned to Ryōzanpaku under the pretense of seeing Shigure and Apachai, stating that Kenichi said, "She couldn't return to Ryōzanpaku to see Kenichi". Honoka soon becomes good friends with Shigure and Apachai and consequently visits the dojo regularly to play with them.
She later befriends Natsu Tanimoto after he saved her from some thugs and follows him to his home, despite his attempts to chase her out. When Loki appears, she demands to know why Tanimoto wants to hurt her brother, believing that they could become friends. Both fists of Ragnarök are shocked to learn that Honoka is Kenichi's little sister and Loki decides to kidnap her, despite Hermit's protests. The resultant battles end ironically, with Hermit saving her from Number 20 and leaving Ragnarök.
After this incident, Honoka still continues to visit Natsu's house whenever she pleases. Their relationship can be tributed to the fact that Natsu sees a resemblance in her to Kaede Tanimoto (Natsu's late sister) and Honoka not having her brother to spend time with because of his training. While Natsu protests to her visits, he has become fond of her.
Honoka is also extremely talented in the game Othello, which she often plays with Apachai and Tanimoto. These repeated games produced admirable results for Apachai, who could only be beaten in the game by Honoka and Akisame, and even then, only barely. Kenichi has also hinted at the possibility of Honoka being better than Akisame in the game. Tanimoto is often forced to do anything she asks after he loses, which happens more frequently than not much to his embarrassment, though he refuses to quit challenging her due to his refusal to accept defeat. This often results in Honoka forcing Tanimoto to take her on dates or letting her cook for him, or even giving her a shoulder massage.
As a result of Honoka breaking things while cleaning and not having much skill in cooking, Natsu has had to learn how to cook, quite well in fact, and clean. Honoka believes, and has told Haruo Niijima, that it's because of her guidance, while in reality she does not realize that Natsu has learned how to cook and clean to avoid her breaking things and having to eat her bad cooking.
