DC ~ Da Capo ~  > DC ~ Da Capo ~ Characters in the series  > **Kotori Shirakawa**

**Kotori Shirakawa** (白河 ことり, '**Shirakawa Kotori'**) is one of the female protagonists in Da Capo. Kotori is the student of Kazami affiliated junior high class 3-3 and the school's idol. Through the power of the magical sakura tree, she can hear other people's thoughts, but she carefully hides this ability.

## Settings

A school idol who is kind to everyone, sings well, is beautiful, and has excellent grades. It is popular with both the students attached to Kazami Gakuen and our school, and even the existence of an informal fan club is hinted at. It looks like it's hard to get close to him, and when he talks to him, he's actually a refreshing girl who is friendly with the person he meets for the first time. The charm point, the hat , belongs to the choir that my parents recommend, and my hobby is collecting hats. I like sweets in general, cherry blossoms, and orange juice. I am not good at crowds, dogs, and spicy foods in general. A family of four, Junichi's class 3rd grade 1st class teacher Shirakawa is a sister-in-law. Like Shirakawa in " DCII ~ Da Capo II ~ ", he has the ability to read people's hearts ( telepathy ) by the magic of the undying cherry tree , and although he is attentive to the surroundings, he thinks this act is cowardly and dirty. I am suffering from what seems to be the ideal idol from the people around me. This ability plays an important role in the Kotori route. She can study and is good at cooking, but she is not good at exercising.

In the main part of the DC game and the first animation " DC ~ Da Capo ~ ", he is enrolled in the 3rd grade 3rd group attached to Kazami Gakuen (high school in the comic version), height 157cm, weight 41kg, 3 sizes are 83/55/84 from the top. Blood type is A type. It is (only) growing at DCSS and is said to be 84 C-cups.

The company production of adult games " Water Summer heroine Sayaka Shirakawa of" a cousin, has a hobby, which also collect a hat.

Although it belongs to the central committee in the setting material of the game, the central committee is not mentioned in the work  . There are few scenes where he talks with other heroines, and he is often with his bandmates Kanako Saeki and Tomoko Morikawa.

In the Megami Magazine special project ranking at the beginning of the anime version, it was lower than Asakura Nemu  , but it became more popular during the anime broadcast and later gained the highest popularity among DC characters in the same ranking. At the time of the magazine's 10th anniversary project, it was recognized as one of the five major heroines of all time, including other works. In addition, in the "Popular heroine rankings chosen by readers" held by Dengeki G's magazine, it continued to maintain the top position for a long time until the March 2005 issue, and even when more than 7 years have passed since the release of the PC version, DCII ~ Da Capo II It continues to be ranked in the top 5 with Otohime Asakura, and is the most popular character that has been ranked in the longest of all the characters ranked in the magazine. However, in recent years (2010), it has been pushed by other new heroines, and sometimes it falls below the top five.

DC-related fan discs and goods after DCFS are often used to decorate package pictures instead of the main heroine, Nemu. In addition, two DVD-BOXes from the TV anime series ("DC-da Capo-DVD-BOX (first production limited edition)" released on December 25, 2008 and released on March 25, 2009. In "DCSS ~ Da Capo Second Season ~ DVD-BOX (First Production Limited Edition)"), the OVA " DCif Da Capoif ~ " featuring her was recorded as a privilege in the first and second parts.

Furthermore, on April 29, 2009, a game with Kotori as the main heroine, " DCIF-Da Capo-Innocent Finale " was released, and on April 23, 2010, a fan disc focusing on her scenario. " Kotori Love Ex P " has also been released.

As mentioned above, the cherry tree has the power to read the mind, but basically no one knows it. In the anime drama CD "Hatsunejima Drama Theater", except for Kotori, Junichi is drawn to know that, and Kotori uses honorifics for Junichi at the beginning as if to show it. As the story progresses, honorifics and tame words are mixed, and the tone becomes "○○ ssu".

## Kotori Shirakawa in the game

### DC

Kotori, who is both talented and talented, was seen by the people around her, but Kotori herself felt a complex to be seen as an idol of the school. However, unlike the surroundings, he likes the main character, Junichi Asakura, who treats him indiscriminately. In addition, his singing voice is so good that he can participate in the contest, and he is assigned to solo in the choir.

It seems that he had acquainted with Junichi and Sakura's grandmother when he was young, and is described by Junichi's "dream".

### DCWS / SV / FS / AS

" DC White Season " depicting Christmas of the same year as DC, " DC Summer Vacation " depicting the summer of the following year , " DC Four Seasons " In " Four Seasons " and "DC After Seasons-Da Capo-After Seasons", he went on to our school. It is possible to capture as a heroine in the amusement park edition of DCSV and the spring edition of DCFS / DCAS which is a remake of it.

At DCWS, they were still love-loving, but for some reason they quarreled. A girl named Hina appears there, and they are called "Daddy" and "Mama".

The future is hinted at if she is chosen in the DC world. It has not been ported to DCFS / DCAS.

The DC edition of " CDChristmas Days ", a compilation fan disc of multiple circus works, depicts the events of Christmas one year after the White Season Kotori edition. Second grader of our school.

### DCIF

Became the main heroine in "DCIF-Da Capo-Innocent Finale".

Kotori decided to confess to Junichi using the beauty pageant of the graduation party, but at the very moment when she tried to confess, Junichi's younger sister Nemu collapsed and the confession failed.

The truth is why Kotori was taken over by the calendar house, why he needed the ability to read people's hearts, what his real parents were doing, and why he knew the secret of Kudo Kano. It becomes clear.

In the epilogue, Hina Asakura, who appeared in DCWS, appears as two children.

### Kotori Love Ex P

In " Kotori Love Ex P ", the scene of the newlyweds after that is drawn. After graduating from Kazami Gakuen, he worked as a nursery teacher at a nursery school where his niece Chiaki Saeki attended after graduating from a junior college. Depending on the route, her husband Junichi has an affair, but he did not notice until the end.

### DCII

Kotori herself does not appear in the sequel " DCII ~ Da Capo II ~ ", which depicts 53 years after DC . A person named "Nanaka ​​Shirakawa" appears as one of the heroines, but it is explained in the official visual book that it is not a direct line of Kotori.

### DC Dream X'mas

In "DC ~ Christmas Mirai Koi Yume ~", although it is a parallel world, it is not a little shocking to know that Junichi and Nemu were married in the future world 53 years later.

In "DCII ~ Day Dream Believer ~", we will be the first to accept and support Yoshiyuki and others who came from the future. In addition, he is one of the few people who noticed a sense of discomfort in the loop world, and he will consult with Yoshiyuki and others in the future. When shaking hands with Naka Shirakawa, both sides have a mysterious experience like telepathic communication. Actually, on the actual time axis (the world of "DC"), I didn't know Junichi and Nemu yet on December 22nd before the Kripa event, but I already knew them in this world (on the Naka & Kyou route). There is a contradiction that Nemu and the first name are called), which is greatly involved in the story.

## Kotori Shirakawa in Anime

Compared to the game, he has a friendly and friendly personality, but there are many scenes where he is worried, and he has a slightly serious and mature personality.

### DC

In the game version, I got to know each other at a Christmas party, but in the anime, I got to know each other after exchanging bread with Junichi during the lunch break. Eventually, he was shaken to convey his feelings to Junichi, but he was satisfied and withdrew.

### DCSS

By the end of the sixth episode when Nemu of " DCSS ~ Da Capo Second Season ~ " appeared, all episodes appeared as the main characters in the absence of both Nemu and Sakura.

At the same time, many fans sympathize with the humble attitude of retiring from his position, hoping for the happiness of Junichi and Nemu . On the other hand, he confessed to Junichi, the previous work, and thought that he was satisfied with being shaken, but while taking care of him instead of Nemu, his feelings swelled again, and it became a trigger for the revival of the cherry tree later.

### DCif

This is the main heroine in this work.

The relationship with Junichi has developed to the point of being in love, but not in love. Junichi thinks he can't move forward because of the existence of Nemu who has disappeared, and tries to clean up Nemu's room with everyone. However, when he notices Nemu's feelings, he refuses Junichi who cuts off Nemu and tries to tell himself his feelings.
