**Hiromi Higa** (比嘉 (ひが)  広海 (ひろみ) , *Higa Hiromi*?), known in "S" as **Shadow** (シャドウ, *Shadō*?), is a character in the SK8 the Infinity anime series.

## Apariencia

Shadow es un hombre muscular y alto. with a tattoo that has the stylized letters "SD" (presumably for his skater name) on his left bicep, and bright orange spiky/mohawk hair accompanied by his white foundation makeup, green eyeliner and purple lipstick. He dresses in stereotypical heavy rocker fashion, donning a sleeveless cropped-like black top with grey-white fringes on its collar, some fitted black pants, a few black spiky collars wrapped around his arms and waist and a ragged/half-torn cape with black being its outer color and purple as its inner.

## Personalidad

In his normal life as a florist, Shadow looks friendly and is kind to the shop's customers. However, entering the middle of the night and attending S, he changes his attitude to be arrogant, bad, and rude which is presumed to be his outlet whenever he experiences unpleasant things during the day. For example, someone complains about his flowers or a canceled flower order. Though he is introduced as an antagonist (and still never quits his morally dubious skating antics), Shadow gradually becomes part of the protagonists' circle as a mentor figure after he gets closer to Reki and co. Despite his outward protests, Shadow gives the student skaters rides in his car and takes them out to eat, and becomes something like an older brother figure to Miya. Shadow is also the first to warn the group about Adam, as while he himself often performs dirty tricks--such as throwing firecrackers that are likely to hurt his opponent--he states that he is different from the legendary founder of S.

## Resumen

Shadow works at flower shop were he is kind but In S he is known as Lord Shadow with many dirty tricks. At the beginning of the series he picks at Reki and Langa but as series continue he is more friendly towards them. In Episode 6 he says the reason why he is going to Miyakojima is because he is babysitting Miya, Langa and Reki.
