Aron Shirako

Spartan Aron Shirako is a supporting protagonist of the fanfiction series the Ronin Chronicles. He is a Spartan-IV Super Soldier and a Generation Three Freelancer under the callsign Agent Japan.

Early Life
Aron Shirako was born on October 30, 2543 grew up on Earth with four brothers and sisters in a suburb in North America. He lived a relatively normal civilian childhood, mainly due to Earth's seclusion from the Human-Covenant war, and developed a strong affinity for Asian martial arts, particularly Eskrima. Also during his childhood, Shirako had a hobby in break-dancing and developed a unique fighting style based on it.

Enlistment
In t the age of eighteen, Shirako enlisted into the UNSC armed forces, and was subsequently added to the Spartan branch. However, after finding that the Spartan branch wasn't really "his style" (he found it boring and that it had too many rules) he left the branch. However, this wasn't before he met and befriended fellow Spartan-IV Zachariah Derekson due to their similar backgrounds and interests.

Following his short term with the Spartans, Shirako was recruited into the third wave Freelancer project. Rather than recieving traditional freelancer training, Shirako instead trained to become a master at a unique style of combat: speed knife close quarters combat, a fighting style that utilizes combat knives and highly agile and acrobatic movements.

Personality
Due to his age, Shirako is often seen as the young, naive, and carefree member of the group. A joker and prankster, he typically serves as the series' main source of comic relief. A sanguine-phlegmatic, he often acts more playful and rarely takes things seriously. While this can usually get on the nerves of the other characters, in reality, they appreciate his quirks and how they manage to keep morale up.

Also, because of his lack of experience (especially in comparison to the others), Shirako also lacks the same trauma and damage that the others have faced. While this does mean he doesn't fully relate to them at times, it does allow him to be far more optimistic and upbeat when the others are not (a trait that has proven somewhat useful).

Physical Abilities
As a Spartan-IV, Shirako is very physically adept at most forms of combat and is very capable at
