Japanese businessman and official. He was a confidant of Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida and served as a liaison between Japanese cabinet and the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers during the American occupation of Japan.
Shirasu attended Hyogo Prefectural Kobe High School and graduated in 1921. Afterwards he went to England to further his studies at Cambridge University at the urging of his father. By his own account, Shirasu was a troublemaker in his youth and him studying abroad had been arranged by his father as a form of "exile."
Admitted to Clare College in April 1923 to read medieval history. His best friend at Cambridge was Robert Cecil Byng, nephew of Edmund Byng, 6th Earl of Strafford, and later the 7th Earl. Shirasu adopted the style and manners of an English gentleman. He also cultivated a passion for cars, acquiring both a Bentley 3 Litre and a Bugatti Type 35. During winter break in 1925 he made a tour of the European continent together with Byng in his Bentley, driving down to Gibraltar and back.
Lived at 2 Petty Cury during his stay at Clare.
