About Takashi Shirogane
Takashi Shirogane was once an exploration pilot for the Galaxy Garrison traveling to Pluto’s moon. While eventually reported missing by pilot error, Shiro and crew had actually been abducted by a passing Galra ship that was scouting for signs of Voltron around the solar system. After being taken, Shiro was sent to become a fighter in Emperor Zarkon’s Gladiatorial Arena.
Shiro is a natural born leader and knows how to stay calm in almost any situation he encounters. While he may be commanding in situations, Shiro is actually relatively kind-hearted and sensitive to the struggles of those around him. One reoccurring issue Shiro faces is his time spent as a gladiator. Because of all the things he experienced during that time, he suffers from a degree of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
