James Shirogane

James Shirogane is one of the main characters of The Wonderful 101. He is a principle member of the CENTINELS Planetary Secret Service, and the chief of the CENTINELS Central Science Research Center. Much of the defensive network and offensive weaponry available to the Wonderful 101 derive from his research; he is considered a master in electrical engineering and "applied action mechatronics", and is responsible for the development of a central "mother computer" called Mother Platinum, the CENTINEL-Suits, and the flagship Virgin Victory.

Shirogane is best known for the alternative source of energy, the Shirogane Drive, which he proposed as a research assistant. After the two Earth Defense Wars, he has closed himself off in his laboratory, researching new ways to fight off the GEATHJERK. He is considered a living legend, and many in his team has affectionately nicknamed him "Jimmy".
