白部 照代

Magazine journalist.

She's very inquisitive, and can't help but investigate when something piques her interest. Her guiding principle is "in-your-face journalism." To not get underestimated for being a woman, she takes a bullish approach to interviewing.

On one hand, she worries that her name sounds outdated, but on the other hand she also takes pride in having a name that clearly describes her (Note: Her name, "Shirabe Teruyo", can be read as "I'm investigating" in Japanese). Her odd name is often mistaken for a pseudonym.
