Kenichi Shiratori is a supporting character in the anime Barom One, known primarily for his role as the father of the protagonist, Kentaro Shiratori. His background establishes him as a family man living in the Kanto region of Japan, residing with his wife, Mariko, and son, Kentaro. Professionally, he is depicted as a scientist or researcher who works closely with his wife. In the series, his analytical skills are put to use when the Taiyo City Police Department requests Mariko's help to analyze monster DNA; in tandem, Kenichi traces the movement of energy throughout the city, discovering a direct link between these energy fluctuations and the appearance of the monsters. This investigative work highlights his role as a crucial figure in understanding the alien threat.

Kenichi's personality is not extensively detailed in available information, but his actions demonstrate a logical and determined individual. He takes the threat posed by the evil spirit Gomon seriously and actively contributes to solving the mystery behind the monster attacks rather than remaining a passive observer. His role in the story is largely defined by his relationship with his son, Kentaro. He is a protective father whose endangerment serves as a powerful motivator for Kentaro to accept his responsibility as a hero. In one instance, an old car possessed by Gomon attacks Kenichi, an event that Kentaro takes as a personal offense, pushing him to embrace his duty to fight. Later in the series, Kenichi is hospitalized, and his son, along with friends, visits him, further emphasizing his importance as a figure who is both vulnerable and central to the protagonist's emotional drive.
