Shiratori Bunpei - a 41-year-old health-services government employee from Inba Village, Chiba Prefecture. He is a track and field athlete specializing in the triple jump; he even competes in his track uniform. He debuted in the 9th Competition (failing the Warped Wall in the 1ST Stage), but did not compete in the 10th because he wasn't one of the 100 contestants selected.

In 2005, his height and weight were recorded as 175cm (5 feet, 9 inches) and 66kg (146 pounds).

He reached the FINAL Stage in the 12th competition, his only time doing so, and timed out on the Final Rope. In the 14th Competition, he was officially named an All-Star, however he shocked many when he failed the Balance Tank in the 2ND Stage. During the 15th Competition, Bunpei overcame heat exhaustion to complete the 1ST Stage and advance to the Climbing Bars in the 3RD Stage; temperatures that day were reportedly at 38 °C (100 °F).

He is best known for having built a full-sized self-replica model of the course in his backyard known as the Shiratori Shrine, where he trains. He often invites the other SASUKE All-Stars to train there, and even invited the first G4 American Ninja Challenge finalists, Colin Bell and Brett Sims, to his course in 2007. Unfortunately, due to a back injury, Shiratori was unable to compete in SASUKE 20, but did return in SASUKE 21, where he ended up failing the Downhill Jump in the 2ND Stage. As of 2008, Shiratori completed the 1ST Stage 8 times, the 2ND Stage 5 times, and the 3RD Stage once.
