Shiro Shinobi

The pro-bending announcer is a man who provides commentary on pro-bending matches through the radio.

History

It is unknown when this man started his career as an announcer, but he was working when Avatar Korra listened and watched her first pro-bending match which was the match between the Fire Ferrets and the Tigerdillos. He witnessed Mako's extraordinary one-against-three win. He also witnessed Korra's pro-bending debut. He commentated that Korra wasn't a expert pro-bender and announced through the radio to all listeners present that she was the Avatar, which was how Tenzin found out that Korra had escaped to the pro-bending ring. He watched as Korra displayed some fancy maneuvers which were actually airbending movements which made Tenzin realize that pro-bending helped Korra learn airbending. The announcer witnessed the Fire Ferrets making it to the championships.

Trivia

He also talks during the shortened version of the opening sequence in Legend of Korra in the style of a newsreel, similar to the Previously on Avatar opening in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
