Past
Zirko was one of Patch Officiants responsible for the Shaman Fight in AD 1500. After Fra YVS won and became Shaman King, Zirko and his fellow officiants converted to YVS' religion, following the tribe's laws, and became the Knights Templar, with Zirko and Gali becoming the vice captains of the Divine Guard.

During the 500 years in the Great Spirit, the Knights Templar became a biker gang and opened the bar, Patcy Cat.

Through dimensional shifting, the Knights Templar were manifested physically into the world. After Thorim retrieved a piece of YVS' power from Asakura Yohkyo, the Knights escorted Kamogawa Yohsuke to Kyoto Tower for the meeting of Team YVS.

Trivia

 * Like the other Patch Tribe members, Zirko's name is derived from an element from the periodic table; his name is derived from zirconium.
 * Initially shown in a jacket with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, Zirko's outfit was later changed to a vest, similar to some of the other Knights.
