ShadOka

Hiromi x Oka is the slash ship between Hiromi Higa and Shokichi Oka from the SK8 the Infinity fandom.

Canon
They don't interact at the beginning of the anime, but it's known that Oka was the one who drove Reki Kyan to his beef with Shadow, and he seemed very worried about Reki's injuries while he recalls him that Reki himself was fine with the beef with Shadow, and Reki just says back that he still sucked at skating.

At the end credits of the 12th episode (the last one from the anime), Hiromi is seen offering Oka flowers inside a pot as Oka seems to hesitate at the offer. Shokichi seemed to accept the gift, because a moment later he's seen with the flowers on his hand while spectating with Reki how Sketchy was on Miya's skateboard and was about to get kicked out by Kaoru.

Fanon
It was a crackship when the show started, almost inexistent, because of their lack of interactions since the beginning of the anime. The ship was getting a bit more known when the 12th was released, as some fans noticed how Shadow was giving flowers to Oka, implying that he might had a crush on him. Only few fans noticed the moment, but with the time, a lot of fans were already aware of the scene and enjoying it.

Fans theorize that Hiromi could had a "thing" on managers, since when Hiromi got rejected by the florist manager from where Hiromi worked, he inmediately moved to another one, with this being Shokichi Oka. He's also implied being gay or bisexual, but the headcanon of him being bisexual is more accepted in the fandom, though it's not very popular because both Hiromi and Oka are underrated characters in the fandom, even though if Hiromi has more screen rather than Oka.

In fan arts, Hiromi is seen with his normal look being flustered around Oka, and he's usually seen offering flowers to him just like the end credits of SK8. Due the lack of popularity, there are only few arts in Tumblr, and few fics on AO3, but it remains as a semi-known ship on the fandom. Despite of being a new ship, it remains as the most popular for Hiromi and Oka, surprisingly surpassing Hiromi x Manager, but there are fans who prefer shipping both ships at the same time.
