While it seems that Shikirou does occasionally have yellow new leaves, it seems to be the exception rather than the rule. The type of variegation it is known for is called Koshi-fu 腰斑, variegation that shows up at the base of the leaves near the stem:

Other varieties that have this type of variegation include
Shingetsu,
Hotarusango, and a few others.
Izumibotan is a fun variety that consistently shows both Akebono-fu and Koshi-fu
