Often misunderstood as cold or intimidating, she is actually a deeply loyal friend who pushed people away to protect them from her own harsh reputation. • Stoic and Pragmatic. Shiho is blunt, serious, and dislikes sugarcoating the truth, especially when it comes to music. She prefers acting alone and rarely cares about rumors or what others think of her. • Secretly Soft-Hearted. Despite her cool exterior, Shiho has a massive soft spot for cute animals and mascots like Phenny, though she gets easily flustered when caught showing it. • Fiercely Loyal.

• Shizuku Hinomori (Older Sister). Shizuku is an idol in MORE MORE JUMP! who dotes on Shiho constantly, much to Shiho's embarrassment. Even though Shiho acts annoyed by Shizuku's clinginess, she deeply appreciates her sister's warmth and quietly looks out for her. • Tsukasa Tenma (Saki's Older Brother). Having known Tsukasa since childhood through Saki, Shiho views him as loud, eccentric, and exhausting. At the same time, she genuinely respects how devoted and reliable he is as an older brother. • Kohane Azusawa & Minori Hanasato. Both were Shiho's classmates during their first year of high school. Shiho bonded with Kohane over their shared passion for music, while Minori's upbeat determination gradually won Shiho's respect. • Airi Momoi. As Shizuku's fellow idol and close friend, Airi frequently helps keep Shizuku grounded. Shiho respects Airi's dependability and feels grateful to her for watching over her sister. • Ichika Hoshino (Guitar & Vocals). Ichika was the only friend who kep
• Self-Imposed Isolation. In middle school, Shiho's bluntness and refusal to slack off led classmates to spread bad rumors about her. To keep her childhood friends Ichika, Honami, and Saki from being dragged down by association, she intentionally distanced herself and pretended she wanted to be left alone. • Musical Clashes and Loneliness. She joined her middle school's light music club hoping to play seriously, only to be kicked out after clashing with members who treated it casually. That rejection made her reluctant to form a band again until Saki returned from the hospital. • Suppressed Vulnerability. Growing up with busy parents and an airheaded older sister, Shiho learned early on to bottle up her sadness and act like the dependable, mature sibling. She struggled to admit how much she missed her friends and wanted to go pro with them.
