Shimano's interest in anime began at a young age when she watched Ojamajo Doremi on television. When she was in elementary she was fond of watching Gokujō!! Mecha Mote Iinchō and Kirarin Revolution among other series on television, as well as reading Naruto and Gintama. She began considering herself an otaku after becoming a fan of the anime adaptations of Gintama and The Prince of Tennis. She would also follow their reruns on television and their stage plays.[2]
Her interest in voice acting developed after researching about the series The Beast Player on the internet and discovering that Kenichi Suzumura, who voiced Ial, also voiced Sougo Okita in Gintama. She was further encouraged to pursue voice acting after her classmates left her messages encouraging to do so in their graduation yearbook.[2] Shimano became affiliated with the talent agency Axl-One in 2019.[3]
Shimano has certifications in bookkeeping and information processing. She cites eating, collecting Shiba Inu figures, and visiting shrines and temples as among her hobbies. She can play the trombone.
