When her parents went through their divorce, she expected to leave town with one of them. She chooses instead to become a resident at the Hinata House.

Biography

Early Life

Almost nothing is known about Shinobu's life before she moved to Hinata-Sou.

Life at Hinata

Shinobu initially met Keitaro Urashima when she was crying n the bridge leading into Hinata. Keitaro draws a flattering sketch of her that is misinterpreted as mocking when she accidentally sees it. He flees, leaving behind his sketchbook on accident. She finds her way to the apartments to return him his sketchbook, against the wishes of her mother, who initially forbids her from being there because of her view that it is filled with "immoral girls". Naru Narusegawa and Mitsune Konno cause a commotion over the book when they take a peek at some of the racier drawings inside, making Shinobu cry and run away. She eventually returns to the apartments to escape the tension surrounding her parents' tumultuous divorce, and tells them that she wants to stay as the Hinata House cook to earn her keep.
