Shimako is a recurring NPC in qxy's work.
Interaction
Shimako makes appearances in several of qxy's worlds, starting from Adabana Gardens. With each subsequent appearance, she appears to grow older, eventually reaching adulthood by the time the player reaches Rainy Apartments.
She is first seen briefly in an unreachable area of Adabana Gardens as a child carrying a red schoolbag as she walks off-screen.
In Reflecting Electron Zone however, Shimako is initially invisible until the player uses the Crossing effect, revealing her physical appearance--here, she appears older, likely as an adolescent or college-aged young adult. She is seen with a stack of red, green, and blue books balanced on her head, which the player may take from her, making her impossible to locate without using Crossing. If the player has taken a hat from Home Within Nowhere, they may swap it for her books.
Shimako makes her final appearance in Rainy Apartments as a fragmented, perhaps ghostly figure. Once the elevator doors have opened, she may be found in the bed.
Appearance
Shimako is an average-looking girl with long, dark hair, black eyes, and a fair complexion. She wears a black & white striped t-shirt or tank top, and a black skirt with red detailing. As an adolescent or young adult, she appears to be wearing red earrings.

Trivia
- There exists a full-bodied version of the graphic of Shimako seated in the chair in the balcony of Rainy Apartments, where she appears to be smoking a cigarette. As of now, it is unknown if or how this is triggered.
- Shimako's behavior in Reflecting Electron Zone is likely a reference to that of Mafurako of the original Yume Nikki.
- It is implied that the Home Within Nowhere is where Shimako lives or had lived, as indicated by her belongings being present in the bedroom, where one may see her striped shirt and red schoolbag.
- In the RPGmaker data for Field of Cosmos, she is scripted to make an appearance albeit without her schoolbag and with closed eyes, likely to indicate that she has grown older, but her event tile is also scripted to quickly vanish from sight as she does in Adabana Gardens. Her location within this area in-game is currently unknown.
