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. If the player had encountered her there, she may be found again near the two small temples in Field of Cosmos; while present here, she will not look at Urotsuki, and will only briefly look at her if the Telephone effect is used. She will vanish upon being touched.
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 an invisible figure on the balcony, though only her clothes are visible. Once the elevator doors have opened, she may be found in the bed, and reacts to the Telephone effect by moving slightly, if the player had not chainsawed her. If the player takes the stairs and goes down 8 times, her corpse can be found on the ground; the top floor has a stool or chair, implying that Shimako had jumped to her death.
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. She also appears to be wearing red earrings.
In Rainy Apartments, Shimako loses her original chibi art style and has much more realistic proportions. Her skin appears to be invisible, and only her clothes seem to be visible.

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 brushing her teeth. 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 had lived, as indicated by her belongings being present in the bedroom, where one may see her striped shirt and red schoolbag.
