[edit] About
Shinobu is Ataru Moroboshi's childhood friend and classmate at Tomobiki High School, Class 2-4. Usually very calm and quite normal compared to the rest of the cast, when angry she seems to become superhumanly strong and throws large objects, usually a desk around the scene. This aspect of Shinobu has even been relied upon by the others during some serious situations. A neat and clean young lady, she has horrible luck with men, usually only attracting monsters and perverts. Her catchphrase is Men are such wimps! (男ぬぁんてぇーーー, Otoko nan tē~?).
[edit] Relationships
At first Shinobu was Ataru's girlfriend. When Ataru was selected to go against the Oni princess Lum in a game of tag with the fate of the Earth on the line she promised to marry him if he won. But when Ataru caught Lum he shouted "Now I can get married", which Lum mistook as a proposal to herself, and their engagement began. For a while after this there was a love triangle between the three of them, but when Shuutarou Mendou transferred to Tomobiki, Shinobu fell for him (as did all of the other female students) and completely gave up on Ataru. But Mendou was in love with Lum so nothing ever developed between the two of them. Finally, near the end of the series, she meets Inaba from the Fate Production Bureau.
In his second appearance, Inaba asks Shinobu to help him recover a flower from the space-time forest while it blooms, as he needs to bring a girl with him. They go through many obsticles but the flower isn't blooming when they make it. However, when Inaba reveals that the only reason he undertook the task in the first place was to spend time with Shinobu, the flower blooms, true love being its "fertiliser". After that, the two begin dating and are often seen drinking tea together at coffee houses.
