Known for her role of Mayumi Nagamine in Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995) and Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999), Shinobu, like her older sister, Miho, started out her career as a musician and became successful when she became part of a music group called Rakutenshi. In the early 1990s Shinobu started a career in acting. She was cast in the Jet Li movie Fist of Legend, a remake of the Bruce Lee film Fist of Fury.
