Appearance

Shiho is never shown on the page, so no account of her looks exists. She remains an entirely off-screen figure, known by name alone.

Personality

Because she appears only in references made by others, Shiho carries no depicted personality or dialogue. Everything about her is secondhand, filtered through the comments of those who bring her up.

History

Shiho enters the conversation in the wake of Light's first kiss with Misa Amane, when Ryuk brings up both her and another girl, Emi, as people Light had previously dated. Supplementary material adds a barbed note: in her personal love diary, Misa lists Shiho among rivals she counts herself as having bested, dismissing any girl who never appeared outright as an automatic loser.
