Japanese name:	三宅 しのぶ
Nickname:	Atarus girlfriend

Ataru's childhood friend and classmate. Until Lum showed up she was also Ataru’s girlfriend. She is a neat, clean, sweet, and petite young lady (her name means "patience" in Japanese). Not long after Lum showed up Shinobu began to develop super-human strength. In the third movie, she lost her super strength when Lum left Earth, suggesting that Lum is the source of her strength. Like most female members of her class she has a huge crush on Mendou. She is often part of a "foursome" consisting of Ataru, Lum, Shuutaro, and herself. By the end of the series, however, she'd finally given up on Shuutaro(espicially since she found out that he is engaged to Asuka), thinking herself a likely "old maid", until she met a young boy in a rabbit suit named Inaba, who she later goes steady with.
