AI Shano Himegami (D4DJ) Voice

Himegami Shano (姫神紗乃?) is a secondary character in the D4DJ franchise. She is a member of the groups Lynx Eyes and Call of Artemis and the former producer of Photon Maiden. A legendary diva who once stood on stage with Airi at D4 FES. On the surface, she is strict and cool, but she is compassionate and attentive. After a period of overworking, she left the public eye and worked behind the scenes as a producer for Photon Maiden, but is now back in active service as Call of Artemis. Eight years prior to the events of the main story, Shano belonged to a unit comprised of Airi, Mana, and Toka. They were incredibly popular, which led to talent agencies contacting them. Both she and Toka had always planned on pursuing a career in the music industry, yet they were hesitant to go on without their newfound friends. However, they accepted the offer at the insistence of Airi and Mana, which led to the unit's disbandment and the formation of the professional unit Lynx Eyes.[1] Some time later, fate would bring Airi and Shano together once more when they performed together at D4 FES.[2] Shano is a mature, cool and level-headed woman. Due to her formal personality she often comes off as strict and stoic, which can lead to misunderstandings about her as a person. In reality, deep down Shano is a very kind and compassionate individual who cares deeply for those around her. This is made especially obvious in the Voice of a Goddess -Sing for You- event, when her inner monologue shows her thinking very affectionately and fondly towards Airi, as opposed to the casual, yet close relationship they are shown to have. Outside of her affection and deep care for Call of Artemis and Photon Maiden, she manages to have a very heartwarming scene when she forms an unlikely friendship with Michiru (whom it is implied she sees her younger self in) as they bond over similar experiences.[3] Despite her personality not giving off this impression, Mana states that she is shy, although said shyness is only shown around the fellow members of Call of Artemis.[4] Such as in the Call of Artemis main story when Shano admits she had to overcome her embarrassment in order to tell Mana she's happy that she's back, or in Airi's 2023 birthday conversation when Mana teases Shano for not knowing how to use a fryer and she becomes very embarrassed. Additionally Mana describes both Shano and Airi as competitive and sore losers, and Airi believes that Shano is neurotic, and that being her being too hard on herself is the problem.[5]
