Personality
Shiho is Kaori Hasegawa's younger sister and is a second year student at Tendo Senior High School. She is a quiet, timid girl.

She can't stand scary stories or situations.
Plot
CORPSE-PARTY
The ten letters reporting a dialogue between two girls can be found in cabinets throughout the game. Although Kaori's or Shiho's names are not specifically addressed, popular fan theory is that they are the authors of these letters. While these letters are not necessary to complete the game, they do give some important hints for progression.
Also her yellow ribbon is a required item needed to complete the game as Yoshiki Kishinuma and Ayumi Shinozaki both need it to pass the incinerator.
CORPSE-PARTY ZERO
Shiho is waiting for the heavy rain to stop at school when her sister Kaori shows up to pick her up and apologizes for being late due to student council meeting being longer than she expected. While they are on their way, Kaori tells Shiho a ghost story, which scared Shiho. Suddenly, they hear a voice asking for help. They initially try to dismiss the voice, but they hear the same voice asking for help again before a sudden power outage followed by an earthquake. Shiho and Kaori then find themselves mysteriously in an abandoned school building. Looking around for clues, they find a newspaper dated September 24th, 1927.
As they explored the abandoned school building, they learned that they were brought to there by a ghost girl who died in the old Kisaragi High, the one who was in Kaori's ghost story.
Corpse Party
Shiho's name tag can be found in the west hall on the first floor in the main building in the fifth chapter. She was immobilized when the tendons in her ankles were cut. Because of that, she died of blood loss.
She is also the author of a number of notes found in front of the custodian's closet in the first and second chapters. She is also a red spirit in chapter two who appears after reading the notes, and the red spirit met in chapter four at the same place in Satoshi Mochida's dimension.
Also there is a message to Shiho, encouraging her to be strong and resist to the darkening, can be found in the abandoned bomb shelter.
Corpse Party: Blood Covered (Manga)
Shiho makes a brief appearance in the 4th Curse "An Invitation to the Living" from the first volume where she was simply called female student (女生徒 jo seito ). Naomi Nakashima and Seiko Shinohara comes across a journal she left behind for her sister where she explains her dire situation.
Corpseparty; Musume
