Shima

Shima (志麻) is an who began covering in 2010. He has a sexy and confident voice, but did not use it frequently during his initial period as an utaite; in the beginning, he primarily sung parody songs, most of them Gintama versions. He often uses high tones and changes to random types of voices within a parody cover. This style leads people to think that he does not sing seriously though it is also the reason for his popularity.
However, after Shima got his renown, he stopped singing parody songs. He now sings in lower tones than before with a substantial amount of vibrato, though he possesses a wide vocal range, as seen in his cover of "Ai no Scenario" .
Shima frequently voice acts in his covers. His cover of "Koshitantan" is a notable example of this with him voicing 17 anime characters. It is also his highest viewed voice acting cover, at over 1M views as of 2020. His highest rated singing cover as of current is the cover for Hated By Life Itself sitting at 3.1M views on his Youtube channel as of 2021.
Shima has a close relationship with Uratanuki, Aho no Sakata, and Senra. They team up for a group named UraShimaSakataSen, sing together and often meet each other in real life.
After 5 years in the community, Shima finally began releasing solo albums in April 2018.
