Hideo Shimazu is a character from the Rival Schools series.
== Charactah Account ==
A Japanese language instructor at Justice High, Hideo is sent out along with Kyoko to recruit students for the fledgling Justice High. When he and Kyoko start questioning the means for their recruitment and bring it up with the principal Raizo, they are defeated by him and brainwashed by Hyo into unquestioning servants of Justice High. Students from Taiyo High snap him out of it, and he helps snap Kyoko out of it as well (or the other way around). After Hyo and Raizo are defeated, Hideo confesses his feelings for Kyoko and proposes to her, which she accepts. In Project Justice a random attack from Gedo High students concerns the pair and they join fellow teacher Hayato in looking into the cause of the new school violence. Hideo is injured during their investigation, but it does not stop Kyoko in reminding him of their wedding.

== Trivia ==
* As mentioned above, Hideo's fighting style, Shimazu Style Karate, is very similar to Ansatsuken, the fictional fighting style used by "Shoto" characters such as Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Gouken in the Street Fighter series.
** This is referenced in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom in Batsu's winquote against Ryu, thinking that he (Ryu) is using the Shimazu Style Karate.
** Batsu eventually makes the same reference as a post-battle victory quote in Project X Zone when paired with the team of Ryu and Ken.
* Hideo wears shoulder pads that looks similar to those of M. Bison (also from the Street Fighter series), which he rarely takes off. He is even seen wearing them while swimming in the School Life Mode of Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2.
* Aside from karate, Hideo is also good at laundry and cooking.
* Little is known about Hideo's home life, since he lives alone at a dojo in Kyushu.
* Hideo appears as one of the instructors in the School Life Mode in Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2 during the Dodge and Hit mini-game. The only way to raise the character's stat is to avoid Hideo's Seihaken in both ground and mid-air and attack him with a single basic attack.
* His official epithet is "Mobile Teacher".
* Hideo was voiced by the late Tetsuo Mizutori.
