==History==
===Ultraman: Rising===
When Shimura first appears in the film, the Yomiuri Giants are facing harsh criticism from sports commentators due to their long-standing failure to win the Japan Series. However, the arrival of American baseball player Ken Sato is set to change this situation drastically. Initially, Ken, with his distinctly different demeanor and arrogance as an American player, does not impress Shimura. Shimura warns Ken that there is no place for his "performance" on the team and expresses his dislike for Ken's arrogance, believing that a lack of humility will be his downfall. He tells Ken that attitude alone is not enough to become a Giants player. Ken arrogantly responds, "I stopped believing in Giants a long time ago," interrupting Shimura.
Later, as a coach, Shimura participates in the Giants' first baseball game against the Tokyo Yakult Swallows at the New Tokyo Dome. However, the game is abruptly halted by the intervention of Gigantron. Despite the severe kaiju disaster, when Shimura is interviewed by the news, he states regarding the Tokyo Dome being affected by the kaiju, "We have decided that even if battles occur, the stadium remains safe and will continue to host games."
In the following period, the Giants frequently held baseball games, but Ken's repeated failures led the team to suffer a ten-game losing streak. Midway through the season, the Giants were still struggling and performing poorly, facing public criticism from fans. Witnessing Ken's performance, an angry Shimura demanded he come to his office and warned him that if he didn't start performing better, he would be sent to the Hanshin Tigers.
As Ken's attitude gradually changed, the Giants turned their six-game losing streak into a winning streak, eventually securing the top spot in the season and locking in a playoff berth. The team's internal atmosphere also began to transform, with Ken's positive performance bringing the team together.
In the film's conclusion, through Ami Wakita's interview, it is revealed that the Giants finally won their first championship title in years by the end of the season. This achievement was made possible by Ken's contributions, which significantly improved the team's performance. Shimura had spoken with her, stating, "Ken Sato might be the finest player I’ve ever coached. He exemplifies what it means to be a Giant."
