Madam Shijimi is the wife of the daimyou of the Land of Fire. Team Kakashi in Part I and Team Ebisu in Part II are assigned to find her lost cat, Tora, soon after becoming genin.

She has been described as spendthrift, vain, and philanthropistic. She also loves her cat a lot, although the cat clearly does not share the same degree of affection to her.

Madam Shijimi is a corpulent woman with dark brown hair that she keeps in three separate poofs. She wears pink lipstick, pink nail-polish and purple eyeshadow. She also wears many different colored rings.
