All over the world, Shimada (シマダ , Shimada , Шимада ) is a rare largely male, but seldom girly forename. The first name Shimada is habitual in Japan, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name, China, where it is a very rare primarily boy's, but scarcely female name, and the United States, where it is an extremely rare unisex name. Much less frequently, Shimada is the last name as well as the forename.
Shimada is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Shimada Kanbei , the fictional character from Samurai 7.
