Shiina debuted as a model in the fashion magazine Ranzuki in 2009. She modeled exclusively for the fashion magazine Popteen from 2010 to 2016. During middle school Shiina often watched anime and played video games at home due to frequently being suspended for violence such as destroying property and throwing firecrackers. After seeing an application for magazine models she decided to apply to shine somewhere. In 2009 Shiina began appearing in the fashion magazine Ranzuki as an amateur model and subsequently began modeling for other gyaru fashion magazines such as Egg and Mens Egg. From 2010 to 2016 she modeled exclusively for the fashion magazine Popteen under the nickname Pikarin. While modeling for Popteen Shiinas cosplay photoshoots of anime characters went viral notably during a time where there was no crossover between gyaru fashion and anime. In 2012 Shiina made her singing debut under the name Pikarin Shiina and branded herself as an idol from the Demon World. Shiina thought up her Pikarin persona while modeling for Popteen. She released her first single Shinryaku Pikarin Densetsu on December 12 2012 which was used as an ending theme to the television program Happy Music. On October 16 2013 Shiina released Toro Amachu as her second single which was used as the theme song for Donyatsu an anime series she also starred in.
