One of the earliest and most influential artists in all of pop'n music, shio is responsible for many of the character design changes that went on throughout the series, starting with [[PnM_AC_5|pop'n music 5]]. The characters' designs slowly changed from their early, ''beatmania''-like appearances (which she also did the designs in) to a livelier, anime-inspired look. At her peak she was doing as much as half the character designs a game.
One of the earliest and most influential artists in all of pop'n music, Tomoko Shiono has been around since the series' beginning, where she started out design work for the character, and moved up to became an artist for [[PnM_AC_2|pop'n music 2]]. Afterwards Tomoko worked on ''beatmania 5thMIX'', ''beatmania complete MIX2'', and ''beatmania ClubMIX'' as a graphic designer. In late 2000 she returned to pop'n music again in [[PnM_AC_5|pop'n music 5]], and has worked consistently on the franchise since. At her peak Tomoko did as many as half to two-thirds of the character designs per pop'n music game.


shio has also done videos for beatmania IIDX on and off since [[AC 8th style|8th style]], mostly for [[Jun Wakita|wac]] songs. All her videos feature 2-D artwork, and all except [[Votum stellarum]] and [[Rin to shite saku hana no gotoku|凛として咲く花のごとく]] thank her under other different aliases. She's also done a few videos for the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series as well.
