The original shimeji-making Java program was created by Yuki Yamada of Group Finity. It is easier to make shimejis if the characters already exist in a graphic format, like in video game, comics or webcomic fandoms, but shimeji for live-action series like Sherlock (BBC) or Supernatural also exist. They are extremely popular in anime fandoms such as Hetalia or Pokémon, but are also found in other types of fandoms like Homestuck or X-Men. A search on DeviantART for "shimeji" in October 2011 produced nearly eight thousand results. Many fanartists create fandom-specific shimeji, which can then be downloaded and installed by other fans. A shimeji is a small, animated chibi version of a character that appears on the user's computer desktop, moves around, and is adorable.
