One of his many jokes in the series is dressing up as a movie character whenever Hiroshi and his family comes to visit them, such as Neo from The Matrix or Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Another running gag in the series is that whenever he announces to the family that he would visit them (either by phone or post), then he suddenly appears out of nowhere afterwards, shocking the family.  In the Taylor Media version, Shin discovers that he's a coke junkie.

A white, fluffy pup Shin-chan found in a cardboard box early in the series. While a beloved member of the family, he is the subject of neglect thanks to his owner's forgetfulness and short attention-span. He is a very intelligent dog, often presenting logic and intellect that surpasses his human owners. As his meals from the Nohara's are at best inconsistent, and at worst far-between, he has developed a venerable talent for forging and scavenging to survive days without meals. An oddly human dog, he is very responsible and painstakingly careful.
