Timeline

*From September to October 1996, a rumor that he had died was circulated.

Anecdotes

*His stage name "Ken" comes from his father's name nihongo|"Kenji"|憲司. His father worked as a vice-principal in an elementary school and Shimura was brought up in a strict family. However, his father suffered from dementia since he was involved in a car accident in front of their home when Ken was in Junior High.

*In April 2005, during the demonstrations in China against Japan becoming a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a photograph of his face was put on a website for the Chinese anti-Japanese movement for reasons that are unclear.

*He is well-known not only in Japan, but also in Taiwan, Thailand, and India. It is also notable that Takeshi Kaneshiro is a fan of his.

*Shimura severely criticized former co-star Masashi Tashiro after Tashiro's arrest, saying, "I want that fellow to disappear from the entertainment world because he did a pathetic thing."
