Shinobu Nakayama (中山 忍, Nakayama Shinobu, born January 18, 1973 in Koganei, Tokyo, Japan) is an actress[1] and a former J-pop singer. The younger sister of singer and actress Miho Nakayama, she released her first single on 2 November 1988; her final release as a J-pop artist was on 1 March 1991. Nakayama was also a member of the short-lived idol groups Nanatsuboshi and Rakutenshi. She is affiliated with Office Muse.

Known for her role of Mayumi Nagamine in Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995) and Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999), Shinobu, like her older sister, Miho, started out her career as a musician and became successful when she became part of a music group called Rakutenshi. In the early 1990s Shinobu started a career in acting. She was cast in the Jet Li movie Fist of Legend, a remake of the Bruce Lee film Fist of Fury. Shortly afterwards she got the part of Mayumi Nagamine in Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995), revisiting that same role four years later in Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999).
