Shamiko

Yuuko Yoshida is the titular protagonist of the manga Machikado Mazoku (literally "Street Corner Demon"). She is better known for her nickname Shamiko, which stands for "Shadow Mistress Yuuko".

In the fandom, the demon girl exhibits highly moe characteristics, and is commonly associated with the phrase "Ganbare Shamiko", which is most apparent in r/anime. While Shamiko has vocal supporters in the saimoe tournaments, she is a known "jobber" - i.e. regularly losing in the first few rounds, and has been subject to misfortunes at some points, such as falling one round short of the quarter-finals in r/anime's 2019 summer seasonal.
