Shinbo quickly becomes Hideki's best friend once Hideki moves into the same apartment complex as him. He is quite knowlegdable when it comes to Persocoms, which ends up in Hideki turning to him whenever he needs help with Chii. He has his own Persocom named Sumomo (Plum). He also attends to the same cram school as Hideki, and ends up being involved with his teacher, Takako Shimizu, when he finds her in a park after being locked out by her husband, who was too involved with his own Persocom.

In the future, personal computers have developed into "Persocoms", mobile computers that look like human beings. Hideki Motosuwa, a prep school student, desperately wants to buy a Persocom but cannot afford to. One day he finds a Persocom that has been thrown away and decides to keep it. When he turns on the Persocom, all she can say is "Chii" so he decides to name her that. After a while it starts to become apparent that Chii is more than an average Persocom. Having much better performance, it seems that Chii might be a "Chobit", a type of advanced Persocom rumored to have independent thought.<br><br>

After moving from the countryside into the big city, poor college student Hideki Motosuwa finds himself down on his luck. All he wants is a good job, a girlfriend, and his very own “persocom” - the latest and greatest in humanoid computer technology. Hideki’s luck changes one night when he finds Chi - an adorable, but seemingly broken, persocom thrown out in a pile of trash. After taking her home, Hideki discovers that Chi is more responsibility than he expected - and that there’s much more to his cute new persocom than meets the eye. <br><br>(Source: Kodansha USA)
