ShizuKari

ShizuKari is the femslash ship between Shizuku Osaka and Karin Asaka from the Love Live! fandom.

Canon
Shizuku Osaka and Karin Asaka are the students of Nijigasaki High School. Although the two never interacted, they both know that the former school idol club was disbanded by Setsuna Yuki during its break, with Shizuku being the former member of the club and Karin heard the news from Emma Verde who was also the former member. After Kasumi Nakasu formed a friendship with Yu Takasaki, they invited former members of the club (in case for Karin, she was presumably invited by Emma) for a meeting outside the campus to discuss about the reestablishment of the school idol club and getting Setsuna return to the club. When Karin formally joined the club, however they rarely interact aside from getting along in a few moments like standing together at Rina's concert, and Karin applauds Kanata and Shizuku after the group comforts her before her solo concert. In the School Idol Festival, Karin appproaches Kasumi and Skizuku to talk about the upcoming collab set with Shinonome Academy, however it was postponed due to unexpected rain. Luckily the rain stopped pouring down to resume their final performance with the entire group.

Sometime after the formal announcement of the 2nd Festival, Shizuku and Karin are slowly forming their friendships. At the QU4RTZ and Y.G. International Academy collab event, the two compliment at the group's successfull concert how they performed better than them. On the other day, the two are seen fixing various costumes alongside Ayumu, with them working together on Karin's "VIVID WORLD" outfit. Around winter season, Kasumi suggests a slumber party at Shizuku's home to welcome their new members Shioriko, Mia, and Lanzhu where the entire club members, including Karin, are invited. At the party, Karin and Shizuku dines together in the afternoon and participated in singing the group's new single "Love U my friends".

After the success of Nijigasaki's "First Live With You" concert, their bond has finally reached the point. Shizuku and Karin were at the food court to discuss about her interest in the drama club. Karin was looking for other activities apart from modeling. Shizuku hastily offers her a trial membership and she told her they have a story that perfectly suits for her role. Karin gladly accepted her offer.

Fanon
ShizuKari is one of the rarest ship in the Love Live! and Nijigasaki fandom because the two rarely interact each other in ''Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS mobile game and in the anime Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club'' aside from magazine scans where the two are occassionally seen together. Despite the status, some fans has found the potential of the two because Shizuku was the member of the Drama Club and Karin was a model career, and amusingly they both shares similar surnames. That said, the two can be perfect for their respective activities because of their similarities. Fans also points out that they are resposible behind the outfits as seen from the magazines and in some scene where Shizuku and Karin are working together on their outfits. And lastly, this ship has finally sailed in the season finale of Nijigasaki Season 2 where Shizuku and Karin are discussing about the potential acting for the drama club.

This ship formed a mutual ship with other least popular Nijigasaki ships, however it is heavily rivaled by KasuShizu, ShizuPrez, EmmaKari, and KanaKari because of their popularity among some diehard shippers.

Trivia

 * Amusingly, both shares almost the same surnames.
 * In Love Live! School Idol Festival and Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS mobile games, Shizuku and Karin can be formed as a single team using only their cards, and in ALL STARS the two can interact each other in the gameplay/MV of certain songs. Also in ALL STARS, Shizuku and Karin can be formed in the SP gauge to have SP animation of the ship by having 2 Shizuku cards and 1 Karin card or vice versa, provided that the 3D live settings is enabled in the settings.
