In 1992, Shinohara began starring as Sailor Jupiter, one of the major characters in the first anime adaptation of Sailor Moon.[9] Megan Peters of ComicBook.com that "her work on Sailor Moon helped kickstart one of anime's most magical stories ... Shinohara brought that headstrong performance to life with ease."[9] In addition to Sailor Jupiter, she also voiced other background characters.[9]

In addition to Sailor Jupiter, she also voiced Presea in Magic Knight Rayearth, Kaho Mizuki in Cardcaptor Sakura, Charlotte Elbourne in Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000), Ophelia in Claymore, and Kushina Uzumaki in Naruto: Shippuden[5][10] She also voiced Agarte Lindblum in the video game Tales of Rebirth and Bakuryū Pteranodon in the tokusatsu series Bakuryū Sentai Abaranger.[11] She would often voice "older sister" or "mother" characters in anime.[7] In the last few years of her career, she reprised her role as Kaho in the 2018 sequel series Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card,[5] and she voiced Sachiko in the 2020 film A Whisker Away.[9]

Her husband was tokusatsu actor Hiroshi Watari.[11] She had an older brother.[12] She also shared the same birthday as her Sailor Moon co-star Rika Fukami, and there was even a joint birthday concert for the two.[13]
