her full name isn't "Elena Shimabara"
"Shimabara" is her father's surname, but her full name very much follows brazilian name conventions with her First name + maternal surname + paternal surname... When she started living in Japan, people always had a hard time pronouncing her full name, so she started referring herself as just "Elena Shimabara", thus adopting it as her artistic name.
