Shinkoda has also appeared as recurring character Nobu on Marvels Daredevil, which is distributed via Netflix.

Shinkoda was born and raised in Montreal. Though family and friends encouraged him to be practical and pursue a career in engineering or medicine, he was focused on an entertainment career from a young age. His first attempt at acting came when he forced his parents to drive six hours to Toronto to attend an international casting call for the role of Short Round in Steven Spielbergs film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The audition led nowhere at the time, leaving Shinkoda to focus on sports, excelling at hockey, skiing, football, baseball, soccer and judo. He also studied classical piano and was identified as one of the top young pianists in Canada by the time he wasyears old. He also has a brother named Dean.
