Alright so I made my own version of mama Shimada, since it feels like she doesn't exist with in the lore of overwatch and that there's no mention of her what so ever. So I like to introduce my version of Mrs.Shimada. A.K.A Asumi Shimada (Tanaka) Anyways she went through a few changes, At first I wanted to make her Yakuza born but noticed that a few people had some similar ideas too that so I decided to make a twist.
The things that I like to mention is that 1. Asumi was very close to both Hanzo and Genji which is why I think both brothers don't have motherly issues unlike there father 2. She loved Sojiro and son's deeply with all of her heart
3. She knew what she was signing up for when she married Sojiro ~~~ So headcanon time on how Sojiro and Asumi met for the very first time since I will die on this hill about this.
Asumi was born middle class working as a waitress in a restaurant but more in the run down parts
How she met Sojiro was nothing but a mere coincidence as he spotted her threatening a guy with a butcher knife of all things which made him fall for her very hard on the spot.
The first time she met him she thought Sojiro was some douche bag thinking he was better than everyone
When she found out he was a crimelord usually everyone would ask for forgiveness and apologise but not her since she still found him as a douche bag
When Sojiro asked her hand for marriage she basically laughed in his face and rejected him in front of the elders since was very out of the blue
She did feel bad because she saw how serious Sojiro was so she give him a chance but only told him he needed to take her out on a few dates before jumping into marriage to which he agreed
Asumi was very much impressed by how determine Sojiro was and took her all out on fancy date's even though she needed to tell him that she preferred casual dates than all fancy ones so but none the less she grew fond of him
On their last date she basically just leaned her head on his shoulder and confessed too him that maybe they can get married which made him excited.
Thus the two got married with in a few months or more had their wedding and of course it was success
though a brand new change for Asumi but none less she learnt how to adapt to the changes within her life before her untimely passing .
~~~~~ So with that out of the way I do think that's how both of them met with Sojiro really wanting to marry her, showing how determine he was since I do think he loved her truly.
I do also believe like I said that my version of mama Shimada is that she also fell for Sojiro after a few dates, though with her sudden passing it really affected Sojiro, Hanzo and Genji all at once.
