He is also known to have artistic talent in drawing. He has published two books on his arts, Shingo no Itazura and Snap of Shingo.
Katori was also once well known by children and housewives for cross-dressing as the character "Shingo Mama" (慎吾ママ?) on the variety show Sata Suma; he even released a top-selling CD single "Shingo Mama no Oha Rock" (慎吾ママのおはロック?), done in character. Shingo Mama's trademark phrase was "Ohhā!" (morning!). From 2000-2001, Shingo Mama promoted the use of Ohha as part of a Ministry of Education campaign to encourage family communication.
