Shoji was born in Sendai, Japan. He began drawing and painting in his early years and later relocated towards Tokyo where he pursued studies in fine art. He worked as an apprentice with Jiro Takamatsu, a modern artist working in Japan in the 1960s and the 1970s. Shoji spent an entire three-year period in Takamatsu’s Studio making conceptual art. Believing in the growing political turmoil in Japan and enthused by the prospect of opportunity overseas, Shoji moved to the United States in 1973 to go to college and further develop his artistic growth. He went to Los Angeles Trade-Technical College (L.A. Trade- Tech) where was a fashion designer. While a student, Shoji worked as an apprentice with Costume creator Bill Whitten. Shoji worked with Whitten who designed costumes for musicians such as Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, The Jacksons as well as Earth, Wind, & Fire. After graduation, Shoji worked for designer-turned-critic Richard Blackwell.

Shoji created his brand eponymous in the year 1982. He said he was inspired to venture out on his own after noticing that women were left with few options on the market today for dress for special occasions. Because of his expertise as an artist as well as his business acumen the designer created a whole new type of formal wear. He combined stretch fabrics with elegant, easy-to-wear silhouettes, and also incorporated exquisite dressmaking techniques and skilled engineering, allowing for garments to be produced in mass quantities and tailored to suit any body. Shoji is famous for creating clothes for everyone of all ages, all races, and for all types of figures. Shoji employs techniques to flatter the figure including draping pintucks, and ruching to emphasize the positives. His signature pieces include draped Jersey gowns and pleated chiffon gowns along with shutter pleated cocktails. His categories of brand include bridal, evening wear and plus-size dresses, children’s shapewear, fragrance, and intimate clothing.

Shoji opened his first signature boutique at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California in 2004. He has since opened boutiques in Las Vegas, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and two more in California. Unfortunately, as of September 2019, only his South Coast Plaza and Fashion Show Mall locations remain.
