A minute's silence was held on Centre Court after three people were killed and another three injured in attacks in Nottingham earlier this week.
Two 19-year-old students and a man in his 50s were stabbed to death in the city centre on Tuesday morning.
Shimabukuro, 177th in the world, 26 places below Broady, got the first break in the fifth game, although Broady broke back in the 10th game, but then lost the tie-break.
The pair exchanged breaks of serve at the start of the second set before Shimabukuro moved clear to seal the victory.
Fery, 20, ranked 409th in the world, was up against a player, who, at 95th, is ranked 314 places ahead of him.
The Briton earned his maiden Challenger Tour main-draw victory on Tuesday when he rallied to beat former world number 21 Steve Johnson, but could not repeat that against Koepfer.
The German broke Fery's serve early in both sets with the Briton unable to fight back.

She faces Ukrainian lucky loser Daria Snigur, who gained a shock win over French Open semi-finalist and 2022 Nottingham champion Beatriz Haddad Maia in Tuesday's first round.
