Actually i got a silly question... what does the shift means, and how do people get listed over there?  Huh

As nhando said, those names are anime characters and not user names.  The explaination of Shifts comes from the Help/Payouts page...it's how this pool operates and manages the data related to each user's shares.

What's a shift?

When your miner sends shares to the pool, the shares are not stored individually, but rather summarised into shifts.
Shifts are ~50min or less in length.
Aproximately every 30s, the pool generates new work and sends that to all the miners.
The pool also sends new work every time a block is found on the Bitcoin network.
A shift summarises all the shares submitted to the pool for 100 work changes.
However, when we find pool blocks, the current shift ends at the work in which the block was found
and a new shift starts.
A ckpool restart will also end the current shift and start a new shift.
A network difficulty change will also end the current shift and start a new shift.
