Abstract: In the present paper, we study spirallikenss (including starlikeness) of the shifted hypergeometric function f(z)=z2F1(a,b;c;z) with complex parameters a,b,c, where 2F1(a,b;c;z) stands for the Gaussian hypergeometric function. First, we observe the asymptotic behaviour of 2F1(a,b;c;z) around the point z=1 to obtain necessary conditions for f to be lambda-spirallike for a given lambda with pi/2<lambda<pi/2. We next give sufficient conditions for f to be lambda-spirallike. As special cases, we obtain sufficient conditions of strong starlikeness and examples of spirallike, but not starlike, shifted hypergeometric functions.
