Kiriko Shijima

Kiriko Shijima (詩島 霧子) is a member of the Tokyo Special Unit and is responsible for all of the technical work. She was the first to know of Shinnosuke being selected as the next Drive and occasionally helps him.

Personality
She is a beautiful, but scary and almost robot-like young woman. She is defined by Shinnosuke Tomari as being like a stalker or a manager, as she is constantly taking notes of Tomari's habits and meticulously counting them, including the number of times his brain enters "top gear". This is probably due to being saved by the original Drive, trying to make Shinnosuke live up to the Kamen Rider name.

Although Shinnosuke sees her as being more capable of using Drive's powers, Kiriko admits to him that "she would if she could".

Character History
Six months before the series, Kiriko was working her job as a traffic signal-woman when the Global Freeze occurred. She was ambushed by Roidmude 010 and nearly turned into data, but was saved by Proto Drive, the original wielder of the Shift Cars. This cemented her admiration for the Kamen Rider name. Unfortunately, Proto Drive lost his life battling the Roidmudes, which severely affected Kiriko.

Six months later, when she learns that Shinnosuke is to be the next Drive, she pushes herself to mold him into a worthy successor for the original Drive, explaining the heavy pressure she exerts on him. She is the one who teaches Shinnosuke how to transform, distracting Roidmudes during his first fight to buy him time to do so.

She later surprises Shinnosuke by smiling when Roidmude 029 refers to him as a Kamen Rider, reminding her of the original Drive. His interrogation as to why bears no fruit. Later on, when the Vegas Dream Shift Car returns from investigating the Roidmude that ambushed her six months ago, she becomes irritable, doing her best to try and find the culprit. She is able to find that the women in the art studio were trapped in the paintings, and managed to free Roidmude 084's drawings before needing help from Shinnosuke.
