Rintaro Shindo (新堂 倫太郎 Shindō Rintarō) is a former member of the Sword of Logos who transforms into Kamen Rider Blades (仮面ライダーブレイズ Kamen Raidā Bureizu). Formerly affiliated with the Northern Base, he was manipulated by Reika Shindai into staying with the Southern Base before ultimately joining Touma's team for good.

History
Early Life
Rintaro training with his master, Kenshin
Rintaro was born orphaned and raised by the Sword of Logos guild. He was trained by the previous Kamen Rider Blades, Kenshin Nagamine, who would eventually perish in battle against Zooous. Rintaro would then inherit his master's Seiken and Lion Senki Wonder Ride Book, becoming the second Water Swordsman.
Witnessing and Befriending Touma
When the Golem Megid arrived, he witnessed Touma Kamiyama, a “Homo Sapien”, becoming Kamen Rider Saber. He tracks him down at his bookstore and asks him to hand over the Seiken Swordriver and Kaenken Rekka, fearing that Touma’s newfound great power would become dangerous. Chapter 1: In The Beginning, There Was a Flame Swordsman.Kamen Rider Saber Prologue
Rintaro made a surprising entrance to Touma's bookstore by riding a blue lion, as he made an apology for doing it because he thought that it was an ethic of people from the normal realm to not enter someone's home with shoes on. Mei and Touma immediately told Rintaro in panic that it was true but that doesn't mean for him to enter with riding a lion since it looked weirder. In panic, Rintaro called back his lion to return to his Lion Senki Ride Book and tried to confirm Touma and Mei that he wasn't a suspicious person. While Touma and Mei told him that they couldn't believe it, Rintaro immediately explain about Touma's Brave Dragon and Rintaro's mission as the member of Sword of Logos to protect the world and anyone who wielded the power of Wonder Ride Book would have their life in danger. Rintaro begged Touma to hand over his Ride Book and Seiken Swordriver, but Touma refused as he claimed that it was important.
As Touma ultimately decided to help fight against the Megid, Rintaro took him to the Sword of Logos Northern Base located at the North Pole. Chasing after the Ari Megid, Rintaro transformed first to give Touma a demonstration on a Kamen Rider's default powers and abilities. After they entered Wonder World, Rintaro suggested Touma to use the newly acquired Jackun-to-Domamenoki book. When they defeat both the Ari and Kirigirisu Megid, Touma acquires the Peter Fantasista Ridebook. After introducing him to the organization, Rintaro immediately accepted Touma as a new member because Sophia declared that Touma was deemed worthy to be the successor of Kamen Rider Saber.
The next day, the Megid started to make their move and set a new plan so their mission wouldn't be halted. Rintaro and Touma entered the site alongside Mei, forcing herself to join the fray because it seemed to be fun for a live sight. Once they have entered, Rintaro yelled at Mei before he finally showed his form as Kamen Rider Blades, the water swordsman. While Rintaro fought an army of Ari Megid, the current monsters that were making the uproar, Touma and Mei helped evacuating the civilians until the queen of the Ari Megid and Kirigirisu Megid, a mantis Megid which lead the fray appeared. While Touma and Rintaro had the advantage to face them all, they were forced to retreat when Mei was caught in an attack from Kirigirisu Megid.
Touma and Rintaro returned to the battlefield with Touma using the new Ridebook, Diago Speedy. In the last fight, Touma hunted the queen of Ari Megid while Rintaro used his Gatrikephone as a ride to hunt the Kirigirisu Megid. Touma succeeded to destroy the queen, but Rintaro got distracted by the many Ari Megid army. During the fight, Touma handed Jackun-to-Domamenoki to Rintaro as a sign of his target's defeat. Rintaro used the new Ride Book to show Touma on how to use it, destroying the army in a second by scanning the book towards the point of his Suiseiken Nagare.
Rintaro was happy to have a reliable ally and permitted Touma to call him 'Rintaro-san' as a sign that they were close. Mei came to them and said that she would help by gathering information and scammed Rintaro with a chocolate cake as she noticed that Rintaro wanted to taste it during their first encounter. Chapter 2: The Water Swordsman, Along With a Blue Lion.
Rintaro and Touma, after meeting with Kento who is Kamen Rider Espada, meet with Ryo who is a father and also Kamen Rider Buster. As Blades, he fought Hanzaki Megid with the Lion Fantasista Form. Chapter 3: A Father, and a Swordsman.
After the Hanzaki Megid's defeat, Calibur appeared from out of nowhere and attacked Saber and Blades. Thankfully, Espada intervened and stopped Calibur's attack long enough for the three to escape.Chapter 4: I Opened the Book, Therefore.
Chapter 5: My Friend, the Thunder Swordsman.
First Struggle against Zooous
Rintaro and Mei encounter Zooous, and engage a fight with him to avenge his master, while Touma seeks for the King of Arthur Wonder Ride Book at Avalon. Chapter 6: Like the Wind, He Arrives.
After his fight against Zooous, Rintaro returns to the library of Sword of Logos with several wounds on his body, but without saying a word. As Blades, he fought Medusa Megid with Fantastic Lion Form. Chapter 7: The Sword of the King, Lies in Avalon.
Rintaro was able to harness a new power from within Liberation, and soon rescued Mei. Chapter 8: The One That Is Sealed Is, Arthur.
Calibur approaches Touma with a special Megid created by Storious, while Blades and Espada have their Wonder Ride Books stolen after Calibur's vicious attack. Chapter 9: Overlap, the Swordsman's Timbre.
Touma and Rintaro notice that Kento thinks of his father and continues to ponder the situation further, but he remembers what his father did 15 years ago, and tries to distance himself from the others. Chapter 10: Crossing Swords, and Crossing Feelings.

Outing Touma, and Joining the Southern Branch

Vowing to Mei that he will rejoin Touma's side, Rintaro decides to infiltrate further into the Southern Base in order to prove that there's a mole within the organization itself. Chapter 29: At That Moment, the Swordsman Made His Move.
Personality
Rintaro appears to be serious and difficult to approach from a first glance, but on the contrary is actually quite down-to-earth and was willing to teach Touma the ins-and-outs of becoming an effective Kamen Rider, though Touma's rather unorthodox methods of fighting often leaves him flabbergasted. However due to his upbringing, Rintaro has little to no practical experience in everyday culture in general, despite being extremely knowledgeable about it through books. This is made apparent when he arrives at Touma's bookstore for the first time while riding a blue lion because he had read that it is rude to enter with his shoes on. He also demonstrates this through his first time winning and holding an instant camera. Rintaro also has a keen eye for good food, especially after his love for sweets was discovered.
As a child, Rintaro was orphaned at a young age and was raised solely by the Sword of Logos. Through his life-long devotion to the organization, he holds them to a high regard and feels indoctrinated into disbelieving or refusing to hear out any claims of corruption within the organization itself. As a result, Rintaro became unable to leave the organization for the longest time, despite knowing the organization's wrongdoings. When Touma did not hesitate to risk giving up his powers to save Rintaro's life from Ryoga Shindai, proclaiming their close and strong familial friendship. Touma act of kindness, coupled by the revelation of Master Logos treachery convinced Rintaro to ultimately leave the Sword of Logos for good and joining his team.
Rintaro holds great emotional attachment to those he considers friends and family, which extends to not only Touma's team but also to the members of the Sword of Logos itself. He sought revenge against Zooous for the death of Kenshin Nagamine, who he saw not only as a mentor, but also a teacher and a father. Since learning that revenge wasn't the answer, Rintaro fell into guilt for not being strong enough to save Kento Fukamiya from his own acts of revenge. Since learning of Master Logo's treachery and being saved from Ryoga Shindai, Rintaro suffered an emotional breakdown, recognizing his own fears of losing more people he loved. Rintaro also began to evaluate his own self worth after becoming desperate and unable to save Mei from the Neko Megid, believing that saving her was more important than his own life when Touma chose to rescue him instead. When given a full-display of Touma's emotions during their 1-vs-1 duel, Rintaro understood Touma's belief in him and regained his faith in himself, ultimately being rewarded with Tategami Hyoujuu Senki.

Relationships
Allies
- Kenshin Nagamine/Kamen Rider Blades (I): His predecessor and mentor who was killed by Zooous. Rintaro had great respect for him, and took him as a father.
- Sophia: Rintaro's mentor and mystic of the Sword of Logos. Rintaro held her with high regards.
- Touma Kamiyama/Kamen Rider Saber (II): Rintaro's new friend and former member of the Sword of Logos. Rintaro introduces Touma to his world and their duties in protecting the Wonder Ride Books from the Megid. He eventually teams up with Touma and become his close ally ever since, albeit he's usually flabbergasted with Touma unorthodox method of fighting. Their relationship would end up greatly strained after Reika Shindai denounces Touma as a traitor. Unfortunately for Touma, Rintaro refuses to hear out his claims that a traitor exists within the Sword of Logos, believing that they, the very organization who raised him since childhood, are incapable of such evil. While Rintaro would still refuse to hear out Touma's claims, the former still very much cares for him as a friend regardless of their allegiances. It was not until Rintaro saw the full extent of the corruption within the Sword of Logos for himself did he finally decide to defect and join Touma, mending their relationship for good.
- Mei Sudo: Rintaro keeps Mei out of the riders' activities, but he is tempted by sweets when she's eating. However, Rintaro does admit that Mei is a good information searcher as she was more familiar with modern technology. After Rintaro saved Mei from being eaten by Zooous, Mei developed a crush on Rintaro. Their relationship is greatly strained after Mei decided to follow Touma, who was denounced by the Sword of Logos as a traitor. Regardless, Mei still cares about Rintaro. Eventually, he returns to Mei's side along with Touma for good as their relationship was rekindled.
- Yuri/Kamen Rider Saikou: Because Yuri is faithful to Touma he has no choice but to consider him an enemy. However, because he returned to Touma's side, they are allies.
- Tetsuo Daishinji/Kamen Rider Slash: After Tetsuo leaves the group, Rintaro goes into despair over what is happening to the Sword of Logos. Returning to Touma's side, their friendship was restored.
- Ryo Ogami/Kamen Rider Buster (II): Even though they both belong to the Sword of Logos, Ryo at first looked down on Rintaro by not taking his advice seriously to keep his son out of battle. When Ryo leaves the group he gets more depressed because Tetsuo left and now Ryo. Returning to Touma's side, their friendship was restored.
Enemies
- Zooous: Zooous was responsible for the death of Rintaro's teacher, the previous Water Swordsman, thus earning Rintaro's hatred, causing him to swear to defeat the Megid general at all cost. Rintaro's hatred further intensified after Zooous defeated and belittled him, thanks to the Megid's sheer power. But Rintaro persisted and was able to defeat him after achieving Fantastic Lion.
- Daichi Kamijo/Kamen Rider Saber (I)/Kamen Rider Calibur (II): At first, Rintaro thought the current Calibur was Hayato until Daichi reveals himself to have been the current Calibur all along.
- Desast: An enemy of the riders.
- Kento Fukamiya/Kamen Rider Espada (II)/Kamen Rider Calibur (III): After seeing that Kento was desperate to find out what happened to his father, wanting Daichi to answer him, Rintaro tries to stop Kento from making a mistake, saying that Sword of Logos are family. Seeing Kento in trouble, Rintaro saves him and is seriously injured. He was stunned to discover that Kento was alive and is the new Calibur.
- Ren Akamichi/Kamen Rider Kenzan (II): Fellow member of the Sword of Logos.
- Reika Shindai/Kamen Rider Sabela: Companion of the Southern Base who takes advantage of Rintaro against Touma. Reika is very much aware of Rintaro's indoctrinated loyalty to the organization and uses that to manipulate him in staying. He would later discover that she lied to him about Sophia's capture.
- Ryoga Shindai/Kamen Rider Durandal: Fellow member of Sword of Logos who cut him off by the orders of the current Master Logos. He even used Rintaro as a human shield.
- Master Logos: As a swordsman, Rintaro answers to him and held him in high regards. However, upon discovering that he is in fact the traitor within Sword of Logos, Rintaro turned on him and seeks to defeat him to set things right.
Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
Rintaro is portrayed by Takaya Yamaguchi (山口貴也 Yamaguchi Takaya). As Kamen Rider Blades, his suit actor is Eitoku (永徳 Eitoku)[9], who was the suit-actor for the secondary Heisei riders from Diend to Cross-Z (excluding Beast, Mach, Specter, and Brave).
Etymology
- As with the naming scheme of all the Saber Riders, Blades' name is the plural form of the word "blade", the razor portion of a sword.
- As with the surname scheme of other members of Sword of Logos, Rintaro's surname, Shindo, contains a homophone of the kanji Shin (神) meaning "god" or "deity".

Notes
- Rintaro is one of the few secondary Riders, following Iori Izumi and Akira Date, to not antagonize the primary Rider and instead act on friendly terms during their first appearance.
- Rintaro is the only Seiken Swordriver user to only have one of his Nisatsu combos appear in any kind of media such as the TV show and Ganbarizing.
- Rintaro is the second Saber rider to dual wield two Seikens simultaneously, after Touma.
- Rintaro is reminiscent of another Pre-Anniversary Secondary Rider, Kamen Rider Specter.
