The Rinto (リント) were a tribe of humans who lived in the early era of civilization, they are the ancestors of modern-day humans. They used Ancient Hieroglyphics. They were attacked by a tribe known as the Gurongi, who transformed into monstrous beings after finding a magical stone from the heavens and used it to wage war on the other tribes. Being a peaceful tribe, the Rinto never had a need for warriors. In fear of their tribe being eradicated by the Gurongi, the village shamans sought the help of Overlord of Darkness, who helped them by selecting Riku to become their tribe's defender, Kuuga. Although the Rinto champion defeated the Gurongi, having sealed all 200 of them away, the Rinto's lives were changed. Humans became as aggressive as the Gurongi and sought things to satisfy their desires.
Notes[]
- In the English subtitles of the official Kamen Rider Decade episode on YouTube, Rinto was spelled as Lynt.
- The etymology of Linto is not certain, but a Korean Kuuga fan blog postulates that it is derived from Japan (Nihon) along with the etymology of Gurongi.
- Nihon → Ninho → Rinto.
- 縄文時代(Jōmon jidai) → ジョグロンジザギ(Joguronjizagi)
