- "It's time for revolution!"
- ―Shingo's catchphrase before transforming[src]
Shingo Kuwata (桑田真吾, Kuwata Shingo) was a researcher of the Touto Institute of Advanced Matter Physics who turned himself into the second Flying Smash (フライングスマッシュ, Furaingu Sumasshu) upon using an unpurified Smash Bottle.
Character History[]
Shingo Kuwata infiltrated the TIAMP lab to disarm the security of Pandora Box, however, Sento managed to reach his location to stop him, so the intruder used an unpurified Nebula Gas Fullbottle to transform into Flying Smash to engage the Rider.
Build first used HawkGatling Form to have an air skirmish with Flying Smash, before transforming into LionCleaner Form to finish him. Build absorbed Shingo's essence into a Fullbottle to undo his mutation.
After regaining his senses, Shingo told the Rider that he is merely a diversion as his comrade already went to disarm the security in place of him. He later used another unpurified Nebula Gas Fullbottle to commit suicide, dissolving his body into nothing. Before completely vanishing, he proclaimed to Sento that Takumi Katsuragi is in fact, still alive. [The Trap of Project Build]
