Shinji Kido (城戸 真司, Kido Shinji) is an employee at ORE Journal, whose life takes a sharp turn after being pulled into the Mirror World by a Mispider. Luckily, he was saved by Koichi Sakakibara, the latter could no longer go on due to the severity of his injuries and passed his Card Deck to Shinji, allowing him to become the next Kamen Rider Ryuki (仮面ライダー龍騎, Kamen Raidā Ryūki, lit. "Dragon Knight").
Eventually, Shinji's deck is destroyed and Ren Akiyama passed on the Knight Deck to him, becoming Kamen Rider Knight (仮面ライダーナイト, Kamen Raidā Naito, Masked Rider Knight)
History[]
13 Riders[]
It was by fate Shinji was dragged into Mirror World by a monster to be saved by the previous Ryuki, Kōichi Sakakibara. But mortally wounded and wishing to save his life, Sakakibara gave Shinji his deck and faded while Shinji became the new Kamen Rider Ryuki.
Shinji still tried to prevent the other Riders from fighting as his way to thank Sakakibara. He was lured into the Mirror World by the others under the guise of a truce, but was ambushed. While fighting the other Riders, the Ryuki deck was destroyed by Kamen Rider Odin. After Ren was killed by Kamen Rider Verde, Ren gave Shinji the Knight deck and he took the mantle of Kamen Rider Knight. Shinji later used the Darkraider to race against the master mirror (while killing Dispider in the process) while deciding on whether he would destroy it.
If Shinji decides not to destroy the Master Mirror[]

Knight/Kido takes on the Riders. (Aired ending)
Shinji decides to stop and face his ultimate fate as a Rider, finally fulfilling Ren's wish. He is last seen taking on the rest of the other Riders with their Final Vents activated.
If Shinji decides to destroy the Master Mirror[]

Kido's despair after he realizes that destroying the Master Mirror won't prevent the Rider War. (Unaired ending)
Unable to continue Ren's wish, Shinji destroyed the master mirror with the monsters and Riders fading away only for the Riders to reappear and Shinji regaining the Ryuki deck. Confused, he screams when he heard Takamizawa's voice saying that the Rider Fight will not end.
Forms[]
Shinji transforms into Kamen Rider Ryuki through his Card Deck and his V Buckle. When Shinji's deck is destroyed and Ren dies after passing on the deck for Kamen Rider Knight to him, Shinji then transforms into Kamen Rider Knight with Survive Mode.

Through the use of his Sword Vent Advent Card, Ryuki can arm himself with the Dragsaber (ドラグセイバー, Doragu Seibā), a sword derived from Dragreder's tail. His Strike Vent arms him with the Dragclaw (ドラグクロー, Doragu Kurō), a gauntlet capable of shooting fireballs that is derived from Dragreder's head. With the Dragclaw, Ryuki can perform the Dragclaw Fire (ドラグクローファイヤー, Doragu Kurō Faiyā) attack with Dragreder, in which he and Dragreder each launch a fireball at the opponent.

Kamen Rider Ryuki Survive (仮面ライダー龍騎サバイブ, Kamen Raidā Ryūki Sabaibu) is Ryuki's final form, assumed by using the Survive Rekka Advent Card. The Survive Rekka card transforms the Dragvisor into the the Dragvisorzwei, which Ryuki uses to transform into Survive Form and read Advent Cards. Transforming into Survive Form also causes Dragreder to transform into Dragranzer. Survive Form enhances all of Ryuki's stats, allowing him to surpass all other Riders, with the exception of those who are also using a Survive Advent Card, such as Knight Survive and Odin.
Using the Sword Vent Advent Card converts the Dragvisorzwei to a blade mode named the Dragblade (ドラグブレード, Doragu Burēdo).The Dragvisorzwei can also function as a ranged weapon by shooting fireballs. By using the Shoot Vent, Ryuki can perform the Meteorbullet (メテオバレット, Meteo Buretto) attack alongside Dragranzer, in which he and Dragranzer each launch a fireball at the opponent.
By using his Final Vent, Ryuki Survive can perform his finisher, the Dragon Fire Storm (ドラゴンファイヤーストーム, Doragon Faiyā Sutōmu), which transforms Dragranzer into a bike for Ryuki to ride. Ryuki drives toward the enemy and performs a wheelie, followed by Dragranzer shooting several opponents at the opponent from its mouth. Finally, Ryuki slams into the opponent, destroying it.

Ability Parameters:
- Punching Power: 10 t (200 AP)

- Flyinglancer: 250 t[note 2]
- Advent: Darkwing: 200 t[note 2]
Shinji can transform into Kamen Rider Knight using Ren's Card Deck and V Buckle upon forming a contract with Darkwing. His Visor, the Darkvisor, is a rapier that also functions as his personal weapon. In comparison to Ryuki, Knight has lower kicking power but higher jump height and running speed.
In addition to the Darkvisor, Knight can arm himself with the Winglancer (ウイングランサー, Uingu Ransā), a lance derived from Darkwing's tail, by using his Sword Vent Advent Card. The remainder of Darkwing's body can be mounted on Knight's back, where its wings become a cape. This can be done by using either his Guard Vent or Final Vent. (However, Ren is often seen transforming into Knight with the cape already equipped). When using the Guard Vent card, the wings are in their original form and close around Knight to form the Wingwall in order to protect him from attacks.
Using his Final Vent allows Knight to perform his finisher, the Flyinglancer (飛翔斬, Hishōzan), which equips him the Winglancer and Darkwing's cape form if he does not already possess them. Knight then jumps into the air and performs a drop kick while holding the Winglancer downward, resulting in it being parallel to his legs. Finally, Knight's cape forms a drill around him before he strikes the enemy.

Kamen Rider Knight Survive (仮面ライダーナイトサバイブ, Kamen Raidā Naito Sabaibu) is Knight's final form, assumed by using the Survive Shippu Advent Card. The Survive Shippu card transforms the Darkvisor into the the Darkvisorzwei, which Knight uses to transform into Survive Form and read Advent Cards. Transforming into Survive Form also causes Darkwing to transform into Darkraider. Survive Form enhances all of Knight's stats, allowing him to surpass all other Riders, with the exception of those who are also using a Survive Advent Card, such as Knight Survive and Odin.
In its default form, the Darkvisorzwei is an arm-mounted scabbard. Using the Shoot Vent converts the Darkvisor to a crossbow mode named the Darkblade (ダークブレード, Dāku Burēdo) from the Darkvizorzwei, with the reminder becoming the Darkshield (ダークシールド, Dāku Shīrudo).
By using his Final Vent, Knight Survive can perform his finisher, the Shippudan (疾風断, Shippūdan, lit. "Hurricane Edge"), which transforms Darkraider into a bike for Knight to ride. Knight drives toward the target before the front of Darkraider fires a laser at the opponent, paralyzing it. Knight's cape then covers him and Darkraider, forming a missile that flies into the enemy.
