Shinji Tatsumi (辰巳 シンジ, Tatsumi Shinji) is a photographer who transforms into Kamen Rider Ryuki (仮面ライダー龍騎, Kamen Raidā Ryūki, "Masked Rider Ryuki").
He is the World of Ryuki counterpart of Shinji Kido.
Shinji Tatsumi[]
Shinji Tatsumi is a young man who worked for the Atashi Journal as its photographer alongside its top writer Ren Haguro until he left the Journal three years ago without explaining himself. Since then Shinji was distraught and felt betrayed as a result. However, when his editor Reiko Momoi is mysteriously murdered, Shinji finds Ren present at the scene. Soon after, Shinji is chosen to become Kamen Rider Ryuki, though is reluctant to join the Kamen Rider Trial that would judge the fate of the suspected murderer: Natsumi Hikari.
Biography[]
As the trial begins, Shinji crosses paths with Yusuke Onodera and Tsukasa Kadoya, who represents Natsumi as her defense attorney. After telling them what the official sources say behind Reiko's death and admitting he feels that Natsumi's innocent, Shinji accompanies Tsukasa and Yusuke to the crime scene to meet Kamata who confirms Ren's appearance at the Journal around Reiko's death. While Kamata and Tsukasa enter the Mirror World to fight, Shinji confronts Ren to demand what he was doing at the Atashi Journal. Once in the Mirror World, Shinji challenges Ren as he believes that Ren is the true murderer and has framed Natsumi. However, their fight is interrupted once Decade appears and challenges Knight with Ryuki watching their fight with contempt for Knight. Shinji later uses the Time Vent card Ren had acquired to reverse the flow of time, saving Reiko Momoi from murder, discovering the reason why Ren left the group 3 years ago, and exposing Kamata as the murderer. Along with Decade, Shinji fights Abyss, revealing that Kamata is actually the Paradoxa Undead.

Shinji Tatsumi is portrayed by Momosuke Mizutani (水谷 百輔, Mizutani Momosuke). As Kamen Rider Ryuki, his suit actor is Jun Watanabe (渡辺 淳, Watanabe Jun).
Etymology[]
- "Tatsu" is the Kun'yomi method of how to pronounce Dragon (竜, ryū).
Notes[]
- His Final Form Ride transformation bears a striking resemblance to RyuRanger's
personal mecha: Mythical Chi Beast RyuseiOh.
- Dragreder's resemblance to RyuseiOh was previously nodded to during 13 Riders, where Koichi Sakakibara, the first Ryuki, was played by RyuRanger's actor, Keiichi Wada.
- The difference between Kido's view on Akiyama and Tatsumi's view on Haguro is that Kido is very kind towards Akiyama. While Tatsumi on the other hand, became extremely cold on Haguro, even supspecting him as the killer of Reiko.
