This article is about a Rider in Kamen Rider Hibiki. |
Shiori Shinagawa (品川 栞, Shinagawa Shiori), is a former Oni who transforms into Kamen Rider Shuki (仮面ライダー朱鬼, Kamen Raidā Shuki, lit. "Masked Rider Scarlet Demon").
History[]
Past[]
When she was young, her entire family was murdered by the Makamou Notsugo. She used this as a reason to become an Oni. Unlike other Oni though, she used personal grudges and not the desire to uphold justice and protect the weak as a reason to fight the Makamou, and because of this, Shuki's forehead emblem had grown over her face.
After the death of her predecessor Zanki, Shuki replaced him and continued to train Zaomaru to become an Oni. She is the one who teaches Zanki. In a battle, Shuki and his disciple faced Notsugo, to defeat Notsugo, she sacrificed Zanki and shot him and the Makamou with the Shikigami. But Notsugo did not die and fled. Then, Zanki was seriously injured. Due to this behavior, Takeshi decided to banish Shuki from the ranks of the organization's members and force her to no longer transform into Oni. Later she became a teacher of flower arranging.
Present[]
Years later she would return to the battlefield, using an Oni Armor to fight Oni in order to steal a transformation device to resume her Oni form and battle the Notsugo once more. Though the armor was destroyed, Shuki managed to get Todoroki's Henshin Kigen and become Kamen Rider Shuki again. The Man and Woman attempted to recruit Shuki, but she refused their offer, overpowering Super Douji & Super Hime before retreating in a blaze.
10 years later, when Notsugo reappeared, she continued to track the Makamou. But without the strength when she was a Oni, she infiltrated the Kibu shrine and decided to steal Yoshino's Armor of the Ogre as a part of her vengeance against Notsugo and with the objective to steal an Oni's Henshin Kigen, to become Shuki again.
Later on, she took in Akira Amami as her apprentice due to seeing similarities in her wanting to be an Oni. Shuki's hate of the Makamou would be her downfall, as she was caught in the mouth of Notsugo, she killed herself as a means to get her revenge on it finally, with Zanki finishing the monster off. Dying, Shuki asked Zanki to honor her by covering her in flowers so no one can see her true face.

Since she saw Akira in the same situation as herself, Shuki wanted to persuade her to follow her, teaching the young girl that hatred will make herself stronger.
Despite being an Oni following the wrong path, Shuki still helps others when they are in trouble, stopping a thief from snatching a bag on the street and refusing an invitation by The Man and Woman behind her to join the Makamou, always held the concept of having to fight them as she was an Oni.
