==History==
===Background===
Rintaro Shindo was born the son of Shinjiro Shinozaki and an unnamed woman. When Rintaro was still too young to remember, his father left the family due to the nature of his job. Very soon, Rintaro had lost his mother as well and became orphaned, which led to Rintaro being adopted by the swordsman Kenshin Nagamine of the Sword of Logos. Rintaro spent the majority of his childhood with him, training to inherit Suiseiken Nagare and succeed Kenshin as the next Kamen Rider Blades. At some point when Rintaro was 17 years old, he received a degree of training from Ryo Ogami.
===The Water Swordsman===
Rintaro Shindo arrived to witness Touma Kamiyama, a “Homo Sapien”, transforming into Kamen Rider Saber to vanquish the Golem Megid. Arriving to his bookstore riding a blue lion, he approched Touma to hand over the Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book before bringing the novelist to the Northern Base of the Sword of Logos to meet Sophia. Rintaro demostrates his ability to transform into Kamen Rider Blades and together, he and Saber were able to subdue the Ari and Kirigirisu Megid. When Mei Sudo greeted Rintaro with a box of éclairs, he revealed his love for sweets.
Rintaro would continue to teach Touma about the organization as well as its warriors, the Kamen Riders. He helped introduce Touma to Kento Fukamiya, both happened to be forgotten childhood friends and the current Kamen Rider Espada, along with Ryo Ogami, Tetsuo Daishinji, and Ren Akamichi. While exploring the city with Mei, Rintaro encountered Zooous and discovered he was responsible for his master's death. Rintaro began training himself to simultaneously use three Wonder Ride Books to avenge his master. Although he defeated Zooous after accessing Blades Fantastic Lion, Rintaro realized that he shouldn't yearn for vengeance.
===Kamen Rider Saber: The Phoenix Swordsman and the Book of Ruin===
When the Immortal Swordsman, Bahato, unleashes his destruction to the world using the Book of Ruin, Rintaro joined with the Northern Base swordsmen to battle in Wonder World. Kamen Rider Blades engaged the Shimi horde as Saber fought Falchion personally. Rintaro, intent on fighting for the future of all "Homo Sapiens", wiped out the Shimi army with his fellow Swordsmen before Falchion was sealed away by Saber Emotional Dragon.
===Final Showdown with Calibur===
Following multiple encounters with the mysterious Kamen Rider Calibur, Rintaro forms a pact with Touma and Kento to stick to each other through the end. While the three battled Calibur together, Rintaro learns the man behind the mask was Daichi Kamijo, the previous Saber fifteen years ago. Realizing Kento's unstable emotions, he empathizes the feelings of losing a father figure but warns him that revenge was not the answer. While Rintaro was injured in an attempt to protect Kento from Calibur, he would learn about Luna whom Rintaro would inform Touma of, causing Touma to regain his memories.
While Rintaro became Blades to join his fellow swordsmen battle Calibur Jaoh Dragon, he was still not in good condition to fight. Kento would jump in to shield Rintaro, leading to his teammate to be lost into the darkness. As Kamijo enacted to seize the Almighty Book, Rintaro awaited for his latest upgrade using the powers of Lion Senki, Peter Fanatasista, and Tenkuu no Pegasus, along with King of Arthur. Rintaro transformed into transformed into Blades King Lion Daisenki to hold off the Megid while Saber chased after Calibur. Rintaro and the rest of the Northern Base swordsmen would warmly welcome Touma back once he returned from the in the realm of the Almighty Book.
===Sword of Logos Conspiracy===
Following the defeat of Calibur and Sophia's disappearance, Reika Shindai appeared to the Northern Base swordsmen to accuse Touma had betrayed the Sword of Logos. While Touma defended himself that there's a true enemy within the guild, Rintaro was forced to fight his friend due to his blind faith in the organization, claiming that they were like family to him. While the intervention of Kamen Rider Saikou forced the Northern Base swordsmen to draw back, Rintaro remained conflicted with fighting Touma, especially with his latest claims that the Megid are using human hosts to spawn more monsters.
While Rintaro eventually learn the Megid are using human victims, he still denied the fact that there is a true enemy hiding within the guild. He was further depressed after Daishinji and Ogami left the guild to join Touma. His friendship with Touma was strained and despite his attempts to repairing their bond. But Rintaro would often return back to the Sword of Logos, persistent that they were his "family". Rintaro would witness Touma turning berserk from Saber Primitive Dragon's effects and Kento's return as the current Calibur in his crusade to seal every Seiken.
After defending the city from Legeiel while Touma tried to tame the Primitive Dragon, Rintaro witnessed Touma's evolution into Saber Elemental Primitive Dragon. Deciding to settle his unfinished affairs, he stayed in the Southern Base to investigate whether there is a traitor. After discovering Reika Shindai had locked Sophia away, he tried to report this to Master Logos, only to learn that the Sword of Logos' leader is the actual traitor himself. While he was intercepted by Kamen Rider Durendal, Ryoga Shindai, Rintaro was rescued by Touma and Yuri only barely surviving.
Rintaro was welcomed back in open arms in the Northern Base. While he admired Touma's ability to separate the Megid, the both of them are in total despair after Zooous turned Mei into the Neko Megid. Rintaro had turned mentally unstable, him lashing out at Touma for priotizing him over Mei. However, these feelings were out of his lack of self-confidence. After engaging in a duel with Touma which further advanced Rintaro's mastery over Suiseiken Nagare, the two team up once again and successfully separate Mei from the Neko Megid.
===War against Master Logos===
When Master Logos disabled the Northern Base defenses, the Megid and the Shindai siblings raid the base. Rintaro joined with Ogami to hold off the Megid forces and face off against Zooous Predator. While Sophia begged him and everyone to escape while she held off Zooous, Rintaro's determination to protect his friend allowed the Almighty Book fragment to respond to him, allowing him to assume his final form, Blades Tategami Hyoujuusenki. With the spirits of the previous swordsmen fighting alongside with him, Blades was able to finally vanquish Zooous and find closure with his master's memory.
Through Tategami Hyoujuusenki's power, Rintaro was able to overcome the Shindai siblings in battle. When Luna made her return and had gone missing, Rintaro went out to search for her and is forced to surrender Suiseiken Nagare and his Wonder Ride Books when Ogami and Daishinji were held hostage. While Touma managed to foil Master Logos' ritual to summon the Almighty Book, Master Logos is able to obtain a portion of the Almighty Book and transform into Kamen Rider Solomon, who prove to be a formidable adversary.
Rintaro comes to the Shindai siblings' aid after the pair turned on Master Logos. As Solomon enacted his destruction to the world, Blades joined the Kamen Riders to stop the mad tyrant but is overwhelmed. Standing alongside the other swordsmen, as well as Kento who has finally agreed to rejoin the team, Rintaro would bear witness to Haouken Xross Saber's creation and the arrival of Kamen Rider Xross Saber.
===Kamen Rider Specter × Blades===
Rintaro and Mei went out to town for ice cream, only to run into Copy Kanon. Rintaro is astonished by Copy Kanon's strength, realizing she is not a normal "Homo sapien". As the remnants of Danton's faction sought to capture Copy Kanon, he would encounter the real Kanon Fukami to help protect Copy Kanon. Rintaro joins forces with Kamen Rider Specter, Makoto Fukami, and access Specter Gekikou Senki's power and take down Kamiyu and Muller. In the aftermath, he expressed envy towards Makoto for having so many siblings, but Rintaro is reaffirmed that Touma and Mei are his family.

Rintaro participated in minimizing the disaster, but Storious grew stronger after becoming Kamen Rider Storious, resurrecting the Four Sages in the process as his loyal followers.
As the final battle approaches, Kamen Rider Blades joins the swordsmen as they storm Storious' Tower of Destruction. Rintaro engaged a Lord of Wise, while covering for Touma as he reached Storious' chamber. Although he succeeded in defeating it, the battle was too exhausting for Rintaro, causing him to pass out and it was only Yuri's healing ability that allowed him to stand up.
Rintaro arrived in Storious' chamber to protect Touma with Kento. He would bear witness to the creation of the Wonder Almighty. Rintaro transforms into Kamen Rider Blades and with the help of Saber and Espada, they defeat Storious. As the world began to disintegrate, Rintaro and Kento were forced to witness Touma's death as the world disappeared around them. However, once Touma became the Guardian of Wonder World, Rintaro was among the populace resurrected in the restored Earth.
===One Year Later===
One year later, Rintaro accompanied Mei in an award ceremony where she accepted Touma's award from his published novel, Eternal Story. Upon hearing word that the missing victims that were unaccounted for had suddenly returned, Rintaro joined up with most of Touma's friends as they reunited with their missing friend once more.
As the Swordsmen decide what to do next in their lives, Ryoga challenges Rintaro to a duel. Although the result is not shown, Rintaro's performance therein convinces Ryoga that Rintaro should become the new Master Logos and leader of the Sword of Logos. Rintaro proposes that they restructure the leadership as to not rely on one Master. Once Sophia agrees, Rintaro joins her as part of its new council of leaders.
===Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations===
Rintaro was at an outing with Mei, Ogami, and Sora when he reunites with Ikki Igarashi at Happy Spa. He was called back by Sophia following the Crisper's attack on the Southern Base, leading him to solicit Touma's assistance. Joining forces with the Kamen Rider Revice duo once more, they stand to fight the demon Diablo, who emerged to threaten the Earth's future. They would also encounter time-displaced Shocker scientist Ryunosuke Momose, who sought to make amends with Hideo, his young son he left behind in 1971, who is now an adult man in 2021.
Rintaro joins Vice, Daiji, Sakura, Touma, and Yuri to venture to the future, while promising Mei that he will confess his feelings to her. He would meet an elderly George Karizaki, who assisted the heroes by granting them to access to Clone Riders forms. Rintaro would assume the forms of Blade, ZO, and Kuuga. Upon returning to the present, Kamen Rider Blades would arrive in Egypt to assist Slash defeating the Khufu Crisper.
===Kamen Rider Saber: Trio of Deep Sin===
Eight years after saving the world, the multiple swordsmen within the Sword of Logos have begun to disappear, with Rintaro catching wind of strange phenomenon. He goes to investigate the incident with Daishinji, to which a white Kamen Rider Falchion appears and makes Daishinji vanish. Falchion reveals himself to be Shinjiro Shinozaki, who claimed to be Rintaro's father who left him when he was very young due to his line of work. Due to the Sword of Logos' battles, many lives were lost as collateral and Shinjiro sought to never let such tragedies happen again.

==Video Game Appearances==
==Personality==
Rintaro appears to be serious and difficult to approach from first glance, but on the contrary, he is actually quite down-to-earth and was willing to teach Touma the ins-and-outs of becoming an effective Kamen Rider, though Touma's rather unorthodox methods of fighting often leaves him flabbergasted. However due to his upbringing, Rintaro has little to no practical experience in everyday culture in general, despite being extremely knowledgeable about it through books. This is made apparent when he arrives at Touma's bookstore for the first time while riding a blue lion because he had read that it is rude to enter with his shoes on. He also demonstrates this through his first time winning and holding an instant camera. Rintaro also has a keen eye for good food, especially after his love for sweets was discovered.
As a child, Rintaro was orphaned at a young age and was raised solely by the Sword of Logos. Through his life-long devotion to the organization, he holds them to a high regard and feels indoctrinated into disbelieving or refusing to hear out any claims of corruption within the organization itself. As a result, Rintaro became unable to leave the organization for the longest time, despite knowing the organization's wrongdoings. When Touma did not hesitate to risk giving up his powers to save Rintaro's life from Ryoga Shindai, proclaiming their close and strong familial friendship. Touma act of kindness, coupled by the revelation of Master Logos' treachery convinced Rintaro to ultimately leave the Sword of Logos for good and join his team. 
Rintaro holds great emotional attachment to those he considers friends and family, which extends to not only Touma's team but also to the members of the Sword of Logos itself. He sought revenge against Zooous for the death of Kenshin Nagamine, who he saw not only as a mentor, but also a father, a spot filled from the absence of Rintaro's biological father, whom he would not meet until he was in his 30s. Since learning that revenge wasn't the answer, Rintaro felt guilty and week for being unable to save Kento Fukamiya from his own acts of revenge. Since learning of Master Logo's treachery and being saved from Ryoga, Rintaro suffered an emotional breakdown, recognizing his own fears of losing more people he loved. Rintaro also began to evaluate his own self worth after becoming desperate and unable to save Mei from the Neko Megid, believing that saving her was more important than his own life when Touma chose to rescue him instead. When given a full-display of Touma's emotions during their 1-vs-1 duel, Rintaro understood Touma's belief in him and renewed his faith in himself, thus allowing him to finally master Suiseiken Nagare. Rintaro bravery and valor had ultimately rewarded him with the Tategami Hyoujuusenki Wonder Ride Book, which he used to defeat Zooous.

==Powers and Abilities==
=== Powers ===
* Megid Separation: During the training duel with Touma, Rintaro began to showcase further mastery over Suiseiken Nagare after some rough guidance. While his technique is imperfect, he can combine his efforts with Touma to successfully separate Human and Megid, evidenced when the two rescued Mei from the Neko Megid.
*Spirit Medium: After obtaining the Tategami Hyoujuusenki Wonder Ride Book, Rintaro can communicate with spirits of his predecessors, as demonstrated by doing so with his mentor Kenshin when defeating Zooous.

=== Abilities ===
*Expert Swordsman: As a member of the Sword of Logos, Rintaro is a trained swordsman, demonstrating mastery at using Suiseiken Nagare when fighting his enemies or opponents. After being out of action under Southern Base's command there was a power gap between him and his friends and foes, though through rejoining Touma he had grown stronger, being able to go almost toe-to-toe with Zooous and even outmatch Durendal later on.
*Indomitable Will: Rintaro has shown on several occasions to have an unshakable will to fight, even against enemies he could not win against. He has had his fair share of moments of self-conflict and questioning himself and his beliefs, but when he makes up his mind he vigorously fights to protect until he is severely injured and cannot stand up anymore.
===Former Weaknesses===
*Power Strain: During his training at Liberation, Rintaro had to train himself to harness Tenkuu no Pegasus, Lion Senki, and Peter Fantasista, which were three Ride Books of the same element.

Their relationship would end up greatly strained after Reika Shindai denounces Touma as a traitor. Unfortunately for Touma, Rintaro refuses to hear out his claims that a traitor exists within the Sword of Logos, believing that they, the very organization who raised him since childhood, are incapable of such evil. While Rintaro would still refuse to hear out Touma's claims, the former still very much cares for him as a friend regardless of their allegiances. It was not until Rintaro saw the full extent of the corruption within the Sword of Logos for himself did he finally decide to defect and join Touma, mending their relationship for good.

Rintaro's hatred further intensified after Zooous defeated and belittled him, thanks to the Megid's sheer power. But Rintaro persisted and was able to defeat him after transforming into Blades Fantastic Lion, after he realized that revenge is never the answer. Zooous was further humiliated after Rintaro transformed into Blades King Lion Daisenki and easily outmatched him, thus he resorts to underhanded tactics by forcibly transforming Mei Sudo into Neko Megid. Thanks to Touma help, Rintaro is able to master Suiseiken Nagare and save Mei, something Rintaro ironically thanked Zooous upon. Desperate and furious, Zooous ended up becoming Zooous Predator and wreaked havoc on the Northern Base. However, Rintaro's bravery and valour reached the power of Northern Base and ultimately allowed him to transform into Blades Tategami Hyojuu Senki, which he used to slay his nemesis once and for all.
