==Biography==
Shingen is a S-Class purple card battler, who is famous in Kai. He is called The Demon of War. Many of the locals hoped that he would enter the national tournament, and make their town known.
Toshiie Homura, who needed a third teammate for the tournament, tracked Shingen down to recruit him. Shingen quickly refused, however, and crossed a bridge to leave. When Toshi followed after, he proceeded to destroy the bridge, but Toshi made it to the other side. Shingen was impressed, and considered Toshi strong and reliable enough to team up with.
His first match in the Warring States Championship was against Dousan, a green user. Shingen was able to win, using the Soul Drive effect on his ultimate. 
Afterwards, his's team made it past the preliminaries and entered the first official round of the championships. Their team was matched against the team representing the Kyuushuu-Okinawa area. Shingen battled against unknown battler and won. 
During the quarterfinals, Shingen was matched up against Toukichirou Mashira easily in the second round. 
Back in the Warring States Championship, Shingen has to face Yukimura Rekka in the quarterfinals. Shingen believed that Yukimura wasn't a worthy enough opponent and what Toshi could see in Yukimura that made him want to battle Yukimura so much. However, after seeing Yukimura's determination, he lost, and he finally realized why Toshi saw Yukimura as a worthy foe.
After he lost to Yukimaru, he was stopped by Toshi for leaving as Toshi wanted to chat with Shingen and have a warm up match with him. But he told Toshie that he is exciting for his dream match for battling Yukimaru.
He later arrived to the stadium to supporting Yukimaru. 
In the Epilogue, he continued his training in order to surpass Yukimaru.
