==History==
===Background===
Shinnosuke Tomari was born on December 24, 1990 and the son of Eisuke Tomari. He grew up dissatisfied of celebrating his birthday so close to Christmas, only receiving one present for such occasion. Shinnosuke's father was a police officer who taught his son the hardships of being one. He was later suspiciously murdered in the line of duty while Shinnosuke was in middle school. This would eventually propel Shinnosuke to pursue a career in law enforcement and crack the case of his father's death.
On April 8, 2014, Shinnosuke and his partner Akira Hayase were tracking down the notorious crime group, Neo Shade. Although they initally found a false lead from Koya Nishihori, the detectives received reports of Neo Shade's next location. At night, the detectives cornered the criminals and after seeing Akira in danger, Shinnosuke pulled out his gun to shoot an attacking criminal. However, as Global Freeze occurred, Shinnosuke accidentally fired at a flammable generator behind Hayase. As the entire scene kept slowing down for him, Hayase was crushed by the falling pipes.
===Becoming Kamen Rider Drive===
Six months after the Global Freeze, Shinnosuke Tomari had transferred to Special Investigation Unit since August and had become a slack-off police officer. Kiriko Shijima became assigned as his partner who also keeps him on his toes. Once he is properly motivated in "top gear", he becomes more passionate personality to resolve his cases at full throttle. While investigating a Heavy Acceleration case involving Roidmude 029, Shinnosuke uncovers the Drive Driver who grants him the ability to transform into Drive to defeat the attacking Roidmudes.
After defeating the Iron Roidmude, Shinnosuke was referred as a "Kamen Rider". In a heated discussion with Shinnosuke and Kiriko, Mr. Belt approves of the naming scheme and christened him as "Kamen Rider Drive". He would proceed to investigate Roidmude related incidents, eventually coming across the enforcer, Mashin Chaser. As the Roidmude threats were getting stronger, Drive would gain access to new forms, weapons, and Shift Cars.
While he retains his traits back in his elite detective days, Shinnosuke was still reeling the guilt for his former partner's accident, but would often visit Hayase as he recovers in the hospital. Shinnosuke would eventually learn hidden secrets that the Drive Driver knew of, starting from Rinna Sawagami being the Drive Pit's mechanic and Krim Steinbelt's past as well as the creation of Roidmudes. He would frequently face the Roidmude's leader, Heart, who proves to be a formidable adversary against Drive.
===Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle===
Shinnosuke becomes involved with a case regarding the phantom thief, "Ultimate Lupin" and learns that the thief is actually a Roidmude. Follow two failed chases against Lupin, Mr. Belt guides Shinnosuke to an old mansion where he learned the body that Lupin has been using is actually Cyberoid ZZZ, an artificial Roidmude body created by Krim. Lupin arrives in the mansion to share how he came across Cyberoid ZZZ and reveals his ability to transform into Kamen Rider Lupin. After Mashin Chaser failed to defeat him, Drive was defeated as well and Mr. Belt sacrifices itself to protect Shinnosuke from a fatal blow, becoming unresponsive. Although depressed, he nevertheless continues to solves the case and deduced that Lupin had disguised himself as Kiriko. While determined to stopping him, even if Kiriko's life is still in danger, Shinnosuke regains the ability to transform into Drive once Mr. Belt awakens. Assisted by Kiriko and Tridoron, and with an unexpected help from Mashin Chaser, Drive defeats Lupin and reclaims his title as "Kamen Rider" once more.
However, Shinnosuke was present to see Megahex arriving to merge with Cyberoid ZZZ's body, becoming ZZZ Megahex. Drive chases after him and arrives to see Kamen Rider Gaim fighting against Megahex's forces with Ryugen and Zangetsu. Shinnosuke would finally meet Kouta Kazuraba and was surprised to learn that he is a "Space God". Drive join forces with Gaim and the Armored Riders, along with a mechanical replica of Kamen Rider Baron against Megahex. Together, both Drive and Gaim managed to defeat ZZZ Megahex together by using each other's powers, with Drive using the Shift Fruits Car and Gaim using the Drive Lockseed. Drive and Gaim follow ZZZ's core into the Planet Megahex and both destroyed the core of planet, which ended the Megahex threat once and for all. Returning back on Earth, Shinnosuke and Kouta complimented each other and parted ways with a handshake.
===Advancing The Battle===
As the new year approaches of his employment in the Special Investigation Unit, Shinnosuke meets Go Shijima, Kiriko's younger brother and Kamen Rider Mach. While potentially more powerful than Drive, Mach boasted a huge ego as it turned out that Go took the Mach Driver prematurely in a stint of rashness. Although the two Riders butt heads many times, they nevertheless form a mutual respect for each other, as evident from Go nicknaming Shinnosuke "big brother".
Soon after, Shinnosuke gained access to a new form called Type Dead Heat where he can share its powers with Mach along with the purpose to combat against Heart's Dead Zone. While he was able to keep up against Heart in battle, it came at the risk of overloading the Drive System through its berserk state.
Shinnosuke would eventually figure out that Chase is actually revealed to be Protodrive, Shinnosuke's predecessor that had been brainwashed by the Roidmude executives. He began to believe Chase still has his righteous spirit as a Kamen Rider, despite the latter claiming he only fights to defend his kind. In order to combat with Mashin Chaser, Drive was able to gain access to a new form called Type Formula, which allows him to move at the speed of G-Force where he first used to put a stop on the crazed Mashin Chaser, at the same time eliminated him in his second usage of the form.
======
Upon tracking down a Slowdown case, Kamen Rider Drive witnessed the appearance of the and mistook them for the cause of the Heavy Acceleration, having arrived late while the true creator, had already fled. While he arrested , Shinnosuke would soon realize the true as has sided with the Roidmudes with a silver-haired man. Drive aids the Ninningers to defeat the Buruburu, who is aided by Roidmudes 016 and 057. After the Ninningers destroy Buruburu, Roidmudes 057 and 016 grew into giant proportions, capturing Drive as their hostage until the Ninningers summon Shurikenjin to rescue him before eliminating them with Shurikenjin UFO.
Shinnosuke learns that the Ninningers actually exist from another universe and is brought to his world due to unknown time distortions. With the police labeling the ninjas as public enemies, Shinnosukes rushes to gather evidence regarding Roidmude 089 despite the Mr. Belt telling him to not prioritize on the case. Meeting up with Takaharu again, Shinnosuke would learn that Roidmude 089 has copied the late scientist named Dr. Dee. Regrouping with the other Ninningers, Shinnosuke and Mach revealed Shocker as the true mastermind. Once the Ninningers and Kamen Riders have transformed, they fight the Shocker armies and finally eliminated them, restoring , and back into existence. After several encouragements, they part ways as the Ninningers vanish via a green aura.
======
Due to a timeline alteration by Shocker in 1973, Shinnosuke and the Special Investigation Unit became integrated into Shocker's new reality. Most of the Kamen Riders were brainwashed into doing Shocker's dirty work and combating the resistance of the remaining Riders. Shinnosuke uses the title in place of Kamen Rider Drive. After an encounter with Kamen Rider Black, Kohtaro Minami, Shinnosuke would regain his memories and his reason to fight as a Kamen Rider. He would also come across the mysterious Kamen Rider 3, a Rider who "never have existed". Following the apparent demise of Kiriko Shijima and Kohtaro Minami, as well as the death of Jun Honganji, Shinnosuke was forced to go on the run and joins Yuto Sakurai and Go Shijima to figure out the mystery of Kamen Rider 3. While Yuto and Go went to Rider Town, Shinnosuke stayed behind to recover a piece of his old memories. Upon arriving in Rider Town, revealed to be a Shocker trap, he learns that Kiriko is alive. Shinnosuke proposes to the Great Leader of Shocker to have a race to determine who is the fastest Rider on machine. If Drive loses, will surrender to Shocker, to which Shinnosuke was forced to comply.
On the day of the Rider Grand Prix, Drive participated in the race with Rider 3 and the rest of the brainwashed Shocker Riders. While Shocker had rigged the race to ensure Rider 3 would be the strongest, even using the other Riders as a shield. When Mashin Chaser was brought in to stop Drive, a revived Kohtaro arrived and transformed into Kamen Rider Black RX to help Drive, along with Mach and Faiz. Drive managed to get by Rider 3 in the first place, believing that solution to win without using dirty tricks, while also telling Rider 3 if he regrets killing the original Double Riders in the past. At the end of the race, Kyoichiro accepts his loss while being encouraged by Drive to keep up to be winner. 
However, Shocker still don't know to accept their lose as the Great Leader of Shocker imprisoned Rider 3 into the History Modifying Machine as an energy source for the Great Leader's uses in a form of a giant mecha Rider Robo. While Drive and the Kamen Riders are subdued by the brainwashed Shocker Riders, Rider 3 and the Double Riders managed to break free from the Rider Robo, allowing the altered Riders to regain their original memories by the Double Riders' presence. To put a stop of the Great Leader, Shinnosuke found himself aided by the Shuriken Sentai Ninninger as they summoned to fight Rider Robo. After being given the OtomoNin Shuriken: Tridoron by , Drive joins the Ninningers as they recombine their OtomoNin into Shurikenjin Tridoron. Together, they destroyed the Great Leader's Rider Robo and the History Modifying Machine. With the history recreated by Shocker undone, the Kamen Riders said their goodbyes to Kamen Rider 3. Although the original timeline is finally restored, Go still died as he passed away during the crossfire, but will never forget the sacrifice Go made for the Riders. Shinnosuke would learn that Kyoichiro in the original timeline is a successful racer for the Tachibana Racing Club, and proceeds on to face an incoming Roidmude attack.
===D-Video Special: Kamen Rider 4===
The timeline is altered once again after the events of Super Hero Taisen GP, where time itself is stuck in a strange loop on April 4, 2015. Shinnosuke, after recalling previous events, attempts to fix the disruption in time along with Zeronos and Faiz though their attempts inevitably fail with Go's death followed by time resetting itself back to April 4th, 9:55AM over and over again, as Drive and the Riders fight increasing odds from Shocker. Desperate to save Go, Shinnosuke sacrifices himself in one of the time loops to ensure the safety of his friend's life at the cost of his own. Upon the fourth loop, Shinnosuke realizes the situation he was in.
Upon learning the time loop was revealed to be caused by Takumi's wishes from Naoya Kaido, he, Go and Yuto helps Takumi destroy the Great Leader and his Kamen Rider army. After Takumi sacrificed his life on destroying the time loop and the Great Leader who has Takumi's face, Shinnosuke and others, except Kaido, has no recollection of Takumi.
===The Truth of Eisuke Tomari's Death===
While Drive continues on his pursuit against the Roidmudes, his opponents began fuse with humans to become Fusion Roidmudes. Shinnosuke is forced to transform in front of civilians, revealing his identity as Kamen Rider Drive not only to the rest of the Special Investigation Unit, but to the entire world. Soon, thanks to Kiriko's pursuit, Chase returned to his duty as Kamen Rider Chaser, despite Go isn't satisfied with his presence, going so far by joining the Roidmudes in Chase's place.
Eventually, this made into a massive turmoil in his life, upon learning that several Roidmudes had infiltrated the police ranks, even sending Mitsuhide Nira to cause more problems to the Special Investigation Unit. Nonetheless, Shinnosuke felt closer to uncover the truth behind his father's murder. He eventually comes to suspect Soichi Makage, the secretary of National Bureau of Defense and the true identity of Roidmude 001. Even with Mr. Belt's renewed spirit, Freeze accesses his Over Evolved and kills both Shinnosuke and Mr. Belt in one swoop.
Fortunately, Mr. Belt manages to synchronize with Shinnosuke's mind, thus his body appears to actually in suspended animation instead, allowing the Special Investigation Unit and Go, whom actually worked undercover as Mr. X, to revive Shinnosuke and grants him Type Tridoron, allowing Drive to turn on the tables and finishes Freeze. However like their previous battle, his enjoyment in the aftermath of the battle cuts short again when a dying Freeze reveals himself to not be Eisuke's killer.
Eventually, Shinnosuke, Kiriko and Jun discover Nira as the true murderer of Eisuke. Nira and Brain manage to get the latter's pistol away, which is the only evidence that proves he is the culprit. They both framing him and the whole Unit in front of the public and nearly puts Yukari's life at death's doors, but an unexpected help from Tenjuro Banno and Shinnosuke's quick-thinking skills turn the tides and finally puts his father's murderer to the face of justice.
Soon, more Roidmude executives from all over Earth return to Japan in the race to achieve the Over Evolved with the additional task to all re-capture and destroy Banno, who is currently in Go's possession. Shinnosuke temporarily allies himself with Banno when the latter aids the police, but Shinnosuke temporarily loses Mr. Belt when he is separated from him with Banno's betrayal. Shinnosuke learns of Heart's past with Go and obtains Mr. Belt back from Roidmude 004, but not before Roidmude 004 implants a chip into Mr. Belt.
===Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future===
On August 6th, 2015, Shinnosuke receives a letter from Mr. Belt, who told him to not open it for the next two days. After subduing a Giant Roidmude as Drive Type Formula, Shinnosuke was stopped when a young man calling him "dad" to not destroy the Roidmude. This causes Mr. Belt to go haywire and the destruction of the Giant Roidmude ended up causing severe damage to the surrounding area. He also witnesses the appearance of the Rider from the future "Dark Drive" who attacks him, only to be saved by the young man. Shinnosuke would learn that the young man is Eiji Tomari, who claims to be his son from the future, and claims that Krim Steinbelt would betray humanity for the Roidmudes in his timeline. With the Metropolitan Police turning against him over the incident with the Trailer-Hou, Shinnosuke hesitantly is forced to go on the run as he is still dealing with the issue with Dark Drive.
While he wasn't sure to trust Eiji, even when he suggested to modify the Drive Driver, Shinnosuke was present to witness Eiji's death at the hands of Dark Drive and mourned the loss of his son. Despite the risks of Krim going haywire, Shinnosuke continues to transform into Drive and fights alongside Mach and Chaser against the Future Roidmudes. While they defeated Dark Drive, it expectedly came at the cost of Krim once again goes haywire and nearly killed Go if it hadn't for Shinnosuke regaining control. Mr. Belt asks Shinnosuke to destroy him, which he is forced to do using the Shingou-Ax. Eiji reappears in front of Shinnosuke, revealing he is actually Dark Drive and the one he faced earlier was actuallly on autopilot. Furthermore, "Eiji" revealed his true nature as Roidmude 108 and transforms into Dark Drive in order to eliminated Shinnosuke, only to be saved by Chase at the last minute, who lends him his Mach Driver Honoh and Signal Chaser.
Shinnosuke reads the letter from Mr. Belt, entering the first Drive Pit a day earlier and hearing an audio recording of Krim anticipating this day. After reuniting with Kiriko, Shinnosuke evacuates the base driving the Prototridoron. With Dark Drive's Future Roidmudes cornering him, Shinnosuke uses the Tridoron Key with Chase's Mach Driver to assume Super Dead Heat Drive. Finding Roidmude 108 at an abandoned building with the present Roidmude 108's body, Shinnosuke fights Dark Drive but is too late as both Roidmude 108 merge into the Paradox Roidmude and continue to create an Eternal Global Freeze. With the aid of Mach, Shinnosuke manages to merge the Tridoron Key with the discarded future Drive Driver to revive Mr. Belt.
Becoming Kamen Rider Drive once more, Shinnosuke fights against Paradox, but is frozen along with the rest of Earth in Paradox's Eternal Global Freeze. However, due to Kiriko's intervention, Shinnosuke is given the Shift Special, allowing him to transform into Type Special, a mix of the present Drive and the future Drive. Shinnosuke destroys the Paradox Roidmude in the resulting fight. In the aftermath, Shinnosuke is cleared of all charges that was put into him by the Metropolitan Police. Later, Shinnosuke recalls from "Eiji" claimed that his mother rarely smiled, making him speculate that the mother of his child was actually Kiriko.
===Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser===
Sometime after defeating the Paradox Roidmude, Shinnosuke is shocked to discover Chase's expressing happiness and laughter, with him reacting by accidentally spitting his drink in Go's face. While Chase left on a private day off, Shinnosuke showed concern over his comrade's sudden change in emotions. Shinnosuke and Go left for a case where they found their Roidmude case suspect lying in the border between Tokyo and Futo and forced to deal with the Futo Police Captain, Ryu Terui, in which departments will apprehend the suspect as he is also a suspect in a Gaia Memory case.
While they struggled to get answers from the Futo Police Captain, Shinnosuke and Go were forced to leave in order to help Chase. Ryu complemented them for following their duty as a Kamen Rider and promised them that he will hand over the case to Tokyo's Department in the end. It is later revealed that the suspect was really Roidmude 077 who used a Gaia Memory to become the Beast Dopant. Shinnosuke, Go, and Ryu transformed into Kamen Riders Drive, Mach, and Accel to defeat Roidmude 077. Drive and Mach later went to help Chase against the Angel Roidmude's halos, both were suprised over his new appearance. After Chase defeated Angel, Shinnosuke was saddened how his comrade lost his emotions but continues to greet him as a dear friend.

==Video Games Appearances==
==Personality==
Shinnosuke is a former elite police officer of the force, greatly known for his detective skills. However, since accidentally injuring his partner Hayase during the Global Freeze incident, he has become both a slacker and too passionate about his work, nearly committing acts of police brutality on several occasions. Under his aloof attitude and the lazy facade is a strong bearing of justice inherited from his father, along with his philosophy to protect civilians at all cost. As Kamen Rider Drive, Shinnosuke has the archetype of a proud, snarky superhero, creating puns or bantering his opponent when he has the opportunity, apparently toying with his opponents. In spite of this childish nature, though, Shinnosuke is capable of handling tragedies if needed, consoling others in moments of grief as well as showing such emotions himself. To date, Shinnosuke has yet to fully return to what he refers to as "top gear", remaining aloof in most situations.
Whenever he gets leads regarding the case about his father's death or something related to it like Freeze, he is prone to ignoring potential danger and his vision to protect civilians is clouded by his personal desire for vengeance, even trying to coerce Shingo Maruya into telling something about Itsuro Negishi and what happened in the past robbery so much that he cried, and ignored Maruya for most of the fight that the Open Roidmude almost had a chance to kill him but Chaser saved him and later reminded Shinnosuke about his duty as a Kamen Rider, which snapped him back to his senses. He later thanked Chase for reminding him about his duty and told Kiriko to not force Yukari into telling the truth as he now believes that knowing the truth but forcing someone to tell it isn't the right thing. 
While he initially sees the Roidmudes as a purely evil race, Shinnosuke gradually begins to see their true natures, growing to respect Chase for his unique sense of honor and comradeship. Once learning of Chase's past, Shinnosuke graciously accepts him as a fellow Rider, in stark contrast to Go's attitude. Even against other Roidmudes, Shinnosuke has become more lenient towards them, sparing those who deserve it. Once exposed to the Roidmudes' past by Heart, he expresses sympathy for them, disgusted with Banno's vile actions. 
Shinnosuke has several catchphrases:
*He would often say whenever he has come to a conclusion. Whether these conclusions are helpful (throwing away his hesitation to help people) or not (forgetting his problems to continue lazing around) is a matter of luck.
*Similar to Faiz, he would often grab his right wrist with his left hand, then close his right hand and flick it open as a hand gesture. When particularly spirited to fight a Roidmude, he will lean on one leg and say
