To his comrades, he has a very positive relationship with Horii. At the same time, he is very doting on his sister Mayumi. Additionally, what he fears the most is ghosts or more terrifying things.

==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Tiga===
Shinjoh and his sister Mayumi were born in Okinawa. Since they lost their parents at a young age, the siblings rely on each other, and they have a very close relationship. In the past, he couldn't swim, but he overcame his fear and learned how to swim to save his sister Mayumi from drowning. Afterward, motivated to protect his loved ones, he joined the military academy and trained as a fighter pilot, honing his skills in aircraft operation and marksmanship. 
Later on, he joined TPC and became a member of GUTS.
===Ultraman Tiga===
After Ultraman Tiga appeared in the world, Shinjoh officially did his duties as a member of GUTS. He always acted with Horii during missions and often argued with him, but the two generally had the same attitude toward eliminating monsters. In addition, he often had the opportunity to pilot the GUTS Wing with Daigo, and they were regularly shot down by monsters and aliens, earning them the nickname of the "crash partners" of the GUTS Wing. 
After learning that Mayumi's boyfriend, Takuma Aoki died at the hands of Gazort II, he sometimes acted impulsively and had conflicts with other members due to his different military stance. But after the incident with the monster Shiela, he gradually changed his attitude towards monsters. 
During a mission piloting the Snow White, he got possessed by a space traveler, Maya Cruz's older brother, who was wandering in space. Her goal was to take Maya away from Earth. After secretly leaving GUTS, he was able to use Shinjoh's body and successfully reunite with his sister.
However, during an attack by Alien Natarn, Maya's older brother sacrificed himself to save Maya and Daigo, taking a bullet to protect them. Though he died, he managed to preserve the consciousness of Shinjoh, the host of his body. After Tiga's battle with Natarn was over, Maya's older brother turned into a beam of light and passed away, and the awakened Shinjoh knew everything. He found Maya and successfully convinced her to stay on Earth by pretending to be her older brother. 
During the invasion of the Iludo, he received news that his past aviation training classmate, Shin Kinosaki and Kiyoto Inui, were attacked and experimented on by Iludo on their way back to Earth. He killed the Iludian-transformed Kinosaki. After that, he not only assisted Inui in avoiding assimilation by Iludians as the mission leader but also successfully stopped Iludo's conspiracy with the help of Tiga. 
Before Gatanothor's resurrection and the world's destruction, R'lyeh got discovered in the ocean depths. To investigate, he and Horii drove the Dolphar 202 to the deep sea, but they got attacked by Gatanothor and forced to stay on the ocean floor. After receiving the help of the superhuman Makio Kirino, they officially joined the effort to rescue the petrified Daigo with all their strength.
In the final episode of the series, he witnesses all the children of the world turn into light and witness the birth of Glitter Tiga and the process of Tiga defeating Gatanothor. In the end, he posed for a photo with the members of GUTS on the Artdessei. 
===Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey===
After learning that Captain Iruma and the TPC investigation team lost contact on R'lyeh, he and Horii went to the ship of the R'lyeh investigation team to explore. After learning that the incident was getting out of hand, he and the members of GUTS went to R'lyeh to support operations.
In the end, he and everyone witnessed the return of Glitter Tiga and the submergence of R'lyeh.
A year later, he and the other members bid farewell to Daigo and Rena, who were heading to Mars. 
===Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna: Warriors of the Star of Light===
After Tiga and Dyna defeated Queen Monera, Shinjoh, along with Munakata, Horii, and Rena with her daughter, Hikari, reunited with Iruma. 
===Ultraman Dyna===
After GUTS officially disbanded, Shinjoh became a member of TPC's Space Development Bureau. Inheriting the will of his deceased friend Kinosaki who got taken over by the Iludians, he was appointed as the pilot of the "Romulus 3" to conduct explorations around the solar system. 
During a mission to explore Pluto, he sent images of "Miss Smile" on the planet back to Earth, and after a quick loss of communication, successfully returned to Earth with the Romulus 3. When Geomos appeared in Rokko Mountains, he actively assisted Super GUTS and Dyna in stopping the monster's actions.
When they reunited with Horii again, the two of them also put on GUTS battle suits to help fight together, and in the final Osaka battle, they worked together with Dyna to defeat Geomos. Later, he returned to space again to continue exploration missions.
