Kiriko Shijima is a member of the Special Investigation Unit and is responsible for all of the technical work. She was the first to know of Shinnosuke being selected as the next Drive and occasionally helps him.
She has a younger brother named Go Shijima, who somehow becomes Mach and involved with Roidmudes incidents for some reason. She is also the daughter of the Roidmudes' creator, Professor Banno. Kiriko was also the first tester of the complete version of Kamen Rider Drive. However, she was unable to handle the power, opting her to find the right person for the role.

She is a beautiful, but scary and almost robot-like stoic young woman. She is defined by Shinnosuke Tomari as being like a stalker or a manager, as she is constantly taking notes of Tomari's habits and meticulously counting them, including the number of times his brain enters "top gear". This is probably due to being saved by the original Drive, trying to make Shinnosuke live up to the Kamen Rider name. During her encounter with Roidmude 010 and one of his Roidmude minions, she demonstrates that she is terrified of her existence fading away while being turned into data (due to her first encounter with that Roidmude) causing her to be traumatized.
History
At her young age, Kiriko asked her mother where her father was, but unintentionally causes her mother's sadness. Guessing her father had done something wrong to her mother, causing them to be divorced. Kiriko thus decided not to tell a younger Gou the truth about their father's darkness, until he's finally grown as an adult. Unknown to her, she doesn't know her father's fate of being killed by his own creations and her brother wants to avenge their father's death without her knowing and to keep her from getting hurt.
Global Freeze
Six months before the series, Kiriko worked as a traffic signal-woman. When the Totou building issued an evacuation after Neo-Shade's attack, she quickly guided several surviving workers to safety as two police officers storm the building. Unbeknownst to her, one of them is her future partner in six months later, as he briefly ran across her, despite Kiriko had not notice his presence.
Present Day
Six months later, when she learns that Shinnosuke is to be the next Drive, she pushes herself to mold him into a worthy successor for the original Drive, explaining the heavy pressure she exerts on him. She is the one who teaches Shinnosuke how to transform, distracting Roidmudes during his first fight to buy him time to do so.
Secret Mission Type TOKUJO
Kiriko was among one of the first testers of the complete Kamen Rider Drive gear. However, because her body couldn't handle it, the transformation canceled out and Mr. Belt flew across the room the moment the Shift Tire slashed onto her torso.
Appearances In Other Media
Commercial
- Rio Uchida and Ryoma Takeuchi appear in-character to advertise Bandai's Kamen Rider Chocolate Biscuit Ball.
- Peak Human Physicality : She has a very athletic physique - a trait she shares with her brother. She easily demonstrates acrobatics way above that of average human's as seen while chasing Shinnosuke when she jumps over a car and an impossibly tall fence.
- To initiate the test transformation of the completed Drive, Kiriko, wearing the Drive Driver, used the Shift Speed Car in the Shift Brace in an attempt to transform into Type Speed, Drive's default sports car-based form. Through this, Kiriko was able to momentarily achieve a transformation into the tire-less Kamen Rider Drive. However, when the Type Speed Tire attempted to combine with the Type Speed body, the transformation was immediately rejected, prompting Kiriko and Mr. Belt to find a candidate who could successfully handle Drive's power and maintain the transformation.
