Another Shinobi appeared in 2019 TV series called Kamen Rider Zi-O. His real name is Rentaro Kagura (神蔵 蓮太郎 Kagura Rentaro) who is Kamen Rider Shinobi (仮面ライダーシノビ Kamen Raidā Shinobi) which is a Rider from the year 2022 who appears in Kamen Rider Zi-O. However in 2019 he becomes Another Shinobi (アナザーシノビ Anazā Shinobi).
In 2022, as a result of Ohma Zi-O's destruction in the Day of Ohma, Rentaro Kagura becomes Kamen Rider Shinobi in the future. When Sougo dream of being in the New Years Day of 2022, Rentaro rescued him from a team of Stardust Ninja Dustards.
In 2019, after being beaten by thugs when standing up to a victim, Rentaro's desire for strength reaches Heure, who imbued him with the Shinobi Anotherwatch, transforming him into his corrupted future self. With his newfound ability, Shinobi went on a vigilante spree, killing the thugs earlier before fighting against Zi-O and Geiz. Shinobi was subjected to the alternate Woz's future manipulation, first attacking Zi-O when he was spirited by his original iteration and second after being left defenseless in against Kamen Rider Woz.
Rentaro is a brave, strong-willed individual who protects the weak from those who misuse their powers for evil. However, at present, he himself is rather weak and willingly let himself be victimized by the people who harassed his friend. This also drove him the desire to gain power to get back on those people, which leads to him becoming an Another Rider.
