Kiriko Shijima will be a more active female lead to the Main Rider in KR Drive
 

Rio Uchida who will be playing Kiriko Shijima in Kamen Rider the main female lead support cast will be more of a active female cast stated in October issues of Hyper Hobby Magazine. She will also offer support to Kamen Rider Drive by carrying around Shift Cars of her own for him to use in battle.

Oh why does this sound like she might end up being rider in the show

Another female Rider would be baller.

What, a female character actually be useful for a change? That would be nice because I'm tired of these secondary characters being nothing more than background. I think Kiva was the last time we had an actual useful main female characters. Granted, the girl in OOO was not terrible, especially when compared to Mai or Kiyomi, but still.
