Description
Makoto Shido is the leader of the Nozama Peston Service, the Amazon extermination team that operates under the guise of a pest control company. Before joining the team, Shido served as a member of the Special Forces within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. His primary motivation for taking on the dangerous work of hunting Amazons is personal: he needs the income to pay for his son's medical treatment. This underlying responsibility shapes his pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to the mission.
Shido is a tactical and experienced leader who prioritizes the safety of his team above all else. He maintains a professional and often gruff demeanor, viewing the extermination of Amazons as a job that must be carried out with efficiency and minimal sentiment. He is deeply distrustful of Nozama Pharmacy, the corporation that created the Amazons, and regards their negligence and prioritization of profit over human life with contempt. This distrust leads him to operate more independently over time, focusing on the survival of his own people rather than blindly serving corporate interests.
In the story of "Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement," Shido and his team continue their work, now operating as a more independent unit. His role in the film is that of a grounded human counterpoint to the ideological battles between the Amazon Riders. He confronts the horrific reality of the Amazon Livestock Project and is forced to make difficult choices, including taking lethal action against Amazon children who have become hostile. His key relationships are with his team members: Nozomi Takai, Kazuya Misaki, and the tame mole Amazon Mamoru. He is fiercely protective of them and feels the weight of leadership, especially when the team faces tragic losses. He also has a grudging respect for Haruka Mizusawa, the Amazon Rider Omega, recognizing Haruka's competence and survival skills even as he fulfills his duty to hunt him.
Shido's development throughout the series and into the film shows a man hardened by tragedy but not broken. He embodies the responsibility of an adult who must bear witness to horrific events and endure them in silence for the sake of his team and his family. He does not possess any supernatural abilities or a Rider form; his capabilities are those of a highly trained soldier. He is a skilled combatant, a proficient tactician, and a competent leader in the field. His notable ability lies in his tactical command and his unyielding resolve to complete the mission while trying to bring his people home alive.
