"What kind of journalist would come here for a story? There's clearly something wrong with this man."

—Shinji, conversing with Yuu

"I certainly hope I was no burden to you. Please allow me to apologize."

—Shinji, upon reaching the Security Room

Shinji Kitano is a survivor appearing in Dead Rising.

He is found in Sir Book-a-lot during the scoop Japanese Tourists, along with Yuu Tanaka. As the name of the scoop suggests, he is a Japanese tourist who does not speak any English.

Japanese Tourists

Main article: Japanese Tourists

Shinji is found in Sir Book-a-lot in Wonderland Plaza with fellow tourist Yuu. As neither of them speaks English, and Frank West speaks no Japanese, they are initially unable to understand one another.

Using a Japanese language book, Frank is able to communicate with them in broken Japanese. He offers to bring them to safety, and after some hesitation and arguing, Shinji and Yuu agree to follow him.

Infinity Mode

Main article: Infinity Mode

In Infinity Mode, Shinji appears in Colombian Roastmasters at Al Fresca Plaza from 3:07:00 to 3:19:00, and he is unarmed. He also carries Yogurt, a Paint Can, a Bucket, a Push Broom, and a Hanger.

Trivia

• Shinji is one of the few survivors who follows another survivor instead of Frank; in this case, he follows Yuu.
  • Because of this, it is very easy for him to die if he runs into a group of zombies that has gathered around Yuu.
• Although Shinji only speaks Japanese, he calls for help in English, likely due to game limitations.
• In Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, Shinji is found in Lovely Fashion House instead of Sir Book-a-lot.
• Both Shinji and Yuu have a Photo Op worth up to 5,000 PP each. Before joining Frank, they bow, providing an ideal moment for a snapshot.
• Shinji is one of the three best gunners in the game, along with Yuu and Bill Brenton.
• There are zombies around the mall who wear an outfit similar to Shinji's.
