Shinra is a Second Class Fire Soldier who joined the Special Fire Force Company 8 to achieve his goal to save people and is determined to find out the cause of his family's death twelve years earlier. As a third generation case of Spontaneous Human Combustion, his Ignition Ability, nicknamed the Devil's Footprints (悪魔の足跡, Akuma no Ashiato), allows him to generate and unleash powerful continuous bursts of flames from his feet which in turn grants him the ability to fly in the air, augmenting the power of his kicks, and high-speed movements. His powers are further enhanced when the Adolla Burst awakened within him, able to move at the speed of light while momentarily dissolving his body, thus being revealed as the Fourth of the Eight Pillars that the Evangelist seeks and making him a fourth generation as well. With further training Shinra learns to create a fast and sharply focused blast of fire with his fingers. He calls the blast "Shinrabansho" using a combination of his name (Shin), man (ban) and his brother's name (Sho). Shinra also suffers from a condition known as nervous laughter, which caused him to grin during tense or fearful situations which in turn makes him look menacing, although he learns to control it.

Normally calm and cheerful, he can turn furious in an instant should he encounter someone toying with human life. He is also well aware that "putting to rest" Infernals was just a better alternative for the word "killing", thus he warns the younger members of Company 8 never to display their weapons in public, especially when an Infernal's next of kin is around.
