Shion is known as the rich kid among the protagonists, being the heir of the Kiba family which is one of the most wealthy and influential clans in Tokyo. Despite his status, he lives the normal life with the commoners. Aside from cardfighting, he’s also a talented fencer; he’s labeled as the “King of Combo Attacks” due to his hasty yet on-point strikes with the rapier.
While Chrono is known as the loner who has poor social skills and is easily mistaken to be a delinquent because of his serious looks, Shion is the complete opposite of him, being charismatic, social and approachable. That behavior, together with his good luck, is what makes him being the object of affection for smitten fangirls, which may end up being a setback if that goes out of control.
However, underneath that good-looking mask, he tends to be envious, especially when he realizes that Chrono has grown a lot stronger than him in such a short time. Plus, he tends to have self-confidence issues. Because of his pride, which drives him to achieve his goals no matter what, he’ll make sure that he’ll be on the same level as him no matter what.
Later on, he became one of the members of Team Try3 alongside Chrono and Tokoha Anjou. However, because of the team's loss against Team Demise during the regional tournament and the pressure of his mission as the heir, he almost ended up quitting Vanguard. However, during that cardfight against Chrono so that his feelings would be clarified, he decided to press on and continue his dream of becoming a better cardfighter.
He uses the Royal Paladin deck with Blue Sky Knight, Atmile as his ace card. Atmile's GB2 skill grants the whole front row the permanent power boost, and his on-stride skill allows him to superior call up to two units from his hand as well as providing more power boosts to two chosen units.
