History
Riho had been working as Shido's secretary for some time before the start of the series, but is not told by Shido that he is a vampire or about the existence of nightbreeds. She learns the truth at the end of Episode 1, A Visitor in the Night, after she is possessed by a nightbreed.

In Episode 4, The Golden Dawn, Cain fatally injures her and forces Shido to sire her into a vampire. Shido tells her that she will hate him for turning her into a vampire, but she insists she will never hate him.
