The Shadow Riders' character designs were overseen by Kenichi Hara. An example of one of these concepts can be seen in [[Nightshroud]], who wears a tight-fitting overcoat with raised shoulders and waistline and gold and green trimmings. His dark dragon mask, similar to that worn by his signature monster "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon]]", is completely black with the exception of blue eye-pieces and a red stone in the center of the forehead. In this incarnation, the bangs closest to his face are postitioned in front of the mask. He carries and Academy-issued [[Duel Disk]] on his left hand.

Another example can be seen in [[Amnael]], who wears a hooded tunic with a flowing red scarf, boots, and a mask with yellow eye-pieces. On his right hand is a glove made of heavier material, and he carries a black model of the Academy-issued Duel Disk on his left despite the second Japanese opening sequence featuring his alter ego with the standard Disk given to all students and staff before his official debut as Amnael. In this incarnation, he has white hair, and the sides of his face are covered in pronounced veins and cracks.
