Rider is a dark-skinned Inkling boy who wears the topknot hairstyle. He wears the Black Inky Rider, Octoling Boots, and Fake Eye Contacts. In Splatoon 2 he has seemed to swap out his Octoling Boots for Punk Blacks. Rider's eyes are always in a brooding gaze, giving him a more serious look than other Inklings. Although his ink and eye colors are yellow-green to match his team's motif, he can change this at will. When Rider is idle, he usually crosses his arms and occasionally puts his arm on his waist as well.
