Following a series of earthquakes which nearly destroyed the San Vanelona in 2008, the city is reconstructed as New San Vanelona, with Shingo continuing to live and skateboard within the city. In 2009, with Reg's no longer in operation, Shingo may not be sponsored at this time. However, he is known to be affiliated with Slappy, the owner of Slappy's, another local skate shop which remained open following the disaster. He appears as a participant in a number of challenges, such as Alphabet Yard, KOTM Qualifier 1, and Foundation Flickfest.

Skate 3
In 2010, Shingo has relocated to the city of Port Carverton, where he attends Port Carverton University as a student of film and photography. Following the Legend's release from hospital, Giovanni Reda departs as the player's cameraman and appoints Shingo as his replacement. From this point on, Shingo follows the player and operates the camera used to film for the remainder of the game.
