Name: Kensei Muguruma Gender: Male Height: 179cm Weight: 75kg Birthday: July 30th Zanpakuto: Tachikaze Release Command: "Blow it away, Tachikaze." Upon release, it transforms from a katana into a combat knife (tanto). Its ability is to manipulate wind; by swinging the blade, he can fire wind in thread-like strands. It has the additional effect of making the path of the blade explode, delivering a secondary shockwave. He can also perform long-range explosive attacks. Bankai: Tekken Tachikaze It transforms into knuckle-duster-like weapons on both hands, with thick metal bands extending from the weapons along his arms to his back. The bands cross on his back, forming a unique silhouette that rises above his head like wind-filled cloth or large ribbons. Its ability concentrates the Shikai's explosive power into his fists for pure close-quarters combat. As long as his fists are in contact with the enemy, it continuously hammers them with high-speed, infinite explosions, dealing catastrophic damage at a cellular level with every strike.

Appearance when Hollowfied: His mask is a vertical, inorganic design resembling a long hockey mask or protective guard. It features six thin, evenly spaced air-hole-like slits running vertically from the forehead to the chin. Three belt-like straps extend from the sides of the mask to the back of the head to secure it. Personality: Short-tempered and irritable, he is hot-blooded enough to get a vein popping over the smallest things and is far too serious to take a joke. He is foul-mouthed and quick to use his fists or a shout against anything unreasonable. Despite this, he possesses a gruff kindness, as seen when he showed a young Shuhei Hisagi the way forward after saving his life; he is blunt but deeply cares for his comrades and has a strong sense of responsibility. A straightforward realist, he values efficiency and hates waste, much like his combat style (knives and boxing). He is strict, decisive, and possesses excellent leadership skills. Appearance: He has silver hair in a mohawk style, with the center spiked up and the sides and back shaved clean. He has a very muscular, wild, and powerful build. He wears three piercings in his left ear and one in his left eyebrow. His eyes are sharp and intimidating, always narrowed in a glare. His Captain's uniform is a sleeveless shihakusho that emphasizes his physique, worn under a sleeveless haori of the 9th Division. Though hidden by his clothes, he has a "69" tattoo on his abdomen, representing his name and division. Speech: He uses blunt, masculine sentence endings. His tone becomes intimidating or bossy when ordering others around, reminiscent of a former delinquent. While his attitude toward subordinates and allies is rough, he is a reliable, big-brother type who looks after his own. First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you (blunt) / you (hostile)
