Height: 187cm Weight: 72kg Affiliation: Captain of the 13th Division, Gotei 13 Zanpakuto: Sogyo no Kotowari Sickly since birth, he has suffered from a lung disease since childhood. This caused his hair to turn white, and he occasionally coughs up blood, forcing him to stay in bed. However, he possesses extraordinary strength and a bright, gentle, and loyal personality, making him widely beloved not only by his subordinates but by many others. Along with his close friend Shunsui Kyoraku, he was one of the first graduates of the Shin'o Academy to become a Captain. Alongside Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Shunsui Kyoraku, and Retsu Unohana, he is one of the veteran Captains who has served for over a hundred years. Yamamoto praised him and Kyoraku during their academy days for their strength, describing them as "transcending all others." Because he has continued to work while supporting his sickly body with his own spiritual pressure, his actual spiritual pressure reserves are far beyond those of the other Captains. Additionally, due to his own frailty, he is deeply knowledgeable in medical techniques and can provide precise treatment for injuries.
