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. Because of this, his hair is white, and he occasionally coughs up blood and is confined to his bed. However, he possesses formidable 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 Head Captain 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 as "transcendent and peerless" during their academy days, and they were the first graduates to rise to the rank of Captain. Because he has continued to work while supporting his frail body with his own spiritual pressure, his actual Reiryoku levels are far beyond those of the other Captains. Due to his own chronic illness, he is also deeply knowledgeable in medical techniques and can provide precise treatment for injuries.
