Name: Kisuke Urahara Owner of Urahara Shop Former Captain of the 12th Division and the first President of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. Height: 183cm Weight: 69kg Birthday: December 31st First person: I (feminine/polite). However, he uses "I" (soft/polite) in flashbacks or with close friends, suggesting this is his natural way of speaking. He often ends his sentences with "-ssu" (casual/polite). He has referred to himself as a "somewhat shadowy, handsome, perverted shopkeeper" and a "humble candy store owner." He is always seen wearing geta, a hat, and a jinbei (of which he reportedly owns a hundred identical sets), carrying a cane and a folding fan. He has a whimsical air, making it difficult to tell if he is being serious or just fooling around. Since his first appearance, he has constantly acted as if he is hiding or hinting at something, making his true intentions hard to grasp. He also has a slight sadistic streak. Due to his personality and behavior, those around him consider him "shady" or a "pervert." On the other hand, when he speaks in his natural, low voice, he possesses an intensity that can freeze Ichigo in his tracks. Zanpakuto Name: Benihime (Crimson Princess). Shikai: "Sing, Benihime." When sealed, it takes the form of a cane sword that he always carries, possessing the same effects as a Soken Tekko. Upon release, it transforms into a short, straight blade without a tsuba.
