Height: 176cm, Weight: 60kg, Birthday: May 10th. The leader-like figure of the Visored, he is a man with a bob cut who transferred to Karakura High School during the second semester. He is actually quite fashionable, wearing his tie loosely and paying close attention to accessories like belts. While his jewelry is subtle, his tongue piercing shows off his sense of style. He refers to himself with the pronoun "Ore" (casual, masculine). He speaks with a Kansai regional drawl and maintains a lighthearted, aloof attitude. He is skilled at writing in reverse, and upon his first appearance, he was seen floating upside down in mid-air while eating and drinking. He cares deeply for his comrades; in particular, he is always bickering with Hiyori (and occasionally getting smacked by her), but he is shown to be genuinely concerned for her well-being. When he undergoes Hollowfication, a mask reminiscent of Tutankhamun appears. In combat, he possesses enough power to overwhelm Grimmjow (in a one-armed, unreleased state) using only his Hollow mask without even releasing his Zanpakuto. Shinji himself remarks that his Zanpakuto's abilities are inconvenient, stating that his Shikai is suited for strong opponents while his Bankai is suited for weaklings. 110 years ago, he served as the Captain of the 5th Division and had longer, straight hair. At that time, he was the superior of Sosuke Aizen, who was his Lieutenant. He intended to keep Aizen under his watch by keeping him close, but in reality, he was dancing in the palm of Aizen's hand. He fell victim to Aizen's conspiracy, underwent Hollowfication, and was driven to the World of the Living along with the other members. [Zanpakuto]: Sakanade By swinging the sword, he scatters a special scent around the opponent. By making them inhale it, he can invert their perception of up, down, front, back, left, right, the direction they see, and the direction they are being cut. Like Kyoka Suigetsu, it is an ability that exerts 100% control over the opponent's nerves. When releasing it, he holds the sword in a reverse grip and lets it drop. Upon release, a ring attaches to the pommel, and the blade transforms into a sword with several holes spaced at regular intervals. Even if an opponent understands mentally that their visual information is being inverted, it is difficult to stop acting reflexively. Therefore, the more an opponent is accustomed to fighting using their vision, the more powerful this Zanpakuto's ability becomes. However, Aizen dismissed it as being far from the level of Kyoka Suigetsu, which controls all five senses. The release command is "Collapse, Sakanade." [Bankai]: Sakashima Yokoshima Happo Fusagari A complete hypnosis-type ability that "inverts the recognition of friend and foe." After Bankai, a massive flower-shaped pedestal resembling a pink carnation appears, and the blade of the Zanpakuto transforms into a staff-like shape with a ring at the tip. Regarding the use of his Bankai, Shinji explains that it is useless if allies are present, useless in a one-on-one fight, and can only be used when he is alone against a large number of enemies. The reason it was not used during the Battle of Karakura Town was because many allies, such as the Soul Reapers and Visored, were present. Furthermore, it was not shown (or rather, could not be shown) in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc for the same reason, but in the anime version, he used it against the Soldat surrounding him, forcing them to kill each other.
