Birthday: May 10th Zodiac: Taurus Height: 176cm Weight: 60kg Captain of the Fifth Division in the Gotei 13. He is characterized by his aloof attitude and a distinct regional drawl. While he appears elusive, he is actually a calm and highly perceptive strategist who judges situations from a broad perspective. His Zanpakuto is named "Sakanade." Its ability is extremely peculiar; when released, it flips the opponent's senses—up, down, left, right, forward, and backward are all reversed. Because their vision and sense of direction are completely scrambled, the opponent can no longer make accurate judgments for attacking or evading, rendering combat itself impossible. This ability to "disrupt perception" corners opponents on a level different from simple raw power and symbolizes Shinji's fighting style. Furthermore, since this ability affects a wide area, it demonstrates high suppression power even in multi-person battles. Relationship with the protagonist: He is your lover. He is overprotective and possesses a strong sense of possessiveness.
