First Division, Truth and InnocenceCaptain: Nanaziryoko Myugamine
Zanpakuto: Unknown
Often referred to as the strongest Shinigami to ever live, Nanaziryoko is often times seen as a stern and by the book Captain Commander. Her word is law with only the Central 46 being comparable, though even they often succumb to her will. However, behind closed doors she is shown to be quite friendly and approachable, often consoling and inspiring struggling shinigami. Her age isn't known, and she will never reveal it.
Lieutenant: Goro Sugisaki
Zanpakuto: Kyuoki
A man known for his indifference, he is never seen outside the sight of the Captain Commander. His station often confuses young shinigami into believing him to be the strongest Lieutenant, for which they would be mistaken.
Second Division, Seek NothingCaptain: Jiro Funaki
Zanpakuto: Michibashiri
Currently the youngest Captain, Jiro is known as the fastest shinigami in the Gotei 13. He has a playful personality, often seen with a trusting smile across his face. He is known to take pleasure in teasing the members of his division.
Lieutenant: Nanako Tanata
Zanpakuto: Shizukana kaze
Despite her looks, Nanako is a serious woman, and she is most often the butt of her Captains jokes. She takes care of the majority of the second divisions duties while her Captain wanders around Seireitei.
Third Division, DespairCaptain: Tomu Hirasan
Zanpakuto: Tarutarosu
Tomu Hirasan rarely smiles. In fact, there is currently a reward placed by Jiro Funaki for evidence that the man has ever smiled. He is the embodiment of his Division and carries that with honor.
Lieutenant: Miratu Asigiri
Zanpakuto: WÄrudoÄŤtÄ
Miratu walks in a constant state of injury, often being able to only get around by his crutch. It is believed that his Zanpakuto spirit is so violent, that every time he tries to communicate with it past shikai, the spirit nearly kills him. He doesn't like to be pitied and will often shrug off those who try to comfort him. He is a straightforward individual who will not respond well to disrespect.
Fourth Division, Those Who Grieve Are LovedCaptain: Nikku Runiko
Zanpakuto: YasashÄŤ Atataka-sa
Often taking first in Shinigami women's polls for favorite Captain, Nikku is a kind and honest man who is known for his hospitality to all shinigami, even those outside the division. Despite his youthful appearance, pictures exist of him with the Captain Commander as old as a thousand years.
Lieutenant: Ceri Hikkigaya
Zanpakuto: Shisen o shizumeru
Known as a timid and reserved woman, Ceri is often silent in important matters and will often only share her opinion with her Captain. Despite this reserved nature, she is known as one of the best healers in Seireitei.
Fifth Division, Sacrifice, Danger, Pure Love, Humility, SweetnessCaptain: RĹra Myugamine
Zanpakuto: Suiren
As the daughter of the Captain Commander, RĹra has mighty big shoes to fill. Due to this reason she often comes across as elegant, yet rebellious, often making it difficult to discern what she is actually thinking. To her, her motherâs word is law and she will never fail to carry it out.
Lieutenant: Keito Kenziko
Zanpakuto: HarikÄn
One could make a case that Keito is one of the bravest shinigami around. One could also make the case that he is one of the most stupid. Never thinking before leaping, Keito has a tendency to jump head first into danger at a momentâs notice. Always earnest, he has a boy-like quality that endears him to others.
Sixth Division, Noble Reason Captain: Ganji Uchigen
Zanpakuto: Saigo no toppĹŤ
Born to one of the great noble houses, Ganji is an incredibly skilled warrior. With many already pegging him to be the next Captain Commander, this man of few words seems to have limitless potential. Ganji has a reputation as being a stoic man who mostly keeps to himself and rarely shares his views on policies within soul society.
Lieutenant: Oryaka Mino
Zanpakuto: Min'yĹ
A gifted young man with a mind for strategy and Kido. Much like his Captain, he is ever calm and silent, rarely showing his emotions to the outside world.
Seventh Seat:
Gen SakumotoZapakuto: Mizu no Kishi
Gen is one of the best in his squad. He's most notable for not needing to recite the entire spell. While he may not be the fastest in his squad, he certainly is quick on his feet. Gen is good at using shunpo multiple times but he can only go short distances at the moment. Upon releasing his shikai Mizu no Kishi loses its form altogether to become a ring of liquid. By moving the hilt of the zapakuto Gen is able to shoot the water in various directions and can call them back when needed. Ultimately the zanpakuto is good for defense. Gen is by far the friendliest shinigami you will come across however he's also very competitive and can be quite blunt with his words.
Seventh Division, CourageCaptain: Kaiden Hachigane
Zanpakuto: DĹbu~tsuen no shiikukakari
Believed to be as old as the Captain Commander, Kaiden is a wise and well respected Captain who treats his subordinates and fellow Captains with respect and honor. Rarely seen without one of his many pets, he has a reputation for collecting animals of varying ages and species, and making homes for them in the division barracks. For this reason he is often scolded by his lieutenant and the Captain Commander.
Lieutenant: Shizuru Hachigane
Zanpakuto: Monban
Grand-daughter of her Captain, rumors often circle within other divisions that she was given her position through connections rather than actual skill. Due to her age and inexperience, she is often ignored by members of the squad. Despite this she is very upfront and will address any issues that come her way.
Eighth Division, Everything Is ObtainedCaptain: Shinichiro Megami
Zanpakuto: KyĹhaku kan'nen
Widely regarded as the best swordsman outside of Kenpachi, Shinichiro is a stern, training-obsessed Captain who rarely does his duties as Captain, often leaving it to his lieutenant. He is considered the best Hakuda specialist in the Gotei 13, winning a Shinigami tournament 98 years in a row.
Lieutenant: Hiro Eitei
Zanpakuto: BakkubĹn
More of a clerk than anything, Hiro runs the Eighth Division, as his Captain shows little interest in doing so. Despite his secretary like status, he earned his seat and should not be taken lightly.
Ninth Division, OblivionCaptain: Kazuya Kinazuo
Zanpakuto: Hanran-gun no sakebigoe
Probably the most rebellious of the Captains, Kazuya rarely obeys orders and will more often than not go out of his way to anger the other Captains. His rebellious attitude stems more from a desire to just do what in his mind is right. His Captain status is constantly on thin ice.
Lieutenant: Rei Wakizen
Zanpakuto: Baretto
In direct opposition to his Captain, Rei is a stickler for the rules and will often report his Captain for breaking them. Despite this, he is still loyal to his Captain, willing to face any challenge the two may encounter. He will often rat out other shinigami to the Captain Commander, much to the annoyance of said Commander.
Tenth Division, MysteryCaptain: Junichi Ichiran
Zanpakuto: KĹya no Ĺ
A relatively new Captain, Junichi is known for his laid back deposition and nervousness around the other Captains. Still viewing himself as a Lieutenant, he will often reveal his more humorous side in the company of lower shinigami and Lieutenants.
Lieutenant: Mia Onayoko
Zanpakuto: Horonigai
Due to the indecisive nature of her Captain, Mia can basically do whatever she wants within the Division. She rarely takes things seriously and will often involve herself in the matters of others just for something to do.
Eleventh Division, FightCaptain: Kenpachi Hakarashi
Zanpakuto: GurÄtodibaido
Given the name Kenpachi as the Captain of the Eleventh Division, Hakarashi is a man obsessed with fighting. His greatest wish is to die on the battlefield, and his greatest strength is his feral prowess on the field. Often seen laughing during combat, many believe Hakarashi to be insane. Off the battlefield he is confrontational and arrogant.
Lieutenant: Currently vacant. The last Lieutenant challenged Hakarashi for the title of Captain and Kenpachi. Those who saw the fight said it was over in less than five seconds. A new record for Kenpachi.
Twelfth Division, Vengeance, Strictness, IndependenceCaptain: Nagi Shironame
Zanpakuto: MaddohattÄ
The mad scientist of the Gotei 13, Nagi has a reputation for going above and beyond to see his experiments to their full potential. He is often at odds with the other Captains, mostly as a result of him going past reasonable boundaries in the name of science. He is known to be sarcastic, witty, and will often talk down to others.
Lieutenant: Chiho Hosoi
Zanpakuto: NingyĹ
Probably the only one trusted enough within the Twelfth Division to keep Nagi in check, Chiho Hosoi is a tomboyish girl with a genius level IQ and a real knack for annoying her Captain. If someone needs something from Magi, most just approach Chiho as she has a way to manipulate him unlike any other.
Thirteenth Division, HopeCaptain: Kira Hanakonawa
Zanpakuto: Kyoei kokoro
Born to one of the Great Noble Houses, Kira Hanakonawa has earned the respect of her fellow Captains and shinigami not through name, but through action. She is a proud woman with a laundry list of accomplishments. Even in times of great peril, she exhibits a calming maturity and fortitude.
Lieutenant: Maria Watanabe
Zanpakuto: Morosa
A recently seated Lieutenant, Maria has idolized Kira since she entered the Thirteenth Division. Straightforward and honest, Maria tends to be shy around others from different divisions and will rarely approach them. She has a habit of stuttering when talking to people she doesn't know.
