Bleach Official Bootleg: 13th Division
Ukitake Juushirou, the captain
Wrapped up in friendships.
A man who is the most gentle and sincere of all the captains in the 13 Protection Divisions. Every time he sees Captain Hitsugaya, whose name is similar to his, he forces candy on him.
Birthday/ December 21
Height/ 187 cm
Weight/ 72 kg
Zanpakutou/ Sougyo no Kotowari
Phrase/ All the waves become my shield, all the thunder become my blade; 'Sougyo no Kotowari'
Haori Underside/ the color of fresh blood
Hobby/ bonsai
Skill/ making friends
Foods/
Loves: ohagi ((trans. note: riceballs in various coatings, e.g. sesame seeds or bean paste))
Hates: nothing
How he spends his time off/
-Caring for the bonsai in his garden
-Feeding the carp in the pond by the Hall of Heavenly Rains
Special Notes: (Top secret!)
His hobby is caring for his bonsai, but Ukitake has no idea where and how he should cut it, and zero aesthetic sense. He's publishing a series called "Sougyo Refuses!" which is an action-adventure story in which the main character, Sougyo, fights evil and saves innocent villagers. Sougyo's catchphrase, "I refuse you!", is tremendously popular among the children of Seireitei. It's out of print, but when it's published, it's always in the top three most popular serials.
((trans. note: Ukitake's series is full of puns on the name of his zanpakutou. His main character is named Sougyo, and "Kotowari" can mean "refusal" in Japanese -- hence everything else.))
Battle Data
Because of his illness, he frequently has to return to the Hall of Heavenly Rains and lie down, and so his physical strength suffers slightly.
The 13th Division Flower: Summer Snowflake
[ hope ]
Perhaps because of Captain Ukitake's gentle nature, the soldiers of the 13th division all have a steadfast unity. They have no lieutenant, and so those responsibilities are fulfilled by the two third-seat officers.
"I wish this calm could have lasted just a little longer..."
Ever since losing his lieutenant Kaien in a battle with a Hollow, Captain Ukitake has tried to avoid conflict to the best of his ability. But when his subordinate, Kuchiki Rukia, received the death sentence, he took steps to prevent it. That's the kind of man Captain Ukitake is, which is likely why the the 13th division has such a warm, supportive atmosphere.
Shiba Kaien, former lieutenant
A handsome man who managed the 13th division in place of his sick and bedridden captain. There's a rumor that one of the ryoka who invaded Seireitei recently bore a great resemblance to him.
Birthday/ October 27
Height/ 183 cm
Weight/ 68 kg
Zanpakutou/ Nejibana
Phrase/ Surge, divine waves, 'Nejibana'
Hobby/ afternoon naps
Skill/ making friends

Loves: ohagi ((trans. note: riceballs in various coatings, e.g. sesame seeds or bean paste))
Hates: nothing
How he spends his time off/
-Keeping up with his subordinates' training
-Returning to his family home in Rukongai
Special Notes: (Top secret!)
Back when the Shiba clan was still one of the five great noble families, Kaien found a wounded boar piglet in the mountains in Rukongai, and brought back Ganju's precious Bonnie-chan to be raised by the family. Bonnie-chan's ribbon is a gift from Kaien. To this day she still isn't as attached to Ganju because she loved Kaien so much. The Shiba family's guardsmen, Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko, were in charge of Kaien and Kuukaku's education when they were younger. After the Shiba clan's decline, only these two servants remained behind to continue working for the family.
His body is weak but his bonds are strong! The virtuous Captain Ukitake
Captain Ukitake's body has been weak ever since he was born. Kotetsu and Kotsubaki, his third-seat officers, provide him with their utmost support. These two care a little too intensely about their captain, and often get into heated discussion about which one of them cares the most for him. They're very good friends.
The substitute lieutenants: The two third-seats
Instead of having a lieutenant, these two undertake all those duties. Only the 13th division has such an unusual hierarchy. But for whatever reason, these two are a pretty famous combination.
Kotsubaki Sentarou, third seat
Birthday/ September 22
Height/ 183 cm
Weight/ 75 kg
Wherever he is, you can find him easily, because he has a very loud voice. Despite his grim-set features and rude way of speaking, he's a passionate and friendly man. He's determined not to lose to Kiyone in the battle for Captain Ukitake's respect.
Kotetsu Kiyone, third seat
Birthday/ September 22
Height/ 154 cm
Weight/ 43 kg
The younger sister of the 4th division lieutenant, Kotetsu Isane. She's as dramatic a contrast to her tall sister as a knife to a sword. She's absolutely determined not to lose to Sentarou in the battle for Captain Ukitake's respect.
Kuchiki Rukia, soldier
Although she's just an ordinary soldier with no official rank, in fact, she is a young woman of character who possesses the power of a higher-ranking officer. Her brother-in-law Kuchiki Byakuya's influence is behind this unusual circumstance. Abarai Renji of the 6th division is her childhood friend.
Birthday/ January 14
Height/ 144 cm
Weight/ 33 kg
Zanpakutou/ Sode no Shirayuki
Phrase/ Dance, 'Sode no Shirayuki'
Hobby/ climbing up to tall places
Foods/
Loves: cucumber with rice dumplings
Hates: nothing
The 13th division's mystery: The absence of a lieutenant
The 13th division is the only division with an empty lieutenant's seat. The funeral rites for the previous lieutenant, Kaien, continue to this day-- They lost so much.
A person who can never be replaced
After a Hollow killed his wife, Kaien swore to avenge her, but instead the Hollow possessed his own body. Rukia witnessed this, although she wasn't supposed to be there, and Kaien threw himself upon her sword. He murmured to her, "Thank you. Thanks to you, I can leave my heart here..." and then died -- but he left behind deep scars that have never healed.
