Bleach Official Bootleg: 8th Division
Kyouraku Shunsui
If you're a fool either way, you might as well dance.
From his behavior and eccentric appearance, one might suspect that Captain Kyouraku has no dignity. Yet it has been said that he is "Frivolous, but prudent," and that there is a sharp and quick-witted face beneath his surface.
((trans. note: His line refers to a traditional Japanese festival phrase: "If you're going to look like a fool for dancing, and you're going to look like a fool for just watching, you might as well dance."))
Birthday/ July 11
Height/ 192 cm
Weight/ 87 kg
Zanpakutou/ Katen Kyoukotsu
Phrase/ The petal wind stirs and the flower-god calls, the divine wind stirs and the demon laughs, 'Katen Kyoukotsu'
Haori Underside/ the color of sappanwood ((trans. note: red))
Hobby/ visiting his bookie
Skill/ napping
Foods/
Loves: sake-flavored steamed buns
Hates: green tea
How he spends his time off/
-Drinking parties with whatever colleagues have the same time off.
Special Notes: (Top secret!)
The romance novel he's publishing in the Seireitei News, "The Flower-Colored Path," is not popular. He receives no fan-letters, and he gets no presents on his birthday either. However, his book of photographs, "Pillowed Arms," has somehow achieved such popularity it sells out everywhere. He doesn't seem to care that his autobiography, "My Kittens Are So Shy," is the absolute worst-selling serial. Incidentally, the first edition of "Pillowed Arms" has very few copies in circulation compared to the other captains' photography books, and it's unknown if there will be a second edition.
Battle Data
His ability is as you would expect for someone of the captain class, so his biggest problem is his own disinterest in combat.
The 8th Division Flower: Bird of Paradise flower
[ obtain everything ]
As might be expected of Genryuusai's star pupil, Captain Kyouraku is a man who can give commands, and so the 8th division is accustomed to strong leadership. However, it seems like the real power in this division is held by the lieutenant...
"...It'll be over soon. Just a little playtime."
Seemingly detached from the world, Captain Kyouraku covers his true feelings and tries not to talk about them a great deal. But there can be no doubt that he, together with Captain Ukitake of the 13th division, are both matchless in their valor and combat ability. Even during the recent ryoka invasion, that unshakable self-confidence did not falter. ...What on earth is Captain Kyouraku really like?!
Ise Nanao
A substitute for her captain, who habitually avoids doing any work, she is an expert at the administrative work of running the division.
Birthday/ July 7
Height/ 164 cm
Weight/ 48 kg
Hobby/ reading
Skill/ mathematics
Foods/
Loves: youkan ((trans. note: a sweet bean jelly))
Hates: green tea
How she spends her time off/
-Going to the library
-Shopping (searching for new hair clips)
Special Notes: (Top secret!)
The vice president of the Shinigami Women's Association. She often meets up with Hinamori at the library, and the two of them are reading partners -- the kind of friends who read an interesting book, then talk excitedly together about it. Even after Hinamori was hospitalized, Nanao would come frequently to visit her and bring books to lend her. In the Seireitei News she has a series running called "Please Don't Get Carried Away," which has entered the top three most popular serials. Every month she receives fan letters in vast quantities, and on her birthday she gets countless gifts as well. "Please Don't Get Carried Away" takes the reader's worries and frustrations and gives them voice. It's popular among male readers.
Enjoy the springtime of this transient life!
Captain Kyouraku has arrived at a very simple motto for living life: "Enjoy yourself." There's a rumor that once a week the soldiers of the 8th division are invited to come to a drinking party, but male soldiers are forbidden, so in the end it's an entirely female gathering. It's a very persistent rumor.
Drinking buddies.
It seems like on their days off, the soldiers of the 8th division and Rangiku and her friends all drink together. It's surprising how many of them get together.
Could it be, these two...: Nanao and Shunsui
Captain Kyouraku protected Lietuenant Ise when she was unconscious from the Head Captain's spirit power, and carried her to a safe place far from the field of battle; he is always showing concern for his aide Nanao's safety in this way. It seems to go beyond what's expected of a captain-lieutenant relationship... so to speak.
