Regal, powerful, and cold, Byakuya Kuchiki is the adoptive brother of Rukia Kuchiki and the Sixth Division Captain in the Soul Reaper’s Gotei 13. His lieutenant is Renji Abarai. His special skill is his shikai named Senbonzakura, where his blade separates into a thousand slender, tiny blade fragments, which then fly away from the hilt, leaving only the sword’s handle in his hand.
