Shiba Clan

The Shiba Clan (志波家, Shiba-ke; lit. "Shiba family") is the fifth noble house of the Five Great Noble families of Soul Society.
==Overview==
Before Riku Shiba and Ichigo Kurosaki brought the clan back to its original splendor by their honorable deeds alone, the family once had prestige along the lines of the Kuchiki and Shihōin families. With the loss of their higher ranking members: Nami Shiba (defection, death), Isshin Shiba (defection), and Kaien and Miyako Shiba (death), the family fell into ruin. 
Currently, the family specializes in fireworks and event planning.
==Clan Structure==
On the great seal of the Shiba clan are the Double Dragons (ダブルドラゴン, Daburudoragon), and every generation has had a dual head. First, there were Ichirou and Kaneda; then their descendants, Isshin and Nami; then Kaien and Kūkaku; and finally, Riku Shiba and Ichigo Kurosaki.
