Sixth Division

The Sixth Division (六番隊, rokubantai; "Squad 6" in the English Dub) is one of the Gotei 13, headed by Captain Byakuya Kuchiki.
==Organization==
The sixth Division follows the traditional organization of a Gotei 13 Division.
There are two exceptions to the strict uniform rule of the 6th Division:
*Lieutenant Riku June Kuchiki wears a deep green, long sleeved, and high collared haori with silver edges over a black single breasted modern day jacket with silver threading. The jacket is fastened with three silver buttons with the Kuchiki Family, Shiba Family, and Ishida Family crests pressed into them. Tied around her waist over a modified version of the standard hakama is her husband's silver-white, windflower light silk scarf. She also forgoes the white tabi and waraji for modern white flat shoes.
*The second exception is that elites are distinguished by wearing a white, sleeveless haori (shorter than the ones captains wear) with purple edges and held together at the opening by a red string, over their standard shihakushō.
==Special Duties==
No special duties have been noted for the 6th Division. The 6th Division is seen as a model division by every Shinigami and is known for its strict adherence to rules.
==Barracks==
Like all the other barracks, the 6th Division Barracks house the offices and living quarters of the Shinigami of the 6th. The barracks also contain a division prison ward (隊舎牢, teisharō; Viz "Detention Area"), a wide cell containing a single mattress, window, and ornate chair where prisoners of any division are held until they are transferred to a more secure facility like Senzaikyū. Byakuya's office is notable for having shelves of books lining its walls, and Riku's office is notable for being the only office that is ornately decorated. 
==Notable Members==
==Recruitment==
Rule breakers are not tolerated in the 6th Division and Captain Kuchiki will make certain members caught breaking the rules will be strictly punished. Members of the division are also encouraged to always use proper greetings as this is the first foundation of a relationship.

Frank talk!! with the 3rd Division lieutenant, Izuru Kira
The 6th Division, huh...? Their captain seems... well, I'm a little jealous. His wife Lady Kuchiki is sweet, and her tea is amazing. It's a good place, isn't it, the 6th Division? And Abarai-kun... We have good memories together, he's a really good guy. Not that bright, though.
