Tenken

== Info ==
Tenken is the manifested Zanpakutō spirit. He is owned by Sajin Komamura. Tenken's bankai is Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō. His debut is Episode 230. Tenken is voiced by Masafumi Kimura in the japanese dub and by Neil Kaplan in the English version of the anime. 
== Appearance ==
Tenken's physical manifestation takes the form of a large, muscular, red-skinned man with spiky blue hair and an ornate golden headpiece on his forehead. He has large blue eyebrows, which merge with his sideburns, and his eyes are filled with a bright yellow light while fire constantly crackles within his mouth. His neck and shoulders are covered by a thick, segmented black shawl, and he wears a strip of golden fabric, connected to a red pauldron on his left shoulder, which crosses his body diagonally and covers his upper legs. He wears a thick black rope tied around his waist in a semi-ornate bow, and wears a red cloth with a yellow border over a black kilt with a ragged hem. He wears large, two-toed wooden shoes, a segmented black gauntlet on each wrist, and a black bracelet on each bicep.
== Personality ==
While under the influence of Muramasa's brainwashing, Tenken is very brutal in battle, mercilessly attacking and cutting down Sajin Komamura without saying a word to him. He is good friends with Gonryōmaru, and frequently calms him down whenever Gonryōmaru becomes angered by his opponent. According to Gonryōmaru, Tenken usually keeps to himself, and can be shy and reserved. Tenken is very protective of Gonryōmaru, and remains unable to focus on his fight with Kenpachi Zaraki until the latter cuts Gonryōmaru down. After being freed from Muramasa's brainwashing, Tenken is on much better terms with Komamura, willingly fighting alongside him during their defense of the Human World with Ichigo Kurosaki from an onslaught of Gillians.
== Equipment ==
Bolas: Tenken wields a pair of bolas, which he can wreath in fire at will. He has used them to restrict an opponent and pull them toward him, as well as attack them at both close-[6] and long-range.
== Trivia ==
* His name means Heavenly Punishment
* Though Tenken generates fire and wields bolas, Sajin Komamura has never been seen doing either of these things.
