"*???*"

**Kenpachi Kiokushi** (キオクシホツカ, *Kiokushi Kenpachi*) is a Shinigami enlisting in the Soul Society’s main military force the Gotei 13. She currently holds the position of Captain  of the Eleventh Division, and is the current holder of the title **Kenpachi**  (剣八, *Sword-Eight*). Her trusty lieutenant is Kenzo Shinzui

## Appearance

Kiokushi is an intimidating looking women to say at the very least. Standing at a quite tall height especially for a female at 182.88 cm, she has broad shoulders signifying her upper body strength, she also has an nice pair of toned six pack abs and strong calves and biceps and muscles. All of these attributes give her an athletic build body which is far more perfected and impeccable than the average Shinigami. Kiokushi also has multiple scars on her body giving her the appearance of a street-fighter with her most noticeable scar being the slash on her right eye which she received in a battle, most see scars as a sign of weakness and a blemish to their skin but Kiokushi sees them in a different light saying that having scars is proof or a measure of how good a combatant is, showcasing they’ve been through multiple fights and have been able to triumph all of them in spite of all the scars they’ve received. Kiokushi has ebony skin, of darker complexion than most other Shinigami within the Soul Society.

Although she has a very masculine build, she balances this out with her more feminine qualities such as her big bust which seems to allure some men to her until they get dismissed by her brash behavior. One of her more notable characteristics is her beautiful oceanic navy-blue long hair that's tied into cornrows braids that extend down below her neck all the way to her waist. She also has green eyes that are reminiscent to emeralds, coupled with blue lipstick that she ocassionaly puts on. Kiokushi also has multiple tattooes around her body some of them are tribal tattoos such as the ones on her back, and she has got her hand tattooed with a broken heart symbol and her right arm has a dragon tattoo.

For her clothing and attire, Kiokushi rocks the standardized black Shinigami shihakusho that covers the majority of her body. She also wears it with a pair of getas and white socks.

## Personality

If there’s one singular word to describe Kiokushi in all senses it’d be bombastic. She’s extremely straightforward with her confrontations and doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to speaking the truth, as she always blurts out all her thoughts that she has on a individual. This comes off to many to no surprise as a form disrespect, and this lead to her to be reputed as one who doesn’t care about whether you’re a high ranking officer, noble, or just a regular peasant she treats everyone with the same level of respect always keeping things grounded in reality. Kiokushi believes that classifications and titular positions are nonsensical and in her eyes every Soul is equal and she deems everyone equally as irrelevant to her.

Another major standout trait of Kiokushi’s is her foulmouth, being the epitome of a swearer. Her vocabulary is filled with only vulgar words and profanity much to the chagrin of those around her, who say that she’s the worst person to bring to a formal event due to her improper behavior and tendencies of cussing. She attributes her slang and inappropriate language to being raised up on the “streets” where the influences of gangster life began to seep into her person and molded her into who she is today. As she sought for validation in her life by involving herself with the many gangs and factions in ???, her tone and style of talking has been forever affected by her past life, and many other Shinigami view her as uneducated for not attending any other academic institute until only when she went to Shino Academy, where she fell behind the rest of her students and classmates as she had to juggle learning about Shinigami tactics, history, and information while simultaneously having to stay for after school tutoring for her lagging back compared to others due to her being illiterate and not understanding the concepts of Mathematics, Science, and Philosophy.

While in her days in Shin’o Academy she wasn’t known as a person that was generally smart in academics, there was one thing she really excelled at and that was sparring, duels, and overall the act of fighting in general.

Kiokushi is also a natural-born leader, able to sway people’s minds even if they swore on their life they’d never commit an act. With her unorthodox charisma she’s able to amass a large following of her own in the form of the Eleventh Division, leading them straight into the frontlines of battle with ironclad will and resolve refusing to falter at the face of opposition. Her seriousness for her duty as a warrior inspires other members of the 11th Division to also try to replicate her battle welcoming attitude and drives them through their fights and their desire to follow this woman to the ends of earth.

## Plot

### Soul Revitalization Saga

#### Eight Swords, Eleven Hearts Arc

Kiokushi is introduced walking into the Eleventh Division's squad barracks alongside Taopaipai Nobunaga the fourth seat of the band of ruffians. Immediately as she walks in she gets annoyed by being bombarded with members seeking her out to challenge her to a duel.

## Equipment

**Cross Earrings:** Often disregarded by the average onlooker as just a pair of earrings Kiokushi wears to add on to her fashion style and her own likings, the diamond earrings shaped like crosses that Kiokushi dons actually serve a purpose in combat like almost all of her accesories. With this earrings Kiokushi can unleash a powerful beastly humanoid-like construct made out of Reiatsu. This figure is grandiose in size, and easily towers over majority of living creatures standing at a height of 30480cm. The construct is entirely blue much like Kiokushi's own Reiatsu, and has much similar to the being of Japanese Folklore, the Tengu. The attire of it is also very much alike the clothes and armor worn by Edo Period Samurai and it has two swords that it wields in combat.

## Powers and Abilities

**High Spiritual Power**:

**Expert Swordsman**:

**Hakuda Master**: Arguably Kiokushi's strong suit, Hakuda is her more preferred method of fighting and usually utilizes it more in combat than her Zanjutsu. From her days as a street fighter in Fūdo, she has always had a natural knack for hand to hand combat scenarios especially when she studied at the Shin'o Academy to hone her abilities in each department, with her being one of the top practitioners of Hakuda in her class.

### Zanpakutō

*Further Information:* Myōjū (Zanpakutō spirit)

**Myōjū** (明獣, *Bright Beast):* Kiokushi's Zanpakutō within it's sealed form is it not the most ordinarily looking Zanpakuto in the book, as it takes the appearance of a traditional japanese Kabutowari. It's a very lengthy and thin Zanpakuto rougly around the same size of 35cm, with a heavily detailed scabbard alongside various markings and symbols on it. It has a black hilt with a circular green guard. The blade itself takes a blue-ish hue that is similar to the color of the sea with a pronged cut edge on the side of the sword, it's very pointy with rough edges practically built for stabbing with great force. Attached to the Zanpakutō is a chain that can be used for various purposes.

* Shikai: Kiokushi first made use of her Shikai Myōjū's release command to activate is "**Fight to the Death!**" (死ぬまで戦います！, *Shinu made tatakaimasu!*).

*Shikai Special Ability:* Once released Myōjū's appearance changes into a gigantic Kabutowari towering Kiokushi and everything in her surrounding vicinity probably. It's unfathomable to think someone could even wield a Zanpakuto of such weight and size, but this is just a testament to Kiokushi's own physical strength. This sudden drastic switch in size for the Shikai is already good enough to be utilized in combat to knock down entire buildings and structures and cut down enemies in one fell swoop, but that's not even the real ability of her Zanpakuto. Myōjū as a Shikai allows Kiokushi to morph it into whatever animal or creature, whether it be an organism from mythology or a real existing animal and mix them together by using individual parts and forming a sort of chimera. This gives her a vast myriad of abilities with her Shikai such as with her usage during
