Ichijou Tomohide

"*Listen up! Here in the Gotei 13 the only thing that matters is your name and your seat! You! I'm a higher seat than you are so that means you're my inferior! You understand what that means, don't you? It means I'm the one in charge around here!*"

**Ichijou Tomohide** (条知秀, *Tomohide Ichijou*) is a Shinigami occupying the 6th Seat of the Thirteenth Division.

## Appearance

Ichijou is a male Shinigami of average height with spiky green hair and bangs that frame both sides of his face. He has sharp facial features, including small irises in his eyes which gives him an overall arrogant look. He is often seen to wear expressions of agitation as he is short tempered. He has fair skin and wears the standard Shikahasho becoming of his rank.

## Personality

Ichijou believes that people are to be judged by their position and their name. He sees himself fit to order around Sakata simply due to being a single seat higher than her. He also believes that the rest of the members of the 13th Division idolize him due to his higher rank compared to them. He even refers to those in his division by their position, for example, referring to Sakata as "7th Seat" rather than her actual name.

According to Ichijou, those who have "Ichi" in their name are destined for greatness. This is in line with the beliefs of former 11th Division Lieutenant Ikkaku Madarame.

Sakata considers him to be a mess, seeing as how Ichijou was spending his morning drinking sake when he had a mission at hand that he was supposed to be doing. Ichijou even tried to pay Sakata off to do his work for him, showing just how lazy he can be.

## Plot

### TWISTS and TURNS Arc

*Main article: TWISTS and TURNS*
Despite having a mission to tend to, Ichijou spends the morning drinking sake in the 13th Division's barracks alongside many other unseated Shinigami who admire him due to his seated position. He insults Sakata who was sitting nearby performing Jinzen, considering her to be a bore due to not joining in with their party. Sakata and Ichijou then trade insults back and forth before Ichijou remembers he had a mission to complete and asks Sakata to assist him in completing it.

When the two arrived upon the scene it was revealed that the mission Ichijoi was putting off was one that consisted of mopping a street of cow dung. He and Sakata stand around staring at one another seeing who will budge first and actually complet the task.

He is ultimately robbed by Sakata after he attempts to pay her to do the job for him as she takes the money from his hand and vanishes away using Shunpo.

## Abilities and Powers

**Spiritual Power**: As the 6th Seat of his respective division, Ichijou has above average spiritual power.

**Shunpo Practitioner**: Ichijou was shown using Shupno to traverse a distance of 20 feet in the blink of an eye. However, though he refuses to admit it, he does not possess a great deal of skill in the art at all, as he quickly tired after using it just once and was forced to walk the rest of the distance thereafter.

## Trivia

* Ichijou was created on December 10th, 2021.
