Yakitori Yasuyoshi

**Yakitori Yasuyoshi** (安吉 焼き鳥, *Yasuyoshi Yakitori*), or better known within Rakuhen as **Lady Tori**, is the founder and owner of **Rakuhen Drift**. In her past, she was known as one of the original 13 Captains of the Gotei 13, surveying over the Thirteenth Division, but left after Hakuchi Tsunayashiro stepped down as Captain Commander, whom of which was replaced by Enryaku Tsunayashiro, deciding that she did not want to be under the new Captain Commander's rule, thus leading to her "mysterious disappearance".

She serves as an ally for the main protagonists, making her debut within the Shambled Society Arc, initially as the **Masked Figure**.

## Personality

Yakitori, during her initial debut as the Masked Figure, came off as a forceful man that wanted to abduct people into becoming "actors" for an unknown event, going as far as murdering Zaraki residents because they declined the offer. He seemed to have a flamboyant-like personality, if not playful and annoying. It was later revealed that Yakitori is a female, and that she based her personality after her little brother, Mochinen Yasuyoshi, admitting that she didn't do a good job at impersonating him, and is having a hard time matching his mannerisms.

In truth, Yakitori is a very calm and collected woman, if not bold and brash at times, that seems to genuinely care for the overall populace of the worlds. She often displays a playful sort of personality that livens up the room whenever she's in one. During her time as Captain, the stories she's depicted in portray her as a merciless woman that would sooner incinerate her enemies before they could even so much as gain a thought before her, but she admits that they are a gross over-exaggeration. Yakitori has expressed that she spends her time "abducting" residents from Rukongai because she offers them a better life than they have been given, giving them jobs within Rakuhen Drift, or as her personal assistants, claiming that she prefers to gather from the furthest Rukongai Districts for how bad they are.

She has expressed that she has no real abhorrent feelings towards Hollows, Quincies, or any other race, simply stating that Soul Society's racism towards those races, being, at one point, at the short end of that herself, is mostly uncalled for and morally unjust. Unlike most Captains within the Gotei 13's history, Yakitori has expressed that she prefers a non-combative approach to her problems, but will not hesitate to use force if necessary.

## History

At one point during her Captaincy, she was offered a position within the Zero Division, but declined, claiming that she was more interested in the Gotei 13 than directly serving the Soul King.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Shapeshift**: Yakitori has shown the capability of shapeshifting her form with relative ease. Through her various forms, she has effectively "erased" her original appearance, thus providing her with the history of only being the owner of Rakuhen Drift under the eyes of most of the populace.
* **Master Healer**: Previously, before her defection, she had the most medical knowledge of anyone within the Gotei 13. Through her extensive knowledge, Yakitori has vast knowledge concerning the anatomy of most races, able to properly discern the afflicted area without having to properly consult the patient. If she were to meet a new race and end up treating them, she seems to gather an understanding of them rather easily. Through her usage of Kidō, Yakitori can effectively remove most ailments without so much as an issue, mastering all taught methods of Kaidō.
* **Kidō Master**: Though not her main form of combat, Yakitori has shown that she has a mastery over the Kidō arts, preferring to use non-volatile spells, and instead focusing on spells like barriers and those that fall under restriction. She is easily able to make new Kidō, along with rapidly casting spells in succession for greater effect. It is through her extensive knowledge of Kidō that Rakuhen Drift was created, and remains to be one of Rakuhen's most popular forms of entertainment.
* **Scientist & Inventor**: Yakitori claims that she primarily studies within the realm of medicine when it comes to scientific prowess and inventions. However, along with her usage of Kidō, her invention prowess has allowed her to make Rakuhen Drift a very prominent form of entertainment of Rakuhen. Through this, it has allowed her to make vehicles within Soul Society that function on a completely different spectrum than vehicles within the Human World.
