Hanatarou Yamada

About Yamada, Hanatarou

Occupation: Shinigami 7th Seat of the 4th Division, 14th Advanced Relief Team Leader; temporary convenience store clerk (anime) Birthday: April 1 Height: 153 cm (5' 0¼") Weight: 45 kg (99 lb) Zanpakutou: Hisagomaru

Hanatarou comes across as nervous and timid, and honestly, he kind of is—he's got that perpetually anxious energy that makes him an easy target for bullies and pranks. His black hair falls a bit past shoulder length with bangs framing his face, which doesn't exactly help him look intimidating. He's clumsy too, the type to stumble into situations he didn't mean to and get duped by just about anyone. That said, fans often note that despite his wimpy exterior, he's shown genuine courage and commitment when it actually matters. He's got a good heart under all that nervousness. His zanpakuto, Hisagomaru, is genuinely unusual—instead of cutting things to pieces like a normal sword, it heals whatever it wounds. The damage it absorbs builds up visibly as a red meter running along the blade's length. Once that meter fills completely, Hisagomaru releases all that accumulated damage in one destructive beam powerful enough to take down a menos grande. After it fires, the sword shrinks down to the size of a scalpel.
