Kenpachi Zaraki

About Zaraki, Kenpachi

11th Division Captain Born: 19th November (Area 80 North) Hates: Natto Hobbies: Fighting strong opponents Theme Song: "Superpredators" by Massive Attack Note: The only Captain who never took the Shinigami exam. Kenpachi grew up in District #80 of the North Alley, the worst part of Rukongai—basically a lawless hellhole full of thieves and murderers (compare that to District #1, which is basically the opposite). He actually didn't have a name back then. He spent his time there getting seriously good at swordplay and racking up an absurd kill count. When he eventually left the district, he ran into a kid named Yachiru, a girl from nearby District #79 whose parents had been killed. He named her after the only person he'd ever really admired, impressed by how unfazed she was by his sword. Around the same time, he took on the name Kenpachi itself—basically a title meaning "the strongest swordsman, the one who's killed the most." The two ended up with something like a father-daughter bond. Before making Captain, Kenpachi also crossed swords with Ikkaku Madarame and won decisively. That loss cemented Ikkaku's loyalty—he was ready to serve under Kenpachi from that point forward, even though he's always itching for a rematch. Eventually Kenpachi showed up in the Seireitei and challenged the 11th Division's sitting Captain. He won, killed the guy (whose name's apparently lost to history), and claimed the position. The anime suggests this whole thing prompted both Ikkaku and Yumichika to join the Shinigami ranks, and it also drove the previous vice-captain, Maki Ichinose, to leave Soul Society entirely.
