About Kyouraku, Shunsui Jirou Sakuranosuke

Captain of the 8th Division Race: Shinigami Zodiac: Cancer Zanpakuto: Katen Kyoukotsu Theme Song: Carlos Gardel's "Por una Cabeza" Kyouraku is best known for his laid-back, flamboyant personality. He's almost always seen in a straw hat and a pink flowered haori thrown over his captain's uniform—cheap pieces overall, though his pinwheel hairpin is surprisingly expensive. When he's not on duty, he's drinking sake, napping, or flirting with women. His lieutenant Nanao Ise gets the brunt of his attention; he calls her "my Nanao-chan" and once ordered Rangiku Matsumoto to buy her a sexy bathing suit while in the human world (Nanao predictably refused to wear it). He's genuinely close with 13th Division Captain Jushiro Ukitake, having graduated from the shinigami academy together and working alongside him regularly. Unlike most captains, Kyouraku uses a casual, familiar speech style with other shinigami and captains alike, calling them by first name plus honorific. He's even the only one who drops formality entirely with General Yamamoto, calling him "old Yama" without hesitation—something even Ukitake doesn't do. Despite his easygoing nature, Kyouraku is fundamentally a peacemaker who prefers talking his way out of conflict. That said, he refuses to disrespect opponents by refusing to fight them. While his captain rank proves he's powerful, the series has rarely shown his true strength. Yamamoto himself has stated that both Kyouraku and Ukitake possess abilities greater than any younger generation of captains—possibly exceeding all others except Yamamoto himself. He also has a flair for drama. During the Soul Society arc, he had Nanao scatter rose petals for a theatrical entrance when confronting Chad. The plan backfired when Nanao kept dropping them and eventually dumped the whole basket on him, burying him in petals and utterly ruining the moment.
