The Thirteenth Division

The 13th Division is known to be a protecter and unit of Rukongai. They patrol each district within Rukongai and handle any fights there when needed. They also seem to be in control of the trade sections of each district, along with the law within it. Only the Captain and the Lieutenant are allowed to take a patrol unit to a district higher than the 70th. The 13th Division are also the ones that actually send out patrols on a daily, frequent basis to survey Seireitei and Rukongai.

Current Members

Jushirou Ukitake

Rank: Captain

Summary: The current leader of the Squad. Ukitake is a tall man who suffers from tuberculosis. This causes him to frequently have a sickly appearance and is what causes his pale complexion and white hair. Ukitake is well-respected and highly honorable, and always treats those around him with respect, even those who are weaker or not as highly ranked as he is. He seems to be much like Captain Inuzuri in personality and can be normally seen feeding the carps in the lake of Ugendō's garden with said fellow Captain.

Zanpakuto: Sōgyo no Kotowari, It is able to absorb an opponent's energy attacks through the left sword and directs the attack through the connecting rope where the five charms on the rope accelerate the attack faster than it was originally fired and reverses its original course firing the same attack from the right sword, making it much more difficult for the opponent to dodge. The entire process happens so fast that the attack looks as if it originally came from Sōgyo no Kotowa


Hikari Oyamada

Rank: Lieutenant

Summary: Hikari is the new Lieutenant of this Squad and seems to be quite nervous with having the position. She is one of the few Shinigami in this rank with Bankai and seems to have a sort of unity with her Zanpakuto. Hikari seems to have a rather large crush on her Captain, but it is doubtful that it is returned. She is currently one of the few Shinigami to have impressed Inuzuri Kenshin in combat.

Zanpakuto: Raikou no Kumori. A Zanpakuto that has power over lightning and thunder within a certain range. It is one of the very rare elemental lightning based Zanpakuto, and thus shows the strength of the wielder. It allows Hikari to attack with lightning, summon a shield, and even become a walking being of pure lightning.
