Personality:

Izuru is a gloomy and introspective person, not easily given to
socializing with others. He generally appears weak and indifferent,
leading many to believe he lacks ability as a leader. As an officer, he
does not tend to inspire confidence or boost morale the way other
lieutenants do. It should be noted that Izuru's current personality
greatly differs from his days in the academy where he was shown to be
much happier and slightly mischievous after noting that Shūhei Hisagi
had failed his entrance exam twice, whereas Izuru passed at the top of
his class, giving him the idea that, in a sense, his talent was greater.
His personality flaws are also assets: his introspection coupled
with his tendency to worry makes him indecisive, but it also makes him
sensitive to unusual behavior. His loyalty to his comrades inspires him
to great efforts in their defense, as seen when Momo attacks Captain Gin Ichimaru and again in the anime when Makato's attacks endanger other members of the 3rd Division.

Izuru is loyal to both his friends and his duties, perhaps to a
fault. Despite the close friendship he shares with Momo Hinamori, Izuru
shows that his loyalty knows no boundaries when he defends his captain
while she is in a grief-induced rage from her own captain's apparent
death. Despite this, he calls himself a "monster" afterwards for raising his sword against her.
During his fight with Avirama Redder, it is revealed that Izuru
considers the essence of war to be despair, as exemplified by the symbol
of his division, the marigold. He also hates to fight unless prompted
or given orders. However, in combat he shows ruthless determination.
Izuru has shown himself remorseless with this, beheading an oppenet that was pleading for mercy.
It is known that he likes to write haiku, and he was also awarded for one of his pieces by Seireitei Communication, which is as follows: "The persimmon tree bears fruit. Aaah, the persimmon tree bears fruit again this year."
His dislike for dried persimmon (a huge difference between him and his
former captain) sheds some light on the background of the poem. He likes
agar-agar instead. He also writes a serial novel titled "I Want to
Apologize to You." It runs in Seireitei Communication and every new chapter begins with a haiku piece. He is also the author of Kira Izuru's Haiku Time. He is on good terms with fellow author Shūhei Hisagi, and in their free time, they participate on gatherings of haiku lovers. Izuru also gives a special lecture of poetry on the Shinjimai. It is also known that he is skilled in playing cat's cradle.

History/Background:
Izuru is initially seen amidst a group of Shinigami (including fellow lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi) witnessing the arrival of Ichigo and the other Ryoka in Rukongai. He is later seen at a lieutenants meeting being briefed on the injuries of the Gotei 13 by Yashchokia
Upon Renji's defeat by Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji is brought to a secure location and is watched over by his friends Izuru and Momo, lieutenant of the 5th Division. Distraught, Momo asks Izuru to call for the 4th Division medics. Captian Byakuya
then appears behind Momo and tells them that there is no need, as Renji
is to be thrown in jail. When Momo tries to plead with him, Byakuya
plainly tells her that he doesn't want excuses, since Renji was alone
when he fought and he has no reason to have lost. Momo asks him how can
he say that, but she is stopped by Izuru, who apologizes to Byakuya
before a reluctant Momo does the same.

Later when Momo distraught over the apparent murder of Aizen goes to attack 3rd Divison captain Gin
who she believes to be behind it, she is countered by Izuru. Momo asks
him why and he plainly tells her he is the lieutenant of the 3rd
Division, he doesn't care what her reason is, he can not allow her to
point her sword at his captain. Momo continues to yell at Izuru to move
and he continually refuses prompting her to release her Shikai and use
its ability against him. Izuru scolds her for using her Shikai and then
tries to reason with her, but she just uses another blast on him which
causes him to release his own Shikai and move to attack her, they both
are countered by the arrival of 10th Division captain Toshiro. He orders them to be restrained and to be imprisoned.
While in jail Izuru is distraught and despises himself for
raising his sword at Momo who is one of his close friends. He is
interrupted by Gin who offers to free him. As Gin and Izuru make there way through Seiritei
they are confronted by Hitsugaya, who had determined that Gin was the
one behind Izuru's break out and attempts to kill him before Momo has
the chance to, but Momo soon shows up and confronts Hitsugaya.
When Hitsugaya and Gin square off against each other Izuru is told by
Gin to back up unless he wants to die. Hitsugaya tells him that backing
up is not enough and that he should leave the area, telling Izuru to not
stop running even after they leave his sight. He further warns if Izuru
stays anywhere within 7 square miles of the place they are at, he can't
guarantee Izuru wont be dragged into the fight. Izuru then witnesses
Hitsugaya's release of his Shikai for the first time and is amazed at
its power.
During Sosuke Aizen's plot against Soul Soceity,
Izuru plays a role as a significant, yet clueless, puppet. His loyalty
and dedication to following orders are used against him by Gin. In this
capacity Izuru is sent to the Central 46 Compound where 10th Divison captain Hitsugaya and his lieutenant Rangiku are trying to figure out whose behind the deaths of the members of the 46 Compound.
Hitsugaya and Rangiku chase after him with Hitsugaya questioning him if
he had massacred the Central 46, but Izuru tells him it wasn't him as
he only recently arrived himself. He then asks Hitsugaya if he is doing
the smart thing by chasing him instead of protecting Momo. Hitsugaya is
confused and asks him what he means by that and Izuru tells him that
Momo has left the 10th Division barracks, he further explains how she
accomplished the escape. He then tells Hitsugaya that Momo has been
following him and Rangiku the entire time. Hitsugaya then has Rangiku
face off against Izuru while he goes to find Momo. When Izuru realizes
that Rangiku is now after him and Hitsugaya has gone he stops running.
When Rangiku asks him if he was done running it explains that he has a
mission to keep her there, when she asks who gave him that mission he
tells her that Gin did. Rangiku tries to reason with him but Izuru
refuses to answer her further, he then tells her that the reason he
refuses to answer her is because she is about to die. He then releases
his Shikai.
He asks Rangiku if she knows about his Zanpakutō's special ability.
Rangiku plainly tells him that she doesn't and she assumes no one does
as he has never spoken about it. Izuru explains that in fact his former
classmates Renji and Momo
know of it but he assures her she will now know it as well. The two
face off and Rangiku realizes that her Zanpakutō has become too heavy
for her to hold up. Izuru explains the power of his Zanpakutō and tells
her how it has affected hers. He notes that she can't carry around that
weight. Rangiku explains that if her Zanpakutō is too heavy she just
won't carry it. Rangiku then reveals that his weight-affecting Zanpakuto is rendered useless by her Zanpakutō's ability to dissolve into ash. After their fight, Izuru hears from Isane via Bakudō #77 "Tenteikura"
that his captain was a traitor. As Rangiku runs off to find Hitsugaya, a
defeated Izuru remarks that they promised that they wouldn't hurt Momo.
One week later, Izuru visits Rangiku in the 10th division barracks to
apologize. The two get drunk and comment on how they don't need Gin in
an effort to remove the feeling of betrayal that they both felt, the
events of the week before, most likely forgiven.

When Aizen along with his three top Espada attack fake Karakura town, he along with Yumichka, Lt.Shuhei Hisagi, and Ikkaku are left to protect the four pillars that keep the real Karakura Town in Soul Society. He begins a battle with one of Barragan's Fraccion', Avirama Aryon.

Avirama shows his personality and his form of combat preparation much
to the annoyance of Izuru, when he finds out which division Izuru is
from he goads him about not seeing through Ichimaru's deceptions calling Izuru weak forcing him to attack the Arrancar. Avirama is happy to see Izuru is now ready for battle and he takes out his Zanpakutō and releases.
Avirama becomes a humanoid bird-like creature and comments that though
he can fly, his feathers are not ordinary feathers. He explains that
they are steel feathers and that they are heavier than rocks. Izuru figures that since they are feathers, none the less they are affected by wind, Izuru then uses Hadō #58 "Tenran"
against Avirama only to find his efforts fruitless as the Arrancar
counters the spell with ease. Realizing that Izuru has disappeared from
view into the building below, Avirama decides to attack the building
itself attempting to bring Izuru out by force. When Izuru realizes the
attacks will bring the building down with him in it, he leaves and
decides to try to evade the Arrancar out in the open. Avirama decides to
end the battle and invigorates himself thus increasing his power, he
then proceeds to attack Izuru and tears apart a corner of the building
in doing so. Izuru plays possum so that he can get in close enough to
use his Zanpakutō on the Arrancar's wings causing him to crash through
the building due to his tremendous weight. Izuru then explains to him
the special ability of his Zanpakutō. When Avirama calls his ability
underhanded, Izuru explains to him that war is 'depressing' and that
there's 'nothing exciting about it', where as Avirama believed war to be
'fun and honorable'. He explains how his Zanpakutō represents the
philosophy of his division the most, out of all Zanpakutō. Izuru then
explains why his Zanpakutō is shaped the way it is, and uses it to
behead Avirama.

As he walks away from Avirama's corpse, he prays that the Arrcanar doesn't forgive him. He then uses Shinten to knock out a crazed Yumichika Ayasegawa when Ikkaku Madarame loses his battle.

He is seen alongside Shuhei Hisagi, who saves Momo from the "pet" of Tia Harrbell's Fracción, Ayon.
Shūhei orders Izuru to go heal Momo and Rangiku, saying as he is a
former 4th Division member, he is the most experienced. Izuru is
reluctant, as it was a long time ago, but he takes Momo and Rangiku to a
nearby pillar. First, he uses Bakudō #73, "Tozansho". Then he
proceeds to heal Rangiku, who is more seriously injured. He asks
Hinamori to hang on, but after Ayon dispatches Hisagi and Iba, it moves
so as to attack Izuru. Luckily, General Yamato intervenes, dispatching the Hollow that caused so much trouble for the lieutenants. He then asks for forgiveness, but is told to keep his barrier firm, for the battle was not over yet.
He is then seen watching the battles against the Espada while he heals
the injured lieutenants in a protective barrier that is being guarded by
the 7th Divison Captain Sajin Kommura. He later begs Komamura to assist the other captains after Wonderweiss
Margela and his companion free Aizen, Tōsen and Ichimaru. He is also
seen feeling the battle is lost, just as the Visored arrive.
Later when the captains are able to outsmart Aizen and Hitsugaya
stabs him from behind, Izuru yells that the captains have finally won.
Iba tells him he should look happier at this fact. All of a sudden Momo
gets up and starts to walk away and Izuru and Iba ask her where she's
going but she doesn't answer. Momo then swings her Zanpakutō at them. The two of them are cut down as Momo reveals herself as Aizen and that they were under his complete hypnosis the entire time.
Kira is later seen on the ground. He calls out to his former captain while watching the fight between Ichigo and Gin and then spots Rangiku running towards the fight.
Kira screams after her and tries to move forward, but in the process
sustains more injures. He keeps screaming after her as Rangiku was only
healed to the point that her life could be sustained and nothing more.__________________________________________________________________________

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Wabisuke
Appearance:
Izuru Kira Wabisuke-1

Inner World: N/A
Sealed Zanpakutô : Wabisuke is very simple and plain in design. Its normal form is
indistinguishable from a plain katana. The cross guard is a normal
rectangular one, with only an omega design on the top and bottom half.

Release: "Raise your head Wabisuke!!"

Shikai Description:
Izuru Kira Wabisuke

When activated, the blade loses its curve and straightens, and where a
normal katana would end, Wabisuke's blade makes two 90 degree angles,
forming three sides of a square reminiscent of a hook. Even more
interestingly, the cutting edge of the blade is on the inside of the
angles, not the outside.

Shikai Abilities:
In this form, Wabisuke doubles the weight of any object it strikes. The
ability can affect both inanimate objects and living beings, and is
cumulative. For example, the first strike on an opponent wielding a 10
lb sword doubles the opposing sword's weight to 20 lbs. If Izuru strikes
the sword a second time, the weight of the sword doubles to 40 lbs.
Izuru can continue doubling the weight of his opponent's sword
indefinitely. After about eight or nine strikes, most opponents would be
unable to lift their swords and are brought down to their knees by the
weight of their own weapon. Though the potential of this ability is
limitless, a small number of strikes to an opponent's blade is usually
all that is needed to render them immobile. Its ability makes it look
like he is forcing his opponents to bow their heads in apology for a
past decision since it brings his opponents to their knees before him.
With them immobile, the hook end of his blade can now show its gruesome
function: Izuru can decapitate a fallen opponent by holding the square
hook beneath his opponent's neck and lifting, like a reverse guillotine.

Roleplay
Sample:
The day in Karakura town was gloomy,and foggy. The ground was wet along with the air being moist. No one was outside or playing. Kira in his gigai would be the only one outside. Kira huffed and sighed saying "Why did Shuhei get the nice day.." "I get the bad days of course". Kira would keep walking around the town looking anything bad which was hollow related or souls. But, Izuru then felt something awkward it made his gut hurt in pain. "AW!" Kira would hold his gut in pain. "What the hell...." Izuru would say on his knees looking up "That..Spiritual pressure its nothing i seen before..." "None of the Vizards,or Shinjimais I know have that power." Kira would still be looking around. "Only people I know with that high spiritual pressure is Captains and none of them are here." But Kira looked up and saw someone floating in the sky. "Get up weakling" That person said.

Kira would get up to his feet "Who are you...." Kira would say exmaining the person but then he saw a Zanpukato and then a hole in lower part of his chest "You're a Arrancar!" Izuru would shout out at the Arrancar in the sky. But, once Izuru said this he got out of his gigai. Kira got in his battling stance ready to fight Arrancar. "Oh.... how long did that take you to find out... And I know you are Izuru Kira!" But the Arrancar would shunpo down. Izuru had thought quick drawing his zanpukato out and pointing to the Arrancar. "Well, I will not need your name as I will only slay you... and your name would take up my memory." Izuru said still in his battle stance pointing his zanpukato at the Arrancar. The Arrancar titled his head and sighed "Well if that must how you be then so be it" Arrancar drew his zanpukato out and shunpo to Kira slashing it in a downwards position. But Izuru snapped and block'd it with his sword before the Arrancar's sword could hit him. Kira would push the Arrancar back then both of them shunpoing backwards.

Kira looked to the Arrancar "Is that all you got.... weakling." Kira would say mocking him slightly. Kira would do the samething again just like the Arrancar shunpoing and the slashing in downwards movement. But,this time the arrancar jumped backwards only leaving a scar on his chest. "Ah.." The Arrancar would say looking to his chest. "Well, you got the first strike but... its a scar you only hit me slightly." Looking back up raising his blade again to Kira. "Now fight me like a Lt. you are!" The Arrancar said but right after Izuru raised his sword just like the last time. Izuru let go of his zanpukato but it did not fall it floated and then started spinning. The sword spinned till you could only see grey. Kira grabbed it then aswell turning it upside down with the hilt/handle pointing upwards and the blade downwards. Kira put his hand on the back side of the hilt showing his hand straight up with his palm showing. Once, this was done Kira chanted "Hado #58 Tenran!" A blast of wind in a tornado shape came spiraling at the Arrancar. The Arrancar brought his arms in a ''X'' shape still having his zankaputo in his hands. The would help the Arrancar from blocking it. "You think a little Tornado can stop me!!!!!!" before Kira could see it coming the Arrancar shot a Cero Ball at Kira's feet send Izuru flying into the air.

Kira would land about few yards away from his past spot. His Zanpukato would fly too land besides Izuru stuck in to the ground. Izuru would get up,pulling his Zanpakuto out of the ground and aiming it at the Arrancar. "Nice move,pal" Kira would smile looking the Arrancar right in his eyes. "Shut up.... I'm not your pal...! I'm your worst enemy!!!" The Arrancar would raise his Zankaputo in the air "Shield me,Morte!" All of a sudden the blade glowed covering the Arrancar's body. It compacted onto the Arrancar tightly making armor on him. "Come on..... Fight me!" The Arrancar's face would then get covered by a mask. "Hmmmm... Time for mine..." Kira said raising his zanpukato in the air twisting it making a cling sound "Raise Your Head,Wabisuke!" The blade would then get curved making a "N" shape. "What are you going to cut with the that" Arrancar said laughing. The Arrancar extended his arm opening his hands. A slight orb would apper then forming into a bone spear. "Lets do this!!!!!" The Arrancar would lunge at Kira. Kira Snapped Quickly sending Wabisuke at the spear knocking it to the side.

The Arrancar would then be push'd to the ground raising the spear back up. But then Izuru slashed at the spear 2 times. "What....wh...ats Whats Happending!!" The Arrancar could feel the spear getting heavy,then soon enough the spear hit the ground impacting it hard. "Hmmmm.." Kira said slashing at the mask of the Arrancar knocking it off. "My Zanpukato is Wabisuke... Meaning The Apologizing one..." Kira then slashed all over the Arrancars Armor 4 times everywhere. The Arrancar would get to his knees. "What the hell!!!!!!" "You little punk!" The Arrancar would try to raise his arm up using the most of his energy. But before the Arrancar did Kira pointed the index finger and middle finger together aiming it at the Arrancar. Kira would then shout out "Bakudo 63" Glowing yellow chains would apper and wrap the Arrancar hopelessly. Kira would put the head of the Arrancar "Wabisuke Doubles the weight of everything it touches,and now what do you say this blade can not cut through?" Kira said looking to the Arrancar with the Arrancar looking at kira with the corner of his eyes.

The Arrancar would scared and afraid of the the moment "Please,N....." But before he could say the last word Kira finished him off with final blow. Izuru started to pull slow but hard till he felt the throat and then he pulled hard and fast taking off his the Arrancar's head. The head would fall off rolling to the side. The Bakudo would wear off. Kira would sling wabisuke at his side cleaning it off from the blood of the Arrancar. Izuru would then do it again making Wabisuke go back in his sealed form. Kira would look at the dead of the Arrancar,as well lining the blade of his zankpukato with the sheath. He then pushed it in making a "cling!" sound. After this Kira would release the grip off the handle/hilt,but his right hand would be on the sheath at the top right below the Tsuba/hand guard. "Farewell...weakling." Kira would shunpo away from the body which would soon dissolve. He would arrive back at his gigai getting back into it and caring on the day. 'What a day' Kira thought to himself.
