Name: Ukitake Jūshirō
Gender: Male
Age: ???
Appearance: Younger:

Older:

Ukitake is a tall man with a somewhat emaciated appearance, caused by
an illness which occasionally causes him to cough up blood. Because of
his illness, he often spends his time recuperating at Ugendō, his
family's estate. During one of his attacks when he was much younger, his
hair turned white over a three-day period. This is why his eyebrows are
black, the color his hair used to be.

110 years ago he wore his hair in a long ponytail. Currently his
hair is worn long, almost reaching his waist. He wears it parted on the
left side with one long piece that tends to fall over his right eye. He
has green eyes.
Ukitake wears the common Shinigami uniform with a long sleeved
captain's haori, and a crimson lining. He wears a narrow white obi, in
which he secures his Zanpakutō

Personality:
Ukitake's favorite food is Ohagi. In his free time he feeds the carp in the lake of Ugendō's garden and also trims the bonsai there, despite lacking the artistic sense necessary for the latter. He also writes a novel series in the Seireitei Communication titled "Rejection of the Twin Fishes!" (Sōgyō no Okotowari!),
in which the lead character, Sōgyo, fights evil and saves innocent
villagers. Sōgyo's catchphrase is "I refuse that!" (そいつはお断りだ！, Soitsu ha Okotowari da!) and is hugely popular among the children in Seireitei. The serial is frequently on hiatus but when it is in the magazine, it ranks in the top three features.
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. As a result, he can be easily approached by
other members of Soul Society
who seek favors or advice from the captain. Due to his high moral code,
Ukitake will never let any harm come to either his underlings or those
who attempt to protect them. He refuses to give up when he believes something is wrong and will break a rule to do what is right. He is also quite perceptive, as seen when he analyzes the various disturbances caused in Soul Society, and has the ability to correctly judge people's character, as noted by
Yamamoto, and knows when they are lonely. He observes that, before
meeting Ichigo Kurosaki
and his friends, Rukia often had trouble opening up about certain
things and was very lonely, but sees a difference in her when she spends
time training with Orihime.
In various Bleach omake chapters, Ukitake is fond of giving
people strange or unwanted gifts for no apparent reason, particularly Tōshirō Hitsugaya because of their similar sounding names and hair color.
Due to his long-standing position with the Gotei 13, Ukitake is
one of the most proficient combatants in Soul Society and always
maintains a level of honor and integrity when engaging in battle, much
like his best friend Shunsui. He refuses to fight in the presence of a
child or even with a child, even if that child is a Arrancar.
He always maintains a semblance of respect for his opponent and is
polite in combat situations. He also has a high measure of mercy, never
taking the chance to kill Lilynette, but rather actually try to teach
her how to be a better fighter, even though she was an enemy.

History/Background: Jūshirō is the eldest son from the low-class aristocratic Ukitake
family. He has five brothers and two sisters, whom he essentially
supports by himself. He, along with Shunsui Kyōraku, was one of the first graduates of Captain Yamamoto's Shinō Academy and they were the first graduates to become captains. Furthermore, he was personally trained by Yamamoto. He and Kyōraku are the oldest captains amongst the Gotei 13, with the exception of Retsu Unohana
and Yamamoto himself. It is stated that the four of them have been
Captains of the Gotei 13 for at least 100 years as of 110 years ago
before the current time.

Approximately 110 years ago, Ukitake was first seen arriving at the 1st Division Headquarters with Captain Shunsui Kyōraku and Lieutenant Lisa Yadōmaru of the 8th Division. He first asked about the whereabouts of the 12th Division captain. As Shunsui and Captains Love Aikawa and Shinji Hirako
started a conversation about the status of the Gotei 13, he reminded
Shunsui not to forget Captain Unohana as one of the captains from 100
years ago.
He was again seen waiting for the promotion ceremony to begin at the 1st Division Headquarters along with the rest of the assembled captains. He witnessed the arrival of the newly-appointed captain of the 12th Division, Kisuke Urahara.

The following day, he tried to persuade a then-reluctant Kaien Shiba into becoming his lieutenant. The two conversed about the current happenings in Soul Society, including a young Gin Ichimaru,
who happened to be a child prodigy surpassing the previous record set
by Kaien himself. Kaien shrugged off any attempt Jūshirō makes at him
being any type of prodigy. While visiting the Shiba residence, Jūshirō
was shown to be quite popular with the servants, with Kaien noting that
Jūshirō was still very charming and that he had a smile that made his
servants blush. Jūshirō dismisses the compliment as he tries to remain
humble about his notable quality.
9 years later, Ukitake was present at a emergency meeting called
by Captain-Commander Yamamoto, where he decided to create a
investigation team to locate the missing 9th Division squad members. When he gave out orders, Yamamoto ordered him to guard the Seireitei.
Jūshirō was seemingly stunned by Kyōraku sending Lisa to investigate
the disappearance of the 9th Division captain and lieutenant.
Jūshirō, due to his illness, was rarely able to fulfill his role as
captain on a regular basis, instead having Kaien fill the role under his
guidance.

Sometime later, when a then-unknown Hollow killed a squad being lead by Kaien's wife, Miyako Shiba, Kaien became enraged and wanted revenge. Despite this, Jūshirō tried to reason with him that nothing was known of this new Hollow.
Kaien did not relent, so Jūshirō gave him the only information they did
have, the lair of the creature. The following night, Jūshirō, Kaien,
and Rukia Kuchiki
traveled to the Hollow's lair, and when they arrived, Kaien asked for
permission to fight the creature alone, which Jūshirō allowed. Kaien
fought the creature evenly until it used its unique technique and
destroyed his Zanpakutō.
However Kaien continued to fight the creature with his bare hands.
Eventually, the battle started to turn against Kaien, causing Rukia to
try and assist him. Jūshirō stopped Rukia from assisting, explaining
that Kaien was fighting for his honor. The Hollow's abilities allowed it
to possess Kaien and Jūshirō began to fight it, but his illness got in
the way and allowed the Hollow to attack Rukia. But at that moment, to
both Jūshirō and Rukia's horror, Kaien took control and impaled himself
upon Rukia's sword, thanking the captain for understanding the value of
his honor and that of his wife's.
The 13th Division has never been the same following Kaien's
death, being without its well-loved lieutenant and Jūshirō having to
rely on Kiyone Kotetsu and Sentarō Kotsubaki, which usually ends in a
comical disaster.

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Sōgyo no Kotowari

Appearance:

The spirit of Sōgyo no Kotowari takes the form of two young, identical
twin boys with large, light green-colored eyes, and short silver hair
that is pulled back into ponytails. They wear identical light blue robes
over kimonos, triangular-shaped hats, light beige hakama and blue shoes; their clothing resembles that of traditional Japanese Shinto priests.

Inner World: An open field with dark skies and an open sea at the end of the field.

Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance : Ukitake's Zanpakutō resembles an average katana with a rectangular bronze cross guard and dark red handle.

Release: "All Waves, Rise now and Become my Shield, Lightning, Strike now and Become my Blade" (波悉く我が盾となれ雷悉く我が刃となれ, nami kotogotoku waga tate to nare, ikazuchi kotogotoku waga yaiba to nare; Viz "Waves, Become my Shield, Lightning, Become my Blade")

Shikai Description: Once he completes the incantation, he grasps the single blade with two
hands. The blade then transforms slowly and begins to form two blades,
as the blades peel apart, a large red rope-like chain at the base of the
hilt lengthens and silver metal square charms attached to the chain
begin to fall until all five present themselves. The blade is now
somewhat thinner than the normal Zanpakutō and the cross guard now
extends up the blade for about 15 cm. Up 25 cm from where the cross
guard is, there is a 45 degree cut on the inside of the blade where a
second blade is jutting back down and parallel to the main blade. With
the edge of the blade facing inward instead of outward, the blade looks
very artistic and rather difficult to handle, only further proving just
how skilled a swordsman Ukitake must be to have mastered such a uniquely
designed weapon.

Shikai Abilities: Sōgyo no Kotowari 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 strengthens and accelerates 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 Kotowari.

Ukitake is meditating on top one of the buildings of the town. Later , a young looking Arrancar came and questioned him. Why are you not fighting? asked the young looking Arrancar. "Who are you?" asked Ukitake. The young looking Arrancar answered , "Who me? I'm Lilynette Gingerbuck. Now answer me!" "Well , two on one would not be fair ," said Ukitake. " It does not matter! Starrk is too strong and your friend there is as good as dead!" said Lilynette with a loud voice. "My friend there is strong too. I'll assure you that he will win and I'll pray that he wins," said Ukitake with a smile on his face. Lilynette ask him , "Do not regret if he is dead! Do you want to fight me?!" " I cannot!" he said. Lilynette asked Ukitake why he cannot fight her. Ukitake replied , "You are still a child.Other than that , you do not belong here." She felt angry because he called her a child. Since she joined the Espada , people always describe her as a child. "Who you're calling a child?! Do you know that Arrancar don't age?! she replied with a high tone. He told her that she should go home and play with a ball. He also said that if she tried to fight him , he will force her to leave. This made her mad so she pulled her Zanpaktou.He is somewhat annoyed with this. She started attacking him and Ukitake kept blocking her attacks. He told Lilynette that he was unamused at her futile attempts. She later get irritated and fires her Cero. He blocked her cero with his bare hands.He told her that among the cero he saw , her's was immature at best. He forced her to go back but she would not listen so they continued fighting until someone dies.
