■ Sanity : ██████████
■ Friendliness : ██████████
■ Aggression : ██████████
■ Intelligence : ██████████
■ Virtues : Temperance, Charity, Patience, Kindness, Humility, Justice
■ Sins : Sloth
■ Likes : Sleeping, drinking sake, relaxing, flirting/chasing after women/Nanao, peace, writing books, making impressions on opponents
■ Dislikes : Fighting, when others are wrongfully accused, killing others when they are innocent, powdered green tea
■ Overall : Kyoraku is a laid back and flamboyant man, evident in his style of dress and general attitude and he is rarely seen without a smile on his lips. In his off time, he can be seen drinking sake in bars and napping. He likes steamed buns that go with sake, but dislikes powdered green tea. Other times, he likes to chase after women, particularly his lieutenant, Nanao Ise, whom he calls "my Nanao-chan" (Lil' Nanao in the English Dub). Nanao will often respond by hitting him with whatever she has on hand. He would have done this also when Lisa Yadmaru was his lieutenant, so it shows that teasing is a part of his personality. Kyoraku tends to use a more familiar speech style than most other characters. He generally refers to his fellow captains and Shinigami by their first name followed by an honorific. Kyoraku is a peace-loving man who will always try to talk his way out of a fight, though he doesn't wish to insult opponents by refusing to fight. The slightly eccentric Kyoraku also seems to like making an impression on opponents. He also dislikes taking the life of an innocent.
Captain Kyoraku also wrote a romance novel titled "Rose-colored Path", which ran in Seireitei Communication, but was very unpopular. His photo collection, on the other hand, titled "Using Arms as My Pillow", became widely popular, and was quickly sold out, partially because it came out in lesser number of copies than similar collections by the other captains. Kyoraku also doesn't seem to care that his autobiography, "My Kittens Are So Shy," is the absolute worst-selling book.
Though Kyoraku tries to talk his way out of a fight, he does insist on fighting when the situation is grave.He is also one of the most proficient combatants in Soul Society, and maintains a level of honor and integrity when engaging in battle, much like his best friend Jyushirou. He refuses to fight in the presence of a child or even with a child. He always maintains a semblance of respect for his opponent and is polite in combat situations and prefers to fight one on one. Despite being one of the the strongest and oldest captains, Kyoraku retains a level of humbleness and isn't overly arrogant about his strength.

░A B I L I T I E S░
"Only underlings get caught up in matters of style and lose the battle. A captain can't afford such indulgences. Don't try to be a good kid. Whether you owe someone or they owe you, the moment you start a fight, you're in the wrong either way."
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: While in battle when he is in unison with Ukitake, their abilities compliment each other as they work phenomenally well together. Their power is unrivaled by anyone who came before them or anyone since. While hating the concept of having to engage in a fight, Kyoraku is presumably one of the most proficient swordsmen in all of Soul Society. He is a highly adaptable combatant as his two swords have allowed him to become ambidextrous, meaning that he is able to switch hands between the two swords. Kyoraku also swings with more strength in his left hand then his right. However, he can easily switch or balance the strength between his two hands, much to the surprise of his opponent. Kyoraku maintains that he only uses his short sword in situations where his katana is too difficult to use. He claims that he does not use them together on a regular basis.Shunsui's fighting style involves evasion and attacking an opponent either in the front or back using the element of surprise to overwhelm them.
Kid Master: While not his preferred style of combat, Shunsui has high prowess in Kido combat.
Flash Steps Master: He is masterful in the art of Flash Steps as a captain.
Master Strategist & Tactician: Despite his laid back attitude, Shunsui has repeatedly shown himself to be a perceptive and insightful man. According to Yamamoto, even when he was younger Shunsui has always had an eye for seeing the truth character of anyone he meets. In battle, Shunsui has proven to be very adept at noticing and understanding details in an opponent's skills or attack patterns.
Immense Spiritual Power: As a Captain and one of the strongest and oldest Captains in the Gotei 13 as such Kyoraku has tremendous spiritual power.
Enhanced Durability: Shunsui has the ability to survive seemingly unscathed from devastating attacks.

"Katen Kyokotsu's power is to make children's games real. It makes the rules and anyone who steps within the boundaries of its spiritual energy is forced to play by those rules. Including me. With Takaoni, whoever is higher up wins. With Kageoni, whoever steps on a shadow loses. If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. It's very selfish. I love my sword, but it's a bitch getting jerked around like this... Right?"
Katen Kyokotsu (Flower Heaven, Crazy Bone): His Zanpakuto is unique in that it exists as two completely separate swords, existing as a daisho sword pair, consisting of a katana and a wakizashi. Their cross guards are rectangles, with the corners cut off, decorated by a pattern of cherry petals and lines, and each sports a dark-blue handle. He keeps them sheathed through his waist tie at his left side; although, during battle, the swords have been shown to be placed on both sides of his sash. Like other Zanpakutos, Katen Kyokotsu has a personality of its own. However, unlike other Zanpakuto, this personality shines through in battle and prevents Shunsui from fighting with his full powers until Katen Kyokotsu is in the mood for it. Because of this Shunsui does not like to "play" with it.
■ Zanpakuto Name : Katen Kyokotsu
■ Sword Type : Katana and a wakizashi
■ Zanpakuto Description : see above.
■ Shikai Command : "Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer"
■ Shikai : a pair of huge, heavily-curved, black Chinese scimitars with silver edges. The hilt and cross guards of each are still the same as they were in Katen Kyokotsu's sealed-form, but they now sport long red tassels dangling from the end.
■ Shikai Special Ability: The power of Katen Kyôkotsu is to "make children's games real". The Zanpakutô makes the rules and anyone who steps within the boundaries of its spiritual pressure is forced to play by those rules, including Shunsui himself. According to Shunsui, "if you win you live, if you lose you die"
- Bushôgoma (Lazy Spinning Top) This technique causes tornado winds to flow from Katen Kyôkotsu to envelope the target. Dispite the appearance it is a wind-based attack, it is still a game (a spinning top).
- Takaoni (Mountain Demon) Essentially, whoever is higher up "wins".
- Irooni (Colorful Demon) This is a color-based game where you say the name of the color you want to cut with your sword and you cannot cut anything else. If the color that you call does not exist on your body, the damage is minimal, even if the attack would normally inflict a much more severe wound. The opposite is true; by calling out a color you're wearing and attacking, the damage given is proportional to the amount of that color on you. To maximize damage, you have to use a color that maximizes the risks to your person as well as your enemy. For example, by wearing black robes and calling "black," one would inflict massive damage on a enemy if struck even if the actual blow itself was minimal or minor, but the caller would also suffer serious damage if he/she is struck by the enemy in return.
- Kageoni (Shadow Demon) The rule of this game is that whoever gets their shadow stepped on "loses." The game itself allows competitors to manipulate shadows to their advantage. For example, Shunsui has demonstrated the ability to hide himself in shadows by using this technique, and he can also control the shadows and use them to attack an opponent by attacking the shadow they are currently standing upon.
■ Bankai: Unrevealed. Implied that he should not use it "where others can see."

"I don't know. Hitsugaya's a genius. So in a hundred years or so, he might be more powerful than me."
Shunsui is the second son of the high-ranking noble Kyoraku family. Despite being of such old and prestigious lineage, he disliked studying and training, and preferred to chase the ladies, although being told by General Yamamoto that he was able to see the truth and was wise for his age. Because of this, he was sent against his will to the Shinigami Academy. While there he came to know Jyushirou Ukitake, who would become his best friend and fellow captain. He, along with Ukitake, was one of the first Shinigami to become a captain through the Shinigami academy. Furthermore, he was personally trained by Yamamoto. He and Ukitake 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 200 years as of 110 years ago before the current time.
110 years ago, he is shown to have a unique relationship with his Lieutenant Lisa Yadomaru, though in contrast to his relationship with his current Lieutenant Nanao Ise, Lisa is more outgoing and perverted in a way much like his own personality. But he finds that his position requires him to be the "adult" in the situation. He is also the one to first mention casually to a inquisitive Lt. Sosuke Aizen that the previous 12th Division Captain was promoted to the Royal Guard. He is shortly present at the promotion ceremony waiting in line with the other captain's as the newly appointed 12th Division captain Kisuke Urahara arrives to the meeting.
9 years later Shunsui is present at a emergency meeting called by Captain-Commander Yamamoto. When he decides to create a investigation team to locate the missing 9th Division squad members. When he gives out orders, Yamamoto orders him to guard the Seireitei. When Yamamoto decides to send both Kido Captain Tessai Tsukabishi and Kido Lieutenant Hachigen Ushda of the Kido Corps. Shunsui instead advices him to send only Hachi and replace Tessai with his own lt. Lisa. He tries to cheer up a shaken Kisuke Urahara, telling him not to worry about his Lieutenant, Hiyori Sarugaki, who was sent to help the 9th Division, because she is strong, though not as strong as Lisa.
During a night-walk he meets up some squad members, and also notices lt. Sosuke Aizen taking a night walk. Later in his barracks he is addressed by a very young Nanao Ise, who has come to see his Lieutenant, Lisa Yadomaru. Shunsui then remembers that Nanao always comes to him around the first of every month to have Lisa read to her. Nanao confirms this, only to be told that Lisa is away on a mission, but should be back soon.
