Nanao Ise is a character in the manga and anime series Bleach. She is the lieutenant of the 8th Division of the Gotei 13, under Captain Shunsui Kyoraku, and vice-president of the Shinigami Women's Association. (Source: Wikipedia) Nanao is very studious and does most of her captains paperwork/other boring duties while he naps and drinks sake. Their relationship is very good, all things considered. As of yet, it is unknown how far she has progressed with her zanpaktou, but Nanao has admitted that she isn't very good at swordplay. However, she is a master at kido (Demon Arts).
Date of Birth: March 27th Zodiac Sign: Aries Height: 173 cm (5'8") Weight: 56 kg Izuru Kira was born to a family of lesser nobility, his parents having been dead since he was young. While in the Shinigami Academy, Kira befriended Momo Hinamori, Renji Abarai, and Shūhei Hisagi, and they were often seen spending time together. After graduation, Kira, along with Renji and Momo, was sent to the 5th Division, where he stayed until Gin Ichimaru became Captain of the 3rd Division. Kira is loyal to both his friends and his duties, perhaps to a fault. Despite the close friendship he shares with Momo Hinamori, Kira 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. Kira's Zanpakutou is Wabisuke. Its Shikai command is "Raise your head." When activated, Wabisuke's Shikai bends the blade into a square hook. In this form, Wabisuke doubles the weight of whatever it strikes. The ability affects both inanimate objects and living beings. Though a seemingly pointless ability in sword combat, the effect is cumulative. With a second hit from Wabisuke, the weight will double again and so on, exponentially. Thus, after seven or eight blocked attacks, his opponents are unable to lift their own swords. Once Wabisuke's effect becomes noticeable, Kira's opponents often fall to their knees with their heads bent down, as if in apology, thus the name of Kira's Zanpakutou.

Isane Kotetsu, is the lieutenant of the 4th Division, the medical and supply relief division, in Gotei 13 under Captain Retsu Unohana. Isane is the older sister of Kiyone Kotetsu, one of the two 3rd seats in the 13th Division. Unlike Kiyone, she is generally quiet and observant, though she shares her sister's sense of loyalty. She looks to Unohana as a mentor and mother figure. It is noted by Unohana that Isane suffers from frequent and recurring nightmares. This is sometimes used as material for jokes, as Isane's nightmares are often odd or whimsical in their contents. For example, she once had a nightmare involving fish paste. As a pun, her given name contains the kanji for "brave," while her sister's contained the kanji for "quiet." Isane's zanpakutÅ� is Itegumo (å‡�雲, lit. Frozen Cloud, Viz: Frozen Snow). Its shikai command is "sprint" (奔れ, hashire?, English "run"). The guard is shaped like a snowflake. When its shikai is activated, two smaller blades protrude from Itegumo's hilt at 45° angles. She has yet to be seen using it in combat, since the one time she activates it she is immediately knocked out by Ichigo.
Akatsuki's older brother, who works in the trading business and is known to travel back and forth between Aqua and Man-Home. He considers himself to be among the elite, and enjoys antagonizing his brother from time to time when they meet. In the anime, it is implied that he also lends his brother money from time to time. At one point, he rents Akari's gondola for the sake of transporting some (Neo) Venezian glass, and after the job is completed, he compliments her for a job well done. "You accepted the job and saw it through. That's what it takes to be a professional".
Arata Sagimori is a second-year high school student at Achiga Girls' Academy in Nara Prefecture and a protagonist of the spin-off manga "Saki: Achiga-hen episode of side-A". She is a childhood friend of Kuro and Yuu Matsumi; her family owns a bowling alley in the area. As a kindergartener, she grew up playing mahjong with adults at the Matsumi inn but stopped playing after her first year of elementary school. She is an admirer of Harue Akado and thus lost interest in the game after Harue stopped playing following Achiga's loss in the national tournament. When Kuro informs her that Harue has begun playing mahjong again, Arata agrees to join Achiga's mahjong club. She was assigned on the position of Achiga mahjong club president by Harue as most level-headed member of the team.
