Kidō Corps

Kidō Corps

There is currently little information on the Kidō Corps (鬼道衆, kidōshū), except that it takes students from the Shinigami Academy that excel in Kidō (Demon Arts) and that its operations are executed in absolute secrecy.[8]

The Kidō Corps is responsible for opening the senkaimon (穿界門; lit. world penetration gate) between the human world and Soul Society.[13]

It has been revealed that the leader of Kidō Corps also has the title of Captain, and is treated on equal terms with the Gotei 13 Captains. Just like the mentioned Captains, he or she also has a Lieutenant as a second-in-command. 100 years before the main storyline, Tessai Tsukabishi was the Captain of the Kidō Corps, with Hachigen Ushōda as his Lieutenant, until both of them were forced into exile.
