Shū Kannogi

is Rurichiyo Kasumiōji's fiancé. He is introduced during The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai arc. His appearence seems to be that of a younger teenager. He also has brown hair and is often seen with a melancholic face. Shuu is first seen at the Seireitei worrying about Rurichiyo's whereabouts. Then, he is appointed as the head of the Kasumiōji household while Rurichiyo is away in the real world as part of Gyōkaku Kumoi's scheme to take over the Kasumiōji family. Shuu is not as adventurous as Rurichiyo, whom he calls "Ruri-chan", and has never set foot out of the manor except in his ported chair. When he discovers that Rurichiyo at the wedding was a fake, he decided to help Rukia and Ichigo to escape by pretending being their hostage. He then mainly traveled on Ichigo's back. When he saw Ichigo fighting with the Captain Shūsuke Amagai, he intervened by placing himself in between to stop them and beg Amagai to listen, which he accepted and ultimatly helped them. He loves Rurichiyo and tries his best to protect and save her. He seems to feel safe by Ichigo and Rukia's side as he trusts them.
