Shinji Hirako

Shinji Hirako (平子 真子, Hirako Shinji) is a Vizard and the previous captain of the 5th division in the Gotei 13.

Personality
Shinji's character is somewhat comical, adding a bit of levity to situations that are otherwise serious. He seems to like annoying his associate, Hiyori Sarugaki, which usually earns him a slap from one of her sandals. He also appears to have a history of referring to cute girls he meets as his 'first love', complete with a deadpan look on his face despite the obvious lie (he apparently never did this with Hiyori, further annoying her). Although when in combat he is quite serious.
