Kokutō

is a resident of Hell. He helps Ichigo and his friends break into Hell to rescue his sister Yuzu, but later reveals himself to be evil.

Appearance
Kokutō wears a sleeveless white shirt, striped in the same fashion as the other Togabito. The upper half of his head is swathed in black bandages, and he has an accompanying black sash strapped to his waist. His chains are located on his wrists and around his neck. Tufts of white hair can be seen protruding from a fold in his bandages. After removing his bandages, Kokutō is shown to be horribly burned across the right side of his face, extending down to his chest and arms.

Personality
Kokutō is initially seen to have a kind-hearted personality, as he reveals to Ichigo why he aims to help him save his sister in Hell, due to the fact that he "once had a sister, but her stupid brother let her die". He also is seen as remorseless, such as when he walks casually up to Ichigo after impaling him, responding with "Yo, Ichigo. You okay?" This change in persona results in a more malevolent nature, as he seemingly doesn't care about the lives of others.

Powers & Abilities
Physical Power: Kokutō is shown to exhibit extreme strength, such as when he takes on Taikon, Gonjō and Garogai when Ichigo is preoccupied fighting Shuren. He is also shown to be able to take on Ichigo in his Bankai state, and gain the upper hand relatively easily.

Enhanced Speed: Kokutō is capable of moving at high speeds, and is able to fend off attacks from both Gonjō and Shuren simultaneously, whilst holding onto Karin. He also uses this speed to take Ichigo's friends by surprise, cutting them all down.

Energy Shield: Kokutō is able to immerse himself in a blue energy shield, which is strong enough to allow the Togabito to emerge unscathed from a point-blank Cero from Ichigo's Hollowfication, minus his Chains.

Equipment
Curved Sword: Kokutō wields a black sword with a zigzag design in the centre of the blade. He is shown to be extremely proficient in combat with this sword, as he is able to slice apart an energy blast from Taikon effortlessly, and cut Garogai in half with relative ease. He can also control his sword directly from his chains, as shown when Taikon swallowed his sword, prompting Kokutō to hurl the Togabito into a nearby lava pit.

Chains: Kokutō can manifest the chains binding him to Hell, and uses the one attatched to his left wrist as a long ranged weapon, like a whip. In addition, one of the chains connects his sword to his right hand, allowing him to use it for long ranged attacks.

Appearances in Other Media
Kokutō appears in Bleach: Soul Resurrección where he utilizes his sword in a whip-like fashion. He appears without the black bandages around his face.
