List of Shinigami

Overview
Shinigami are Death Gods or Soul Reapers. They're job is to send hollows and spirits to Soul Society in order to maintain a balance. They all have katana known as Zanpakuto. Each Zanpakuto has a unique name which is required for a shinigami to learn in order to use Shikai or bankai. The Zanpakuto has 2 forms of release Shikai and Bankai. Not all shinigami can use these however. All of the vice captains can use Shikai while some, like Renji, can use Bankai. Most but not all of the captains can use Bankai. The only exception to this is the Captain of Squad 11 Zaraki Kenpachi. There are a few runaway shinigami, namely Youruichi and Urahara. Kurosaki Ichigo is what is known as a substitute shinigami, which is a shinigami who gained powers by taking another's.
