Makizō Aramaki

, better known as Maki-Maki, is a member of the 11th division.

Personality
He is often very timid and cowardly, in contrast to other members of the 11th division, and is unable to understand why Ichigo and his friends would risk their lives for Rukia Kuchiki. He is very annoyed by Yachiru Kusajishi's nickname "Maki-Maki", and is frightened of her.

Soul Society Arc
He first appears in Chapter 120, encountering Orihime Inoue and Uryū Ishida disguised as Shinigami. Despite being drunk, he sees through Orihime and Uryū's lie claiming to be part of the 11th Division, as they had uniforms with the 12th Division's insignia on them, and were not carrying their swords. Some 12th Division members arrive and knock him to the ground, having been ordered by their captain, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, to bring the two to the 12th Division barracks. When Mayuri causes the men to explode, Orihime protects Uryū and Aramaki with her Shun Shun Rikka abilities. As Uryū begins fighting Mayuri, he orders Aramaki to take Orihime to safety, threatening to shoot him if he does not comply.

As Aramaki retreats with Orihime, Orihime demands that she let him go so that she can help Uryū, but he refuses. When Orihime bites him, he knocks her unconscious, and shortly thereafter, encounters Yachiru. Yachiru has him take her back to the 11th Division barracks so that she could lead Kenpachi Zaraki to Ichigo. He accompanies them as they look for Ichigo, eventually catching up to him after his victory over Byakuya Kuchiki. When Ichigo asks who he is, he says that he is unimportant.

Bount Arc
In the Bount Arc, Aramaki's nickname is confused with that of Maki Ichinose; Ichinose's nickname was "Maki-chan," while Aramaki's was "Maki-Maki."

Powers & Abilities
Aramaki's Zanpakutō is never seen. He is not especially strong as a Shinigami, as Uryū notes that Orihime has stronger Reiatsu than he does.
