Personality
During the course of the arc, Enryu doesn't speak at all. He instead uses sign language that only Kenryu understands. And though it was plausible he was mute, when protecting Rurichiyo from Shusuke, he had a high pitched voice that he was very self-conscious about.

Synopsis
When he first appears in Karakura Town, he, Kenryū, and Rurichiyo are left without gigais. Rurichiyo wanders away from her guards and pesters Ichigo to get her food. He and Kenryu then appear and take Rurichiyo away, as hoards of hollows are approaching. Ichigo releases his Bankai and destroys the creatures, impressing them all. The next day, Ichigo discovers they are living next to him,a s well as going to his school. Ichigo proceeds to ask what they are doing here, but all of them refuse to answer.

It isnt until Ichigo defeats one of the assassins that Rurichiyo's past as the head of the Kasumiōji Clan is revealed. Kenryu and Enryu, being her bodyguards, enlists Ichigo's help in protecting her. Later, at dinner, Ichigo angers Rurichiyo and she storms out of the house. She goes to the lake where she and Orihime Inoue are attacked by another assassin. Kenryu and Enryu once again leave the fighting to Ichigo.

After Rurichiyo enters her family compound, she agrees to marry Shū Kannogi in order to keep Kumoi in line. Enryu, Kenryu, Ichigo and Rukia then follow her and are attacked by Soifon's patrol corps. Enryu releases his zanpakuto and destroys the building, giving them time to reach Shu. Rurichiyo then attacks, revealing herself to be an imposter. Enryu and Kenryu are captured, but the others escape with Shu.

The two are returned to the Kasumioji clan, at Yamamoto's order. Ichigo then enlists the help of the 3rd Division captian, Shusuke Amagai, to save Rurichiyo. They succeed, but Shusuke is revealed to be the true villain, and attempts to kill Rurichiyo and Yamamoto together. Both Enryu and Kenryu release their zanpakuto but dont seem to faze the captain. Luckily, the Vizard Ichigo defeats Shusuke, and Rurichiyo is free to go home. Enryu and Kenryu follow her.
