Ganju's Gang

Ganju's Gang is a group of men who serve the Shiba clan and roam the West Rukongai with their boss, Ganju Shiba.

The gang members, like their leader, are partial for using wild boars as their means of transportation.

Soul Society arc
When Uryū, Chad and Orihime try to assist Ichigo who is fighting their boss, the gang stops them. When it is time for them to leave they inform Ganju of this and the gang departs together with their boss.

One of the members, Taichi, later cooks food for Ganju and the Ryoka. When Ganju is about to go to Seireitei together with the Ryoka, the gang listens to his speech and are moved by his words.

Bount arc
Two gang members, Hawk and Fever, are hanging out in a Kusajishi casino when Jin Kariya enters the place to make a bid for the locals to invade the Seireitei. The two sneak out at the first sign of trouble and run to report what they saw to Kūkaku. Claiming to have gone there to do research, they are punished by Kūkaku for having done something forbidden and for lying about it.

The gang later accompanies Chad, Uryū and Orihime on a trip to Kusajishi to confront Kariya and the Bounts. Unfortunately, only Ichigo, who distrusts the boars makes it, since all the others are lost in the forest under Ganju's failed guidance.

Kenji Yamashita
Kenji is a blond man with a tuft of hair rising above his forehead. He rides a boar with a violet mohawk called Mindy. He is never seen without his sunglasses.

He is the worst in fist fights as well as in arguments.

Mitsuru Ishino
He is a man with teardrop eyebrows who sports a large Afro haircut held up with the help of a purple headband. His boar has a small patch of curly blond hair, and is called Sonny.

He has absolutely no sense of rhythm.

Sadatomo Saionji
Sadatomo is a bald headed robust man with sunken eyes and is the most menacing member of the gang, although that's not saying much. He wears a drab looking beige shirt and rides a boar called Connie with a single horn strapped to its forehead.

He is naturally good at taking care of small animals.

Taichi Miyamoto
He is a thin man wearing a short pink kimono decorated with hearts. His dark green hair is cut short except in the front where it is grown long and combed over his right eye. Cindy, the boar he rides, has a triangle of black hair on its forehead, echoing his own hairstyle.

Taichi always has a large alarm clock strapped to his back, meant to remind the gang's leader of his designated curfew hour.

He is Ganju's No. 1 follower and a good cook.
