Ginjirou Shirogane: A lieutenant before Renji?
Hi everybody! i found something interesting about a lieutenant named Ginjirou Shirogane, Apparently he was 6th division lieutenant before Renji got promoted. He's Mihane Shirogane's father and the co-owner of a lenses shop. Apparently he appears in one (or maybe more) omake chapter(s). Actually i have nothing more than this information, so i'm not sure about start Ginjirou's article before i found a more reliable source, so i'll be glad if some of my fellow users could help me with this work. I need to be certain about the chapter he appears on, or just to know if someone knows if he's a real character or just a fake one. Maul day 08:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * That would a neat little bit of info if true. I've read many (but not all) of the omakes before and I don't remember ever seeing mention of such a character. All I can confirm for certain is that I've just looked through the Colourful Bleach omakes 0-10 and he isn't in those. Must be somewhere else if he does exist. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. --Yyp 15:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I have gone through what I believe to be all of the Colourful Bleach omakes, and I have not found any reference to this Ginjirou character
 * , or any former lieutenant of the 6th Division (or any other division). If he exists, then he comes from somewhere else. I have a feeling though that it may be a piece of fanfiction. --Yyp 14:03, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Hey. I just figured that I would bring this u as Ginjiro Shirogane has been brought up again and his page has been created. According to User:Aefilion he is mentioned as "Top Secret" in the last part of the Official Bootleg under the 6th Division. Minato (Talk)  15:57, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * To be precise it is stated on page 95 in the Official Bootleg. Aefilion 16:13, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

We can't read Japanese, but I have gotten some search results when I typed his name in a search engine, and it appears to be true. I have, however, removed him from this article, since there were chart alignment issues. Arrancar109 (Talk)  17:05, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually I agree that he shouldn't be here on the characters page. We do not have a pic of him and because of that the alignment was off and the Squad 6 section was cramped. I do not kno what the page looks like, but if its short we could ask Adam to look at it. Minato  (Talk)  17:10, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

He's in the non-omake sections of Bootleg? That explains why I couldn't find him. Any chance of a scan of pg95 being uploaded so we can see? Yyp  (Talk)  19:02, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

This is the page I was talking about: Sorry if the talk page is now messed up, but I don't know how to upload this scan another way. Aefilion 22:32, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Well look, the Bootleg is going to be released in English July this year, so not being able to read Japanese is not going to be a problem. The question here is, do we want to add a character that doesn't have a picture. Given that we have Kirio Hikifune in the table means that lack of picture isn't an issue. I'll put him in. Tinni  (Talk)  00:05, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Alright folks, I put in his name. I moved Koga down to the second row to fit him in and keep the tables the "maximum six cells per row" deal that seems to make things look the nicest. The reason I moved Koga down is because 1) as a filler character he does get lower priority to a character Kubo himself designed to give context to why Renji became a Vice-captain just weeks prior to the start of the main Bleach storyline, 2) aesthetically - it looks weird to have Ginjirō Shirogane in a row by himself because of the lack of picture. I also brought Ginjirō Shirogane's page in-line with character pages in general, look wise. Hopefully, this will all make his article an interesting read for those of us who love the Gotei 13.

Zanpakuto
Why is it that we havent begun adding zanpakuto spirits to this page? Or shall I say why was it reverted recently.--Kylecharmed 22:38, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * they are in the article under the miscellanious section. WhiteStrike 22:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Lilynette Gingerback
As we decided sometime ago that she wasn't Starrk's faccione, shouldn't she be dropped down to the "others" section? That's general enough to account for her special status, as she clearly can't be simply moved up to the Espada section. Tinni 05:30, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed that too. I say go ahead, just as long as you know what you're doing. I didn't want to risk screwing up the tables for this, which is why I haven't done it myself. Arrancar109 05:31, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Done and the tables seem to have survived the ordeal. Tinni 05:52, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Lilynette's new section seems to go off the center of the page. I think in order to solve this, Menoly should probably be on the second row of that table, and the empty slot be removed. Of course, again, I'm not sure how to modify this without potentially screwing it up. But if it can't be adjusted, I'll try to fix it later at some point, or see if anyone else (including you, Tinni) can fix it. Whichever comes first. It's not a huge issue, but it doesn't look right to me. But that's just me, so it's likely nothing to worry about. Arrancar109 05:56, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

I noticed the tables have a maximum of six cells per row and so have modified the "other" table to conform to that. It meant adding a third row with just one populated cell but the table is not consistent with all the other tables. But there was no other option as adding Lilynette to that table meant that it had a total of 13 characters. Hopefully everything looks right now. Tinni 11:41, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Character Name Meanings
Has Kubo Tite ever revealed the meaning of character names in the series besides Ichigo? I found this list: http://community.livejournal.com/soul_society/330097.html But several characters are missing, and at least one of the names conflicts with the wiki, which throws all their translations into doubt. DrizztxGuen 18:30, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think anyone other than Ichigo has had the meaning of their name revealed in the story itself, but KT did reveal where Rukia's name came from in an interview. We actually have a thread dedicated to this in the Forum now. Direct all further name meaning related posts to that forum please. --Yyp 23:30, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Narunosuke
I was wondering where exactly should we place Narunosuke. I've put him in the "Pluses, Deceased & Other Characters" part of the Miscellaneous section for now. He is a Toju and thus doesn't fit anywhere else, but being a Toju means that he was once a Zanpakuto spirit - so maybe he should be grouped with them? I'm not really sure. -- Yyp (Talk) 15:00, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
