Hachigen Ushōda

Hachigen Ushōda (有昭田 鉢玄, Ushōda Hachigen) is a vizard, formerly the lieutenant of the Kidō Corps under Tessai Tsukabishi. He is usually referred to as Hachi (ハッチ, sometimes translated as 'Hutch').

Personality
Despite his unusual size, Hachi is actually a very kind and gentle man. He seems to enjoy the company of the equally kindhearted Orihime Inoue. He is quite subservient to the more authoritative members of the group obeying their commands, though with some quiet complaints.

Appearance
Hachi is a very large and rotund man. He wears a green tuxedo with a yellow bow tie. He has mustache and pink hair with a black crossbone design in the center. During his time in soul society he wore a long white mantle over standard shinigami robes and his hair was styled into two small horns with black tips and black circle mark in the center.

History
Hachi was the former lieutenant of the Kidō corps. In this position he was part of the group dispatched to locate the missing 9th Division captain Kensei Muguruma. Shortly after this he was transformed into a vizard and banished to the human world.

Powers and Abilities
As a member of the Kidō corps, Hachigen is a powerful kidō master. He is frequently tasked with creating various barriers and binding spells that keep the vizards headquarters concealed and to mask the groups spirit energy. He is capable of using binding arts up to No 99. He also has some healing skills, since he restored the almost destroyed Tsubaki where even Orihime had failed. By his own admission, his powers are very similar to those of Orihime Inoue's and he likes her company as a result.

His zanpakutō's name is unknown as is his hollow mask and he seems to dislike fighting. His zanpakutō has a broad blade and a square shaped hilt.
