Shin'etsu Kisaragi

was a Shinigami from the First Division and the father of Shūsuke Amagai.

Appearance
Shin'etsu keeps his dark brown hair in a messy fashion and he has a small beard. As a seated member, he wore the standard Shinigami uniform, albeit it was tattered.

History
When the Kasumiōji Clan began manufacturing the Bakkōtō, the Central 46 denied Captain Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's request to investigate the clan's compound. Nonetheless, Shin'etsu offered to sneak in anyway. While there, Gyōkaku Kumoi found him and forced a Bakkōtō on him. Kumoi then ordered for him to kill the person that sent him. He returns to Yamamoto, but his captain unleashes his Shikai to defend himself. Despite his hesitation, he kills Shin'etsu. Shūsuke finds his dying body and hears his father's last words, "Beware the Bakkōtō".

Zanpakutō
Shin'etsu's Zanpakutō is a regular katana with a rectangular tsuba and its handle is wrapped in a dark fabric.
