Shinta Seko

was the new recruit and non-seated officer in the 3rd Division during The Amagai arc.

Appearance
Shinta has long black hair, worn in a messy fashion to expose his ears and leave a portion of his bangs in the middle of his face. He wears the standard Shinigami uniform.

The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai Arc
He was first encountered by Izuru Kira and Makoto Kifune during their investigation of an old execution ground. As he was a new recruit to the 3rd Division he was not recognised by Kira. Moments later, the three fall into the execution pit, which is filled with caged Hollows. Kira and Kifune easily defeat the Hollows, but one of the Hollows manages to absorb Shinta. When Kifune attempts to kill the Hollow with Shinta, Kira stops his attack, and Kifune cites Shinta's lack of skill as the reason he should die. Shinta is eventually saved, but Kira begins to distrust Kifune after this incident.

Powers & Abilities
As an new recruit and a non-seated officer, he was barely trained in Shinigami arts. He couldn't use Shunpo to slow down his falling like Kira and Kifune did, and as a result he had to be saved by Kira. He fainted shorty afterwards.

Zanpakutō
Due to his status, it is unlikely that he is able to use perform Shikai.
