Jinta Hanakari

is a small, red-haired boy who is supposed to do manual labor for the shop, such as cleaning. Instead he usually slacks off and forces Ururu Tsumugiya to do all the work. Though he frequently bullies her, he does care for Ururu as he recovers her body after she is injured by an Arrancar. Though he is more knowledgeable than one might expect given his young appearance, he is still childish and immature, calling Renji Abarai a. Jinta seems to have a crush on Yuzu Kurosaki, calling her "The Goddess" and regarding anything she gives to him as sacred. His primary weapon is an oversized iron rod, similar to a tetsubo, which he can use to beat others (mainly Hollows but also Kon) to a bloody pulp. Jinta dreams of being a pro baseball player.

Agent of the Shinigami Arc
Jinta was seen bullying Ururu, and also surveyed Ichigo's training from Kisuke. For the most part he was an annoyance, but warned Ichigo that the last encroachment was nothing like the others, showing at least a moderate knowledge of Pluses and Hollow.

Arrancar Arc
Jinta protected Kisuke Urahara's shop while he was away, along with Renji and Ururu. He watched Renji's fight with Yldfort Granz, and took Ururu away after she was injured.
