Tokinada Tsunayashiro

is the current head of the Tsunayashiro family, one of the Four Noble Houses.

Appearance
Tokinada is a slender man with green eyes and medium length, dark-green hair that is generally unkempt except for a tightly tied braid along his left side of his head. He wears a loose fitting, black Shihakushō over which he wears a white haori.

Personality
While generally polite in conversation, Tokinada is openly and very sadistic, and even admits that his greatest joy is watching people fall into soul-crushing despair. After learning about the "Original Sin" of Soul Society, Tokinada adopted a nihilistic worldview, believing that there is no excuse for anyone not to act with complete malice in their meaningless world. As a result, Tokinada is quite a shrewd person.

History
At some point in the past, a young Tokinada asked his father about the Soul King. The father replied that the Soul King is the lynchpin that holds the worlds together and that without it, they would collapse on each other. When Tokinada asked what the world was before the Soul King, his father got furious and says that there was no history prior to the Soul King's birth, and that the Shinigami should be happy a being so wise and powerful exists in the first place. Tokinada pretended to be satisfied, but secretly bided his time.

Many years later, Tokinada uncovered records about the true history of Soul Society and the greatest sin of the Tsunayashiro family. Laughing, Tokinada now realized that the million-year history of Soul Society is based upon deception, and that there is no excuse for him or anyone to behave any differently. Tokinada vowed that, until the inevitable end of Soul Society, he will act with completely justified malice and evil.

Hundreds of years before the Wandenreich invasion of Soul Society, Tokinada became a Shinigami. At some point afterwards, he was accused of murdering his wife, another Shinigami. However, Tokinada's status as a noble allowed him to go relatively unpunished, much to the fury of his late wife's best friend, Kaname Tōsen.

Decades later, Tokinada murdered several Fullbringers associated with Kūgo Ginjō on his family's authority, including the father of the Fullbringer Aura Michibane. Years after the event, Tokinada encountered an older Aura and, upon telling her she was the host of the Saketsu of the Soul King, recruited her for his plans.

At some point before the Wandenreich invasion of Soul Society, Tokinada had commissioned Seinosuke Yamada to create an artificial hybrid Soul. Despite Seinosuke's best efforts, and the inclusion of thousands of soul pieces including some belonging to the Soul King, the Hybrid named Hikone was barely alive and could not move or speak. It was only when Tokinada managed to acquire the brain of the Quincy Gremmy Thoumeaux to serve as the hybrid's core that Hikone could finally be perfected and stabilized.

During the second Wandenreich attack, Tokinada took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the exposed Soul King Palace to steal the Zanpakutō Ikomikidomoe from the Hōōden.

Zanpakutō
is an ancestral Zanpakutō that belongs to the Tsuyanashiro family, and one of the oldest Zanpakutō there is. Since Tokinada's personal Zanpakutō was confiscated, he stole his family's Zanpakutō to use it instead.

Since Tokinada prefers to keep the full power of his Zanpakutō hidden, he usually calls it with a fake name and release command. Under these circumstances, Enrakyōten demonstrates different powers than usual.


 * The fake Shikai of Enrakyōten, its release command in this form is.


 * Shikai Special Ability: Upon activation of the fake Shikai, Kuten-kyōkoku can reflect any incoming attack back towards the attacker, as if it were a mirror reflecting light.


 * The true Shikai form of the Zanpakutō, its release command is . Upon activation, the sword emits a brilliant, blinding light and all the damage it has recieved is restored.


 * Shikai Special Ability: Enrakyōten has the power to mimic any Zanpakutō abilities its current wielder has witnessed beforehand. So far, it has mimicked the powers of Hisagomaru, Gagaku Kairō, Wabisuke, Senbonzakura, Haineko, Ryūjin Jakka, Kinshara, Tsuchinamazu, Kyōka Suigetsu, Suzumebachi, Shinsō, & Gegetsuburi.  Enrakyōten can mimic several powers at once, and the powers mimicked are scaled to the Reiatsu level of Enrakyōten's current wielder, making them either stronger or weaker respectively.

Zanpakutō
Power scaling: The powers mimicked by Enrakyōten are scaled to the Reiatsu level of its current wielder. While this means that weaker Zanpakutō such as Hisagomaru are made stronger in Tokinada's possession, it also means that stronger Zanpakutō such as Ryūjin Jakka are made weaker in the process.

Power distribution: While Enrakyōten can mimic several Zanpakutō powers at once, doing so weakens the individual powers, especially if particularly powerful Zanpakutō are mimiced.
