Mashiro Kuna

Mashiro Kuna (久南 白, Kuna Mashiro?) is the former lieutenant of the 9th Division under Kensei Muguruma.

Character Outline
Mashiro is one of the more outlandishly dressed of the vizard, wearing a white bodysuit with orange gloves, boots and scarf, and wears goggles in her hair, which is a vivid shade of green. Her overall style of dress is reminiscent of the costumes worn by the tokusatsu superheroes of late 1950s Japanese television, perhaps meant a reference to her childish personality. During her days as a lieutenant she wore a basic shinigami uniform but with overlong sleeves, as well as a pair of glasses held on top of her wavier hair.

Personality
The most childish of the vizard, Mashiro is a rather air headed and ditzy girl who rarely takes note of the bigger picture around her and is prone to throwing fits for the smallest of things, such as Orihime befriending Hachigen Ushōda or when Kensei insisted on following his subordinates into battle. Her idiotic personality frequently irritates her former captain Kensei, who has noted she is capable of annoying him even while asleep. She often calls Ichigo 'Berry-tan', a play on Ichigo's name. She seems to be good friends with Hachi, taking an instant disliking to Orihime Inoue befriending Hachigen Ushōda. She has the uncanny ability of infuriating Kensei even when he is sleeping, ever since she became his lieutenant.

History
Former lieutenant of the 9th division, Mashiro followed her captain Kensei while he was investigating mysterious disappearances in Rukongai and frequently upset him with her childish demeanor. Later she and the others were ambushed by a masked Kaname Tōsen, and as a result the two were transformed into half-hollows. Though several other Shinigami led by Shinji Hirako attempted to restrained Mashiro and Kensei, they too were attacked and transformed prior to Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi intervened to stop Sōsuke Aizen and his Hollowfication experiments. Mashiro, like all the other transformed Shinigami, was protected by Urahara from being executed by the Soul Society and allowed them to escape peacefully where they would learn to train and master their new transformations.

Zanpakutō
Like many of her fellow vizard, virtually nothing is known about Mashiro's zanpakutō, although it has a circular tsuba and she carries it on her back.

Vizard
Strangely she seems to be quite in touch with her inner hollow since she was able to maintain her hollow mask for fifteen hours on her first attempt, which means she did not need to train like the other vizards. Her mask resembles that of a hornet or a bee.
