Kirio Hikifune

Kirio Hikifune (曳舟 桐生, Hikifune Kirio) was the Former captain of the 12th Division. Little is known about Kirio, except that she left soon before the start of the Turn Back the Pendulum miniseries under the guise of retirement. In actuality, she was transferred to the Royal Guard. Her lieutenant, Hiyori Sarugaki, was very attached and thought of her as a mother-figure. She was succeeded by Kisuke Urahara.
