Ōko Yushima

Yushima is a Shinigami of the 12th Division and worked in the Shinigami Research and Development Institute.

Character outline
Yushima bears a great resemblance to Kageroza Inaba, having long green hair and brown eyes. During his time with the Eleventh Division, he wore the standard Shinigami shihakushō. After he was transfered to the Twelfth Division, however, he donned a long yellow robe that buttons up in the front and protrudes upwards from the neck, covering the entirety of the back of his head, the same as Kageroza wears.

History
Yushima had a difficult time graduating the Shinō Academy. When he eventually graduated, he was placed in the Eleventh Division, however, because his superiors thought that he was not cut out to fight, he was transfered to the Twelfth Division and the Shinigami Research and Development Institute, because he was smart and a hard worker.

He was the leader of Project Spearhead, however, the Central 46 discontinued the project, leaving Yushima enraged, demanding an explanation. As a last ditch move, he tossed the data on Mod Souls into the Dangai, and transfered some of his memories to Kageroza Inaba, a mod-soul he had created, just as the Shinigami came to arrest him. This left him in a seemingly unconscious state.

Zanpakutō

 * Shikai: Raiku is released with the command, . When released, the katana turns into a double-headed voulge with red markings on it.
