Kōkichirō is 7th seat of the 10th Division. Not much is known about Kōkichirō, except being mentioned in passing as Hitsugaya and Matsumoto were discussing Gin Ichimaru's involvement in Aizen's murder.

Insignia
The Insignia for the 10th Division of the Gotei 13 is the Daffodil. The meaning behind this symbol is Mystery, Egoism.

Special Duties
No special duties have been noted for the 10th Division.

In the Bount and Arrancar arcs, whenever there is a problem in the human world, Captain Hitsugaya is the leader of a squadron including Lieutenants and high-level seated Shinigami dealing with problems in the Human's world; this may be the 10th division's duty. However, this may only be for investigative matters due to all prior matters of Karakura belonging to unranked Shinigami of 13th Division. (including Rukia Kuchiki and Zennosuke Kurumadani)

In omake chapters, Hitsugaya is usually seen doing office work, signing papers and filing reports, a job actually intended for his lieutenant. Hitsugaya takes the trouble in doing so, however, as his lieutenant is usually lazing around and nobody is more adept at doing the work. Hitsugaya is also the one who took charge of looking into the records Aizen searched prior to leaving Soul Society.

Recruitment
Captain Hitsugaya's leadership is meticulous and he pays close attention to his soldiers, as a result everyone works very hard. The sole exception to this is Lieutenant Matsumoto, who cleverly pushes all her work onto her captain. The soldiers of the tenth find the captain and the lieutenant very approachable and as such the division is kept in excellent condition.

'''Frank talk!! with the 13th Division captain, Jūshirō Ukitake'''

The 10th division is made up of the reliable Captain Hitsugaya and balanced by the gentle Lieutenant Matsumoto, so I think it's a very good division. I recommend this division to those of you who want to keep refining your abilities. Hah, Captain Hitsugaya is the kind of guy who just keeps soldiering on no matter what you throw at him. And hey, look, his name kind of looks like mine. Whenever I see him I keep subconsciously wanting to give him candy. It's really a good division.
