Shinta Seko

was the new recruit and non-seated officer in the 3rd Division during The Amagai arc. As an adept in Shinigami skills was nearly absrobed by a Hollow and he was almost killed by Makoto Kifune who despised him for his weakness.

Appearance
Shinta is a young man with short black hair. He bears a strong resemblance to Kenryū, but wears normal shinigami clothes.

The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai Arc
He was first encountered by Izuru Kira and Makoto Kifune durnig their investigation of an old execution ground. As he was a new recruit to the 3rd Division he was not recognised by Kira. Moments later, the three fall into the execution pit, which is filled with caged hollows. Kira and Kibune easily defeat the hollows, but one of the hollows manages to absorb Shinta. When Kibune attempts to kill the hollow with Shinta, Kira stops his attack, and Kibune cites Shinta's lack of skill as the reason he should die. Shinta is eventually saved, but Kira begins to distrust Kifune after this incident.

Powers & Abilities
As an new recruit and a non-seated officer, he was barely trained in Shinigami arts. He couldn't use Flash Steps to slow down his falling like Kira and Kifune did, and as a result he had to be saved by Kira. He fainted shorty afterward. Do to his status as a new recruit it is unlikely that he is able to use Shikai.
