Luppi Antenor

was the 6th Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army, temporarily replacing Grimmjow Jeagerjaques.

Character Outline
Luppi was promoted to the 6th Espada when Grimmjow is demoted by the loss of his arm. Luppi appears youthful with short black hair and a rather feminine face. The remains of his Hollow mask (a top row of teeth) rests on the left side of his head. Luppi's attire consists of long sleeves that fall past his hands, hiding them. His Espada tattoo is prominently displayed on his right hip. Luppi tends to be rather arrogant, insulting Grimmjow for his lowered rank and boasting constantly when in battle. He tends to say "Sorry!" in a mocking tone after insulting somebody. Luppi and Gin Ichimaru, on the other hand, seem to have been on good terms, as Gin comments about being lonely after Luppi's death, citing the fact that the two often spoke. Though in a shinigami's cup skit, after Gin makes a friendly comment on it, Luppi gleefully denies this fact.
