Yasochika Iemura

is the 3rd seated officer of the 4th Division, and the leader of the first relief team serving under Captain Retsu Unohana. He is also the Vice-President of the Shinigami Men's Association.

Character Outline
Iemura is very vain, likes to act cool, and thinks he will look better without glasses. He was born on a leap day, February 29. His rank is quite high, but since he comes from the weakest division in terms of combat he has to call the other division's 3rd seats with a -sama suffix. He meticulously keeps a diary, which he sometimes defeats the purpose of by narrating what he's writing in it (particularly when lamenting something). He takes direct command of the Division like a general. His speedy treatments rival those of the lieutenant, Isane Kotetsu.

Soul Society arc
He is first shown directing the relief team of the 4th Division while being on the front lines himself. He is shown briefing all the Division's Lieutenants after the 11th Division suffers multiple losses due to injures including 3rd seat Ikkaku Madarame and 5th seat Yumichika Ayasegawa. After most of the intruders (Uryū Ishida, Chad, Ganju) are taken for medical treatment, he is shown documenting the recent events in Soul Society, while not noticing that he is speaking out loud. Later, after Aizen revealed his treachery, he is seen directing the relief teams to treat all the injured. He also notes Inoue Orihime's healing abilities, wondering what technique she was using and how its healing speed surpassed that of his and Lieutenant Kotetsu's as well pondering the possibility of winning Inoue's heart with his 3rd seat position if she joined the 4th Division. He is then seen drawing his Zanpakutō briefly on 8th Seat Harunobu Ogidō for "annoying him", but went to greet Captain Unohana as she arrived. Through the rest of the story he is mostly seen in omake chapters, usually involving both his Division Captain and Lieutenant. Iemura is also the Vice-President of the Shinigami Men's Association under President Tetsuzaemon Iba.

 * (About Orihime Inoue) "If someone like that would join our Division, I can definitely use my status as the 3rd Seat to do her in to my heart's content."
