Hachigen Ushōda

Hachigen Ushōda (有昭田 鉢玄, Ushōda Hachigen?) is a vizard, formerly the lieutenant of the Kidō Corps under Tessai Tsukabishi. He is usually referred to as Hachi (ハッチ, sometimes translated as 'Hutch').

History
Hachi was the former kido lieutenant of the Kidō corps under then kido captain Tessai Tsukabishi. In this position was sent by his captain Tsukabishi to help the squad formed to discover what happened to the 9th Division captain and his squad. Though the group he was with led by Shinji Hirako attempted to restrain Mashiro and Kensei, they too were attacked and transformed prior to Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi intervening to stop Sōsuke Aizen and his Hollowfication experiments. Hachi, like all the other transformed Shinigami, was protected by Urahara from being executed by the Soul Society and allowed them to escape peacefully where they would learn to train and master their new transformations.

Appearance
Hachi is a very large and rotund man. He wears a green tuxedo with a yellow bow tie. He has mustache and pink hair with a black crossbone design in the center. During his time in soul society he wore a long white mantle over standard shinigami robes and his hair was styled into two small horns with black tips and a black circle mark, the emblem of the Kidō Corps in the center.

Personality
Despite his unusual size, Hachi is actually a very kind and gentle man. He seems to enjoy the company of the equally kindhearted Orihime Inoue. He is quite subservient to the more authoritative members of the group obeying their commands, though with some quiet complaints.

Powers & Abilities
Kidō Master: As a member of the Kidō corps, Hachigen is a powerful kidō master. He is frequently tasked with creating various barriers and binding spells that keep the vizards headquarters concealed and to mask the groups spirit energy. He is capable of using binding arts up to No 99. He also has some healing skills, since he restored the completely destroyed Tsubaki where even Orihime had failed. By his own admission, his powers are very similar to those of Orihime Inoue's and he likes her company as a result. After being exiled from soul society, he developed his own alternate types of barriers and healing powers too.

Zanpakutō
His zanpakutō's name is unknown as is his hollow mask and he seems to dislike fighting. His zanpakutō has a broad blade and a square shaped hilt.
