Theories that are based on info and examples from the Manga are allowed assuming that because Kubo made Isshin a shinigami that he would make Kanoji one. Isshin always had a strange air about him with the way he seemed to know things about Rukia and Ichigo back when Ichigo was first changed so Kubo foreshadowed Isshin being a shinigami. the thought of Kanoji being a shinigami at this point is nothing but a crack theory based on the wishes of fans
