{Physical Appearance Image}
{Physical Appearance Description}Kensei's body is a canvas of scars, bearing witness to his countless battles throughout the ages. From slash marks on his arms and torso to blunt impact scars on his chest, each mark tells a story of the challenges he has faced and overcome. His arms and torso are crisscrossed with slash scars, each telling a story of a deadly encounter with a formidable opponent. Some of the scars are long and jagged, while others are shallow and faint, but each one serves as a reminder of the challenges he has faced and the foes he has overcome.
One particular scar on his left arm stands out - a deep gash that runs from his shoulder to his wrist, a memento from a fierce battle against a powerful Hollow that nearly cost him his life. Another scar on his chest, shaped like a crescent moon, bears witness to a near-fatal encounter with a rogue Shinigami who turned against the Soul Society. Each scar carries its own significance, representing a moment of failure or triumph in Kensei's long and storied history as a warrior.
Despite the scars, Kensei's body has somewhat remained in peak physical condition. Kensei's body used to be a testament to his physical prowess and dedication to combat training. His muscular physique was well-defined, showcasing his strength, agility, and endurance. His broad shoulders and chiseled arms were a result of years of intense training and battles fought. His chest and back were well-sculpted, reflecting his physical resilience and durability in the face of adversaries. His legs were powerful and nimble, allowing him to move with speed and grace on the battlefield. However, his physique has long since dwindled with both age and inactivity.
Kensei's athleticism is evident in his movements, which are precise and fluid, even now in his age. His body language exudes confidence and control, reflecting remnants of his mastery of martial arts and swordsmanship. He moves with purpose and efficiency, wasting no energy in unnecessary actions. His physicality was a key asset in battle, allowing him to react swiftly and tactically to changing situations back in his prime. However, the strength that his muscles had once held has waned over time, immensely so.
Kensei's face bears the marks of a life well-lived, with numerous wrinkled lines that crisscross his forehead, around his eyes, and on his cheeks. These lines are etched deep into his skin, telling the story of years of battles and hardships he has endured. Each line reflects a moment of intense concentration, a furrowed brow during a fierce battle, or a stoic resolve in the face of danger. They add depth and character to his expression, giving him a weathered and seasoned look that hints at the wisdom and experience that comes with age.
Kensei's long, spiky white hair is one of his most distinctive features. It flows down to his back, reaching almost to his waist, and is in stark contrast against his pale, ashen skin. The harsh white color of his hair is a result of the years spent fighting for the Soul Society and reflects his unwavering commitment to the betterment of the Soul Society. His hair seems to have a life of its own, often swaying gently even when there is no breeze, as if it's in tune with the natural flow of wind around him.
Similarly, Kensei's chest-length beard is also white, giving him a distinguished and mature appearance. His beard is well-groomed and neatly trimmed, adding to his overall air of wisdom and experience. It frames his face, drawing attention to his intense gaze and chiseled features. His beard is also a reflection of his commitment to his family and the reputation that they once had, symbolizing his dedication to the ideal of nobility that he had hoped to uphold in conjunction with his numerous grandchildren, before their deaths.
Kensei's skin tone is pale and ashen, greying slowly over the years. It's as if the battles he has fought and the wounds he has endured have left a mark on his skin, lending him an otherworldly and ethereal appearance. The pallor of his skin contrasts starkly against his harsh white hair and dark robes, making him stand out in a crowd. His ashen skin adds to his enigmatic and unique persona. The pale hue of his skin may also serve as a reminder of the sacrifices he has made and the burdens he carries, further deepening his complexities.
One of Kensei's most striking features is his eyes, black as night itself. They are sharp, piercing, and seem to hold a world of intensity within them. When he looks at someone, his gaze is unwavering and penetrating, as if he can see right through them. His eyes are a reflection of his unwavering focus and determination, revealing a deep sense of resolve and a keen sense of perception. Kensei's intense gaze can be unnerving to those who meet his eyes, as they convey a sense of fearlessness and authority.
His eyes seem to size up others with a calculating precision, assessing their strengths and weaknesses with a keen eye. It's as if his gaze alone can convey a silent challenge, daring others to stand against him in battle. Kensei's eyes are a window into his indomitable spirit and unyielding willpower, leaving a lasting impression on those who meet his gaze. Yet, those who dare stare further within will see a broken soul, weathered and beaten through a myriad of tragedies throughout his numerous lifetimes.
Despite his rugged appearance, Kensei's demeanor exudes a sense of distinction and nobility. He carries himself with an air of grace and poise, showcasing his years of experience as a warrior. His posture is always erect, his movements deliberate and purposeful. He has a commanding presence, and his practiced confidence commands respect from those around him.
Kensei's attire speaks to his practicality and battle-hardened nature. His Shihakusho, the traditional garb of a Shinigami, shows signs of frequent use and wear. The fabric is faded and frayed in some places, a testament to the countless battles he has fought. There are patches and stitches where it has been mended from damage sustained in combat, showcasing his resourcefulness and determination to keep fighting.
Kensei's robes are dark grey, reflecting his somber mood and inner turmoil. The color choice also serves to conceal the scars that mar his body, as he feels shame and regret about them. The robes hang loosely on his frame, allowing for ease of movement in battle, and are fastened securely with a simple yet sturdy sash. He eschews any unnecessary adornments or embellishments, as he values functionality and efficiency above all else.
His Zanpakuto, Kamikaze no Tatsu, is always kept at his side in a sheath, which shows signs of wear and tear from being drawn and sheathed countless times in the heat of battle. The hilt is wrapped in well-worn leather, providing a comfortable grip and showing the marks of his firm grasp during combat. The blade itself is gleaming and sharp, a testament to Kensei's meticulous care and maintenance of his weapon, despite its battle-weary appearance.
Kensei's outward appearance radiates an unwavering sense of resilience and inner strength. It's as if he carries an invisible shield of determination and perseverance that surrounds him, creating an aura that draws people towards him. His scars, instead of being seen as signs of weakness, are viewed as symbols of his tenacity and resilience in the face of adversity.

-Personality-
Dislikes:
- {Himself}
Kensei harbors deep self-loathing due to his perceived failure in protecting his family and clan from the massacre that took place in the past. He carries the weight of guilt and shame, blaming himself for not being able to prevent the tragic event, and this self-loathing constantly gnaws at him, affecting his self-esteem and outlook on life. Kensei struggles with feelings of unworthiness and often finds it challenging to forgive himself for what he perceives as his failures. - {Reminders of the Massacre}
Kensei despises anything that reminds him of the massacre that wiped out his family and clan. Places, objects, or even people that trigger memories of the traumatic event are deeply distressing to him, and he tries to avoid them as much as possible. The pain and sorrow associated with the massacre are still fresh in his mind, and he can't help but feel a sense of bitterness and anger towards anything that reminds him of that dark chapter of his life. - {Betrayal}
Kensei has a deep aversion to betrayal, both in personal relationships and in his role as a warrior. Having experienced betrayal in the past, Kensei finds it hard to trust others completely and is wary of those who exhibit deceitful or treacherous behavior. He values loyalty and integrity above all else and feels a profound sense of disappointment and anger towards those who betray trust or break promises. The person that comes to mind the most whenever he is reminded of betrayal is Tokinada Tsunayashiro. Any betrayal he feels sends him into a blind rage. - {Lack of Justice}
Kensei despises the lack of justice in the world, especially when it comes to the Central 46's failure to bring the perpetrators of the massacre of his family and clan to justice. Despite having adequate time to respond upon Tokinada's deviant behavior, his immense talent left them to inaction, ultimately resulting in the death of his family. He is frustrated with the corruption and bureaucratic red tape that often hinder the pursuit of justice and fairness. Even as a former member of the Central 46, he was unable to secure justice. What more for those without his station? - {Injustice Towards the Weak}
Kensei has a strong dislike for acts of injustice, especially when it is directed towards the weak and vulnerable. He has a deep sense of compassion and empathy towards those who are oppressed or mistreated, and he finds it intolerable when he witnesses others taking advantage of the weak or abusing their power. Kensei feels a moral obligation to protect the innocent and powerless, and he becomes vehemently opposed to any form of injustice or exploitation. This distaste stems from the ruthlessness of his upbringing, and was manifest in how he raised his son, turning the Tsunayashiro family down a new path. Not that it mattered. - {Lack of Support}
Kensei is disappointed and frustrated with the lack of support he has received after the massacre of the Tsunayashiro Clan, one of the Great Noble families. He feels abandoned and let down by the institution that he once served, and this has caused him to develop a sense of bitterness and resentment towards the current authorities, believing that their devotion has swayed since his time a thousand years prior. Kensei dislikes the lack of support and recognition for his efforts and sacrifices, and he feels that his loyalty and dedication have been criminally underappreciated and underserved. - {Weakness}
Kensei dislikes weakness, both in himself and in others. He believes in the importance of strength and resilience, and he finds it frustrating when he or others exhibit signs of weakness, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. Kensei strives to be strong and capable in all aspects of his life. This is a remnant of his upbringing that he wished he could erase, but the scars had been ingrained too deep into his mind and his body to simply forget. - {Inaction}
Kensei despises inaction, especially when it comes to standing up for what is right or taking decisive action in the face of injustice. He believes that complacency and indifference are detrimental and that taking action is necessary to bring about positive change. Kensei is frustrated by those who choose to turn a blind eye or avoid taking responsibility, and he actively opposes passivity or inaction when it comes to matters of importance. - {Injustice towards Innocents}
Kensei is deeply disturbed by any form of injustice towards innocent individuals, especially when they are defenseless or vulnerable. He has a strong sense of duty to protect the innocent and is angered by any mistreatment or harm inflicted upon them. Kensei is vocal in his opposition to such injustices and actively works towards preventing harm to those who are unable to protect themselves. This is a noble virtue he picked up from his ideation of what a noble should be, and protecting the innocent was one of the core tenants he created for himself. - {Mundane Inconveniences}
While Kensei's dislikes are mostly centered around larger issues such as injustice and betrayal, he also has a distaste for mundane inconveniences that disrupt his daily routine. For example, he dislikes dealing with paperwork, bureaucracy, and tedious administrative tasks. Kensei prefers to focus on more meaningful pursuits and finds such mundane inconveniences to be tedious and time-consuming. This distaste has only grown over the years, as his advanced age has made him even more temperamental.
Likes:
- {Honorable Combat} Kensei values honorable combat above all else. He enjoys engaging in battles where his opponent fights with skill, courage, and integrity. Kensei believes that true warriors should uphold the principles of bushido, the way of the samurai, and engage in fair and honorable duels that test their skill and resolve. He believes that true nobility would find value in understanding honor. This does not mean that he always fights honorably, however. It only means that he finds shame within himself when he fights without it.
- {Mastery of the Sword}Kensei has dedicated his life to mastering the art of the sword. He takes great pleasure in the pursuit of perfection in his swordsmanship, constantly seeking to improve his technique, speed, and precision. He enjoys the feeling of wielding a finely crafted katana with grace and skill, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with mastering the way of the sword. It also helps to know that his Zanpakuto, the reflection of his soul, also takes the shape of a sword. To him, this meant that mastering the blade was tantamount to mastering the soul. Typical that the tragedies that marred his life had caused him to lose sight of this proficiency, similar to that of his soul.
- {Loyalty and Brotherhood}Kensei values loyalty and brotherhood among his comrades. He finds great joy in forming strong bonds with his fellow warriors, sharing in their victories and sorrows, and fighting side by side with them on the battlefield. Kensei believes that the bond of brotherhood among warriors is unbreakable and that it is a source of great strength and inspiration. This value of loyalty is what gave him an insurmountable devotion to the Soul Society. At first, it was to his family, then the Gotei 13, then the Central 46.
- {Meditation}Kensei finds solace in the practice of meditation and the teachings of Zen philosophy. He enjoys the quiet contemplation and self-reflection that comes with meditation, as well as the insights and wisdom that can be gained from Zen teachings. Kensei believes that a calm and focused mind is essential to mastering the way of the warrior, and he finds great pleasure in the serenity and clarity that meditation and Zen philosophy bring. For the past few hundred years however, the lure of meditation and self reflection had only caused more pain. Internalization had only let the tragedies seep into the present once more. He couldn't allow that.
- {Nature}Kensei has a deep appreciation for nature and the outdoors. He finds peace and inspiration in the beauty of the natural world, and he enjoys spending time in the wilderness, whether it's hiking through forests, climbing mountains, or simply sitting by a tranquil stream. Kensei believes that nature is a powerful source of energy and inspiration that can help rejuvenate his body and spirit. Nothing is more rejuvenating than the feeling of the wind blowing against his skin, be it a gentle breeze or a mighty gale.
- {Poetry and Calligraphy}
Kensei has a love for the arts, particularly poetry and calligraphy. He enjoys expressing his thoughts and emotions through the written word, and he finds joy in composing haikus or creating intricate calligraphic artwork. Kensei sees poetry and calligraphy as forms of self-expression and ways to convey the beauty and complexity of the world around him. There is no more beauty in his writing as of late, as the ugliness of his soul is the only thing that can be translated. - {Traditional Japanese Music}
Kensei appreciates the beauty and artistry of music, particularly traditional Japanese instruments such as the shamisen, shakuhachi, and taiko drums. He finds joy in listening to or playing these instruments, as their melodies and rhythms evoke a sense of cultural heritage and resonate with his warrior spirit. Kensei believes that music has the power to touch the soul and elevate the spirit, and he finds great pleasure in immersing himself in its melodies. The artistry of these instruments are a solemn reminder of his dearly beloved son and the songs that played in the Tsunayashiro halls. - {Tea Ceremonies}Kensei finds peace and tranquility in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. He enjoys the meticulous and meditative process of preparing and serving tea, as well as the serene and contemplative atmosphere that accompanies it. Kensei sees the tea ceremony as a form of art that embodies the principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility, which are also central to his code of bushido. Tea ceremonies have a special place in his heart, for the only times he could socialize with his family in his youth was during the tedious process of preparing the tea.
- {Animals, especially Horses}
Kensei has a soft spot for animals, particularly horses. He appreciates their strength, grace, and loyalty, and he finds joy in spending time with them, whether it's riding them into battle, tending to their needs, or simply bonding with them. Kensei sees animals as fellow creatures of nature and finds solace and companionship in their presence. After all, animals were the only bonds he could form without fear of betrayal. Not like the sting that people could leave behind. - {Traditional Japanese Clothing and Aesthetics}
Kensei has a deep appreciation for the aesthetics of traditional Japanese clothing and fashion. He takes pride in wearing traditional samurai attire, such as a kimono or hakama, as it symbolizes his cultural heritage and embodies the elegance and sophistication of Japanese craftsmanship. Kensei finds pleasure in the fine details of traditional clothing, such as the intricate patterns, colors, and fabrics, and he takes joy in upholding the customs and traditions of his ancestors through his attire and appearance. He believes that clothing is not just a practical necessity, but also an expression of one's identity and culture, and he finds satisfaction in maintaining a sense of authenticity and cultural pride through his attire.
