He became the first Shinigami to have an evolved Zanpakuto, known as Shin'uchi because one needed to know its name in order to achieve bankai.
All of the names in Soul Society, including Zanpakuto, Shikai, and Bankai, were originally chosen by Ichibe. Ichib is a powerful Shinigami who never loses sight of the task at hand. He usually has a cheery expression on his face and speaks in a direct, loud voice. He has a bald head, red eyes, bushy eyebrows, and a long, black beard. He is a large, broad man.

He once instructed Retsu Unohana in healing methods in the past. Kirinji is a tall, lean man with black hair that has been styled into a ridiculously large pompadour with tapered sideburns. He chews on a little stick a lot.
He sometimes treats many of his fellow Shinigami, even captains, with disdain and refers to the Gotei 13 as if they were mere children. Because of his patronising demeanour, the rest of the Royal Guard frequently disciplines him by striking him in the head with physical force. Being the first member of the Royal Guard to confront Yhwach upon his arrival at the Soul King Palace and announcing that he wouldn't confront him if he didn't believe victory was possible demonstrate his fighting prowess.

Any damaged Reiatsu within the injured person's body is gradually driven out with their blood by submerging them beneath the waters of this spring. Kirinji has the ability to control the flow and temperature of the water, which he can use to his advantage to burn opponents.
Blood Pond Hell or Chi no Ike Jigoku A bubbling pool of blood that appears to be filling the steaming hot spring. The blood of those who have already received treatment in the White Bone Hell is replenished as a result of it. During combat, the water can be used to replace a friend's depleted blood supply.

Kirio Hikifune (曳舟 桐生), also known as "Ruler of Grain" (Koku), is a former captain of the 12th Division and a member of the Royal Guard. She is the "Divine General of the South" and the Second Officer of the Zero Division. Hiyori Sarugaki, her lieutenant, developed a strong bond with Hikifune while she served as the captain of the 12th Division. She eventually came to love Hikifune as much as she would her own mother. The Soul King recognised Hikifune's invention of Gikon as a significant contribution to Soul Society at some point, and about 110 years ago, Hikifune left the Gotei 13 after receiving a promotion to the Royal Guard as a result of her invention. Kisuke Urahara took her place shortly after, but he skipped the official ceremony.
Hikifune is a happy person who will keep that attitude even while getting angry at people for little things, like hitting Shinji Hirako for not recognising her. She, like Ichib Hysube, will frequently use physical force to keep her rowdy teammate Tenjir Kirinji in check and take over for him when it comes to educating guests. Hikifune is a tall woman with green eyes and a fair complexion. She has bangs that frame the sides of her face and long, smooth purple hair that reaches her mid-back. The ends of her hair curl up.

4. Oetsu Nimaiya aka God of the Sword
Divine General of the West / Zero Division 3rd Officer
Creation/invention: Zanpakuto
Zampakuto: Not yet revealed
Oetsu once said "You're looking at things completely the wrong way. Which is superior, the Zanpakutō or the Shinigami? Let's think about that to start with, yeah?!"
Oetsu Nimaiya (二枚屋 王悦) is a member of the Royal Guard, holding the title "God of the Sword" (Toshin). He holds the position of Third Officer of the Zero Division as well as "Divine General of the West". Dark-skinned Nimaiya has thick, black hair that is dyed green on the sides and is shaved. He sports a modified version of the Shinigami shihakush, which includes a shorter hakama that reveals his lower legs and a green undergarment in its place. Over this, he wore a white, sleeveless puffer jacket with the Royal Guard emblem on the back and the bottom decorated with the alternating circle and diamond pattern of a captain's haori. His outfit is finished off with a pair of green slippers with gold trim that look like shoes and gold-framed sunglasses with blue lenses.
Creation/Invention
Even the Soul King acknowledged Nimaiya's invention of the Zanpakuto as a significant contribution to Soul Society, leading to his promotion to the Royal Guard. The Asauchi, the fundamental models for what will eventually become a Shinigami's distinctive Zanpakuto, were made by Nimaiya.
Unique Skills or Power
Master Swordsmith: Since Nimaiya invented the Zanpakuto, he is the foremost expert on its background, design, and functionalities. He is the only person capable of reforging a broken Zanpakuto and possesses the greatest understanding of the Zanpakuto. He creates the Asauchi, the strongest Zanpakuto, which are capable of becoming anything. Additionally, he has the ability to forge swords with such cutting edge and sharpness that no sheath can contain them, and they never chip or scratch.
Zanpakuto Sense: He has the ability to sense the exact location of every Zanpakuto he has ever made, regardless of how or by whom it was acquired.
Sayafushi or "Sheath Dodger: It is a sword that Nimaiya forged that is incredibly sharp but whose forte is somewhat unstable because Nimaiya hasn't drawn it in a while. Sayafushi's blade is too sharp and its edge is too smooth, never chipping or scratching from use, and blood slides off it right away, according to Nimaiya. Because of this, it cannot be sheathed, so it falls short of the prerequisites of a sword.
5. Senjumaru Shutara aka Great Weave Guard
Rank: Divine General of the North - Zero Division 4th Officer
Creation/Invention: Unknown
Zanpakuto: Unknown
Senjumaru once said "Swift work is my biggest selling point, you understand. Do not underestimate the name of Senjumaru."

Unique skills or powers

Master Sewing: Senjumaru is an expert seamstress and has a keen aptitude for the craft. She developed the Ken Clothing, a unique outfit that enables its wearer to return safely to the Seireitei from the Soul King Palace. The Royal Guard's bones and hair were used to create these armour pieces, which have incredible defensive strength and enable the wearer to withstand the friction that results from piercing the 72 barriers separating Soul Society and the Soul King Palace without suffering any harm. She is known as "Senjumaru" because of her speedy work (1,000 Arms).
