Name:
Toshiro Hitsugaya
Age:
112, appearance now of about 17 years old.
Gender:
Male
Race:
Shinigami
Weapon:
Hitsugaya's zanpakutō is Hyōrinmaru
Personal and Weapon Abilities info:
Hyōrinmaru's shikai command is translated in the English anime as "sit upon the frosted heavens" or "reign over the frozen heavens" ( sōten ni zase?). Hyōrinmaru is the strongest of all ice element zanpakutō in Soul Society. Hyōrinmaru's spirit is a large, winged, Chinese dragon. Hyōrinmaru allows Hitsugaya to control water and ice. The slashes created by Hyōrinmaru gives off an immense amount of spirit power which overflows from the tip of the blade, creating a flow of ice vaguely shaped like Hyōrinmaru's dragon spirit. The dragon flies at opponents and instantly freezes anything it touches. The chain-blade also freezes anything Hitsugaya traps with it Hyōrinmaru's bankai, named Daiguren Hyōrinmaru ( literally "great crimson lotus ice ring"), causes ice to flow from Hyōrinmaru onto Hitsugaya, forming into two large wings, a tail, guards over his feet in the shape of dragon claws, and twelve large flower petals. During one of Hitsugaya's earlier battles, the arrancar Shawlong speculates that Hitsugaya's bankai will fade when all twelve petals disappear and that Hitsugaya's bankai is incomplete due to his young age. Later during his fight with Luppi, Hitsugaya states that "even if Hyōrinmaru is shattered, it will reform as long as there is water present.
Hyōrinmaru's bankai has four known special techniques. The first is Ryūsenka (literally "dragon hail flower"), which freezes any enemy Hitsugaya stabs, locking them into a cocoon of ice and freezing them to the core. Once frozen, Hitsugaya can shatter his opponent. The second is Sennen Hyōrō (literally "thousand-year ice prison"), which forms a multitude of ice pillars using the moisture in the atmosphere. These pillars hold the enemy prisoner for a thousand years, also freezing them. His third technique, Guncho Tsurara (literally "icicle flock"), he launches a multitude of ice shards in an attempt to impale his opponent. His fourth, and implied most powerful move is called Hyoten Hyakkaso (literally "frozen sky-hundred flowers funeral"). This attack causes 100 snow flakes to fall from the sky, freezing anything they touch in a flower like shape. When all 100 flakes fall, the life of the one trapped by the attack is over.
Character Bio:
Hitsugaya's early life was spent in Junrinan, District 1 of Rukongai. There he lived with his grandmother and Momo Hinamori. As a child, Hitsugaya had an icy demeanor that estranged himself from others, with the exception of his grandmother and Hinamori. The three were very close, and Hitsugaya was irritated when Hinamori left to join the Soul Reaper academy. Throughout his childhood, he was always aware of what seemed to be an icy presence within himself and had continuous dreams about a plane of ice. Five years after Hinamori's departure, Hitsugaya encountered Rangiku Matsumoto, then a normal, unranked Soul Reaper, in a marketplace, when she stood up to a merchant who left his change on the counter, rather than handing it to him. That night, Hitsugaya dreamt again of the icy plain and finally met Hyōrinmaru for the first time, though he could not hear the spirit's name. He woke up to find Rangiku admonishing him for not being able to control his power, which had been freezing his grandmother. She told him that power like his needed to be controlled, and convinced him to become a Soul Reaper. With Hitsugaya's natural talent, he entered the Soul Reaper academy in spite of his age and became known as a prodigy, quickly ascending to captain of the 10th Division, ironically making him Rangiku's superior.
during the 14th Squad's Revolution he was actually killed in battle against the squad's 5th Seat, Doki Tanoshimi, who happens to be the current Lieutenant of the First Division. His division was blown up, and Doki infiltrated, posing as an injured shinigami, and systematically slaughtered anyone who came to help her before they realized she was an enemy. Hitsugaya also fell into that trap, but survived long enough to release his Bankai. Doki was too much for him and she ended up killing him in battle. She severed his ear and took a clump of his hair, and left his body. When Aizen had been defeated by Ikkimaru and Nagaharu and the attack on Las Noches was finished, Ikkimaru arranged for Orihime to bring Hitsugaya back to life using the preserved ear and clump of hair. Amazingly it worked, and he was given his choice on whether or not he would join the 14th Squad in their revolution. He chose not to, spitting at the fact that those who killed him now wanted him to join them. They left him in Hueco Mundo with no way back other than an extended offer through Hallibel (who had joined forces with the 14th Squad after suffering defeat at Nagaharu's hand). Hallibel was his way back to Soul Society, and now he's finally decided to check in on them and return to claim his seat as Captain.
Additional Info: (PERSONALITY) -> Hitsugaya is generally mature and serious, although he can sometimes be short-tempered and irritable. Hitsugaya is shown to also be easily irked by others goofing off or drawing unneeded attention to themselves, as shown when he led a team of Soul Reapers into Ichigo Kurosaki's school. He hates anything that he deems childish and hates being described as something close to a child. Hitsugaya's intuition is extremely sharp, and he is the first person to correctly suspect Gin Ichimaru of foul play, though he understandably did not suspect Sōsuke Aizen of the same. He is very protective of Momo Hinamori, due to the fact that they were old childhood friends, promising to kill those who harm her.
