Name: Kazunari, Kago (Eastern Order)
Age: Appears 25 (Actual Age: 107)
Division/Seat: 8th Division / Acting Captain
Persona:
Physical Stature:
Standing at 5'11" and weighing 175 pounds, Kago appears no taller than any average male. The shinigami keeps his light brown hair cut just shy of his shoulders and allows it to grow in its own natural direction (slightly outward). His face is elongated and kept clean shaven. He has piercing emerald eyes, which have been known to soothe the pure hearted and to strike fear into the immoral.
While wearing his shinigami attire, he appears to be slender; however, underneath his clothes lies a muscularly built body. His body contains minimal scars due to his expert swordfighting. Although the balanced shinigami believes that the body is perfect in its untainted form, he has the Japanese symbol Gi (rectitude) tattooed on the back of his left hand. This symbol serves as a reminder to take the righteous path, even when it is the most difficult one. Instead of the traditional white sash as a belt, Kago wears a silver sash tied in a elegant, yet simple knot.
Biography:
Appearing in Rukongai, the lost and confused Kago was forced to wander the streets alone. Many years later, he was taken in by an older man named Yujo after collapsing from hunger. The old man recognized this as a sign of one with a strong reiatsu signature and began instructing him on the ways of the sword and philosophies of the world. Once the emerald eyed youth was prepared for the hardships that came with being a shinigami, Yujo helped him apply for the academy.
During his time in the academy, Kago made friends with two other students, Yamada Rika and Saruwatari Takumi. Training and fighting alongside them create strong bonds between the trio, bonds that could not be broken in his mind.
After graduating from the academy, he was immediately welcomed into the thirteenth division of the Gotei. There he made many strong bonds with his fellow division members. Regrettably, his entrance was quickly followed by orders to prepare for war. Many men lost their lives, leaving a vacancy in the Gotei's leadership. Acknowledging this gap, he applied for the First Division and was accepted after a grueling test.
Immediately after joining, Kago encountered one of the most mentally scarring events of his personal life: the death of his close friend Rika at the hands of Naitou Shigure and Saruwatari Takumi. Although he was able to capture and sever the soul sleep of Shigure, Takumi remained at large.
During his time with the First Division, Kago trained by various legendary warriors of the Gotei: Sayis Inuzuri, Gabriel Faust XIII, Moira Murray, Louhi Kaiho, Leon Valiente Simeon , Katsuji Ishin, Ritoru Furousha, and Arcadian Kyuu. Putting to use the lessons learned from all his training, he battled alongside the Soutaichou of time, Gabriel Faust XIII, and Louhi Kaiho against Seisatsu Kuragari in Hueco Mundo. Shortly after they ended the threat, Faust and Louhi lost their lives protecting the entire Soul Society.
Still reeling from the numerous losses of the war, Kago was summoned by the head of the Takimoto household, Akio, to protect his daughter Sophia. In course of his duty, he stumbled across the knowledge that Katsuo, Akio's brother, was poisoning Sophia's younger brother Liam in order to usurp the title of head of the Takimoto clan from Akio. Preventing Katsuo from poisioning Sophia, Kago revealed the perpetrator and forced him from the grounds. Throughout the endeavor, he also grew closer to Sophia and finally wed her in a small, intimate ceremony after saving the Takimoto bloodline.
His new life as a Takimoto was short lived as he was appointed Captain of the Twelfth division and forced to lead his division into war on Earth. While performing his duties, Kago was captured by his old ally Takumi Saruwatari, Katsuo Takimoto, and a third, unknown assailant and held captive while his comrades in arms risked their lives. Due to his disappearance, the Gotei deemed his actions as a dereliction of duty and stripped him from his rank as captain.
In hopes to restore his honor, Kago asked Anenokoji Senesati to join the Eighth Divison and was appointed vice-captain shortly after joining. Assuming his role of vice-captain, he trained with Senesati to learn the ways of the spellsword and improve his weak kidou abilities. During this training period, chaod errupted on several fronts: Hueco Mundo, the Central Forty-Six's Chambers, and Tokyo. Seeing how the first two locations had shinigami reinforcements, the nobleman rushed to defend the city. The vice-captain of the tenth Lilith Maikeru arrived with him and their combined power allowed them to slow the enemy's advance; however, much of the city was destroyed and the Vizard left on his own, leaving a warning for all shinigami to leave the realm of the living alone.

Name: Kazunari, Kago (Eastern Order)
Age: Appears 25 (Actual Age: 107)
Division/Seat: 8th Division / Acting Captain
Persona:
Upon graduation from the academy, Kago was a wide eyed, idealistic shinigami who only desired to be great and do incredible deeds for the world of the living. Always courteous and respectful to those around him, he saw the world for all the righteousness that was in it and that good could be done for it. Unfortunately, the world of a shinigami and warrior was not a flowery path for the youth.
The road his life traveled brought him much despair and hardship. Despite the reality of the world smacking him in the face, Kago continued to hold strongly onto his dream for a better world. Knowing that his dream cannot come to life without action, Kago is in a constant state of motion. Whether it is honing his skills, learning and developing new ideas for tactics, or researching more about his adversaries, he is constantly on the move.
Due to his ideals, Kago is known as kind and courteous person, even though he often finds himself referring to individuals by their first names. He strongly believes in the unity principle: that the Gotei is only as strong as its weakest link. Instead of belittling and condemning them, he continously strives to train and improve those around him, in an effort to usher in an age of prosperity that the Gotei once knew.
For this reason, he also views people who disrespect for their comrades as trash and does not show them any level of respect.
