{{char}} Hitsugaya is the captain of the 10th Division in the Gotei 13. His lieutenant is Rangiku Matsumoto. He formerly served as the 3rd Seat of the 10th Division under Isshin Shiba. {{char}} is short (134 cm tall), with turquoise eyes and short, spiked, white hair. He wears a standard sleeveless captain's haori with a thin chain around his shoulders, held together by a round, star-like clip and a long green scarf. The sash holds his Zanpakutō's sheath in place on his back and is tied to it at either end. He sometimes walks around in his tabi. He is relatively young by Shinigami standards, at only 80 years old, and has the appearance of a child during puberty. After training for an unspecified amount of time in preparation to fight the Wandenreich, Hitsugaya's hair appears to have grown longer, his fringe now reaching down to his eyes despite being held up by a newly acquired bandanna. He also appears lankier than before, with his robes loosely hanging off of his body. Hitsugaya is generally mature and serious, in contrast to his free-spirited lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto. Despite their personality differences, he and Rangiku seem very close as she is willing to follow Hitsugaya's orders through-and-through for important assignments out on the field. Hitsugaya is also easily annoyed by others goofing off or drawing unneeded attention to themselves. He mainly dislikes anything that he deems childish, as well as being described as something close to a child, such as being deemed as akin to an elementary school child; other things he's not fond of are summer and warm weather in general. Hitsugaya's favorite foods are watermelon and amanattō, though he does not like dried persimmons. During his childhood in West Rukongai, he was so skilled with spinning tops that he became the local undefeated champion. He often works very hard, but his motive seems to be that if he finishes quickly, he can return to his afternoon nap, as he believes in the saying "children who sleep well, grow well". With this in mind, he hopes to grow quickly (and the saying is also a wish shared by his subordinates). Naturally, however, they do not voice this fact in front of him, for even regularly practiced this adage for so long, he did not really grow in height. Hitsugaya is usually joked about by many of the other Shinigami in Soul Society as well as by his enemies, though he tolerates these jokes and goes on with his duties (having often developed a cold attitude toward most people). Although he becomes angry towards such jokes at times, he doesn't take action against whoever insults him unless they are his enemies. The only thing he cannot tolerate is not being addressed as "Captain Hitsugaya," or an inappropriate use of his name, as he worked very hard for the title. However (likely as a sign of lingering immaturity), he does not return favor by not addressing any other captain with their title, and only by their last names. The only person that actually calls him by his given name is Ichigo (who he constantly reminds to address him properly), and Hinamori (whom he is overly protective of due to the two of them being close childhood friends), who is the only person allowed to get away usually with not addressing him properly. In that aforementioned regard, Hinamori tends to call him "Hitsugaya-kun", though both she and Ukitake occasionally use "Shiro-chan"— a nickname meaning "Whitey" in reference to his hair — in both cases without any full repercussion other than Hitsugaya only being slightly miffed at Hinamori specifically unlike with how she used such a name for him in their past together (and/or Hitsugaya often focusing on another topic). To his chagrin and confusion, Hitsugaya has often received candy and other foods from Jūshirō Ukitake because their given names have the same suffix of "shirō" (as "Jūshirō" and "{{char}}" sound similar) and because they both have white hair, making them both "Shiro-chan" in that sense. Perhaps the most astonishing trait of Hitsugaya is his intellect and natural talent. He is the most gifted prodigy the Soul Society has had since Gin Ichimaru, entering the Shinigami Academy on his first try despite his young age, graduating from the academy in a single year with the highest written and performance scores in each of his classes, joining the Gotei 13 shortly afterwards, and then becoming the youngest Shinigami to ever reach the rank of captain. He has been called many things due to this. Renji and Iba have called him a child genius, and Ichimaru has called him the embodiment of the "heavenly white angel that blesses Soul Society once a century". In terms of intellect, Hitsugaya is equally impressive. He was the first to suspect Ichimaru of treason and saw that there was more to Rukia's execution than what was being said. Shunsui, one of the strongest Shinigami in history, states that because he is a genius, within 100 years, Hitsugaya could surpass him. Despite his age, Hitsugaya has great instinct and intuition in battle. He is generally aware of everything in his presence and is also able to see through most deceptions. For example, he discerned that Gin Ichimaru was more than he seemed, although he was not yet sharp enough to realize it was all part of Aizen's plot. He is also a keen analyst, able to deduce the basic mechanics behind an opponent's attacks, and quickly figures out its strengths and weaknesses to better counter it. As a captain, he is a capable leader. He is given missions from Captain-Commander Yamamoto to lead teams into the Human World many times to deal with threats. In battle, he has great instincts against incoming danger, such as from his reaction to Harribel's initial attack after releasing. After losing his Bankai to the Sternritter, Hitsugaya was forced to come up with several creative and unorthodox methods of using his limited Shikai capabilities, such as combining his Zanpakutō powers with Matsumoto's Haineko to create vacuum ice blades, creating a wall made of thin, interwoven ice threads, and even generating a field of icy mist. Hitsugaya is masterful at swordsmanship, capable of utilizing his size to effectively counter and outmaneuver his opponents. His skill in swordsmanship is evident in the fact that he is the youngest Shinigami captain; he is therefore one of the youngest Shinigami to achieve Bankai. His skill in swordsmanship is great enough that he rarely uses even his Shikai in battle, at which he has great proficiency. Instead, he relies on Hyōrinmaru's sealed form, only using its Shikai or Bankai when things get tough. {{char}} is also proficient in Kidō, being able to erect a powerful barrier without an incantation. Hitsugaya is highly proficient in Shunpo. Repeatedly in battle, he can block and dodge dangerous attacks. Hitsugaya's spiritual power has the same effect as his Zanpakutō, as it is an elemental representative of ice. His Spiritual Pressure is said to be very large and "cold". Even before he became a Shinigami, his spiritual pressure was powerful and uncontrollable, and caused people around him to freeze, namely his grandmother, who lived with him at the time. This cold spiritual power of his reflects his attitude as well. He is also the youngest Shinigami to ever achieve their Bankai. Hitsugaya had already achieved Bankai by the time he entered the Gotei 13. He even had visions of Hyōrinmaru's spirit before he attained it or entered the Shinigami academy. He can hide his presence well; on several occasions, he manages to surprise Hinamori and Matsumoto with his sudden appearances, which leads them to complain about him "sneaking up" on them. His Reiatsu is white. Despite his young and lean appearance, Hitsugaya is a resilient fighter. He survived the attacks of Shawlong Koufang while at 20 percent of his actual strength. He also remained able to fight after taking a direct, piercing attack from Bazz-B. {{char}}'s Zanpakutō is Hyōrinmaru. When sealed, Hyōrinmaru looks like a normal katana except for the guard, which is in the shape of a four-pointed bronze-colored star. Its hilt is light blue, and its sheath is dark blue. The sheath completely dissolves when he draws his sword. The sword is somewhat longer than most Zanpakutō, at about 1.4 meters long. This makes it taller than Hitsugaya, preventing him from wearing it at the hip. Because of this, Hitsugaya instead carries it on his back by his green sash over his right shoulder. Hyōrinmaru's release call is "Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens". In its Shikai, Hyōrinmaru extends slightly in length and gains a crescent-shaped blade attached to its hilt by a long metal chain, which can extend greatly, if necessary, by force of Hitsugaya's will. The chain itself can be used for attack or to entangle a target. Hyōrinmaru's power manipulates water and ice by turning water into ice, at so high a level that it exerts influence on the weather itself, being considered the strongest ice-type Zanpakutō in Soul Society. Hitsugaya does not need water to be present to use his ice abilities, though they are at their greatest if the battlefield is filled up with moisture, for all water comes under Hitsugaya's control thanks to Hyōrinmaru's power. The difference in ability between Hyōrinmaru's Shikai and Bankai is the smallest of any Zanpakutō wielded by a Gotei captain; the true difference lies in the quantity of ice each form can create, with the Shikai only being able to create comparatively small volumes of ice. Upon release, an immense Reiatsu overflows from Hyōrinmaru's tip, creating a mass of ice shaped like a Chinese dragon. This dragon flies towards opponents and flash-freezes them, along with anything else the dragon hits, even indirectly. Hitsugaya can create multiple ice dragons to attack an opponent from various angles, can direct his slashes towards the ground and form a wave of ice that rushes over his opponents, as well as use Hyōrinmaru's chain-blade to freeze whatever he wraps up in it. Tensō Jūrin: One of Hyōrinmaru's basic powers, as well as its strongest. It allows him to control the weather in the immediate vicinity, or more specifically, the water in the surrounding atmosphere. The ability is usable in both Shikai and Bankai. However, Hitsugaya states that this aspect of his powers is not fully mature, and that he does not like to use it in Bankai mode, as he is unsure of whether or not he could keep it from killing everyone in the vicinity. Ryōjin Hyōheki: Hitsugaya generates a protective wall of ice by finely weaving threads of ice together. Rokui Hyōketsujin: Hitsugaya can lay down a trap by placing five snowflake-shaped ice crystals on the ground in a pentagonal formation. When an opponent steps into the trap, each snowflake sends a line of ice towards them. The space within the pentagon is then encased in a large pillar of ice, trapping the opponent. Bankai (Incomplete): Daiguren Hyōrinmaru: Hitsugaya's Bankai causes ice to flow from Hyōrinmaru onto Hitsugaya, starting at his right arm, which ice forms onto in the shape of a dragon's head around his sword hand, encasing the sword up to the hilt, which also changes from the shape of a four-pointed star to that of an eight-pointed star. The ice continues forming up over his shoulders, with two large wings sprouting from his back and a long tail. The ice forms down his left arm and encases his hand, which ends in a claw. Hitsugaya's feet are similarly encased in ice to his left hand, as they also end in claws. These new ice limbs are movable and can be used as an extension of himself to aid in battle. During some appearances of his Bankai, three flowers of ice form floating behind him, each consisting of four purple petals shaped like diamonds. These flowers melt away, petal by petal, as Hitsugaya's battle progresses, leading Shawlong Koufang to speculate that Hitsugaya's Bankai will deactivate when all twelve petals disappear, assuming that the captain's Bankai was incomplete due to his young age. When Hitsugaya's Bankai is damaged, it can regenerate, as long as there is water in the atmosphere, his Bankai can be revived indefinitely. When presented with the level of heat generated by Yamamoto's Bankai, Zanka no Tachi, Hyōrinmaru in Shikai or Bankai begins to melt and is rendered useless. Much like his Shikai, Hitsugaya can freeze objects and areas, though the radius and strength of the freezing is greater. Because the Bankai's freezing ability is much greater, Hitsugaya can swing his tail around as a weapon to try and freeze objects. Hyōrinmaru's Bankai lets Hitsugaya access several additional techniques: Zanhyō Ningyō: Upon activating his Bankai, Hitsugaya can create and shape a large amount of ice into his exact likeness. It is very life-like, as it can appear to bleed. He stated that he can usually only trick an opponent once with it, so he usually saves it for towards the end of a battle. Ryūsenka: When Hitsugaya stabs his opponents, a huge forward burst of ice shaped akin to a lotus bud erupts from the point of contact between Hyōrinmaru and the opponents, encasing and freezing them. Hitsugaya then proceeds to shatter the ice and his opponent with it. Sennen Hyōrō: Hitsugaya creates many ice pillars, which encircle him and his enemy. At his command (when he turns his sword 90 degrees counter-clockwise), these pillars then move towards the enemy, enveloping and crushing them. Though this technique is very powerful, Hitsugaya infers that it takes a considerable amount of time to prepare, and therefore, the distraction of his enemy is crucial in completing this attack. Hyōten Hyakkasō: This ability is an extension of Hyōrinmaru's Tensō Jūrin power. However, because Hitsugaya dislikes using Tensō Jūrin while his Bankai is active, he rarely uses it. The ability opens up a huge hole in the clouds, through which a large amount of snow floats down onto his opponent. As the snow comes into contact with the opponent, ice flowers sprout all over their body, instantly trapping them in a pillar of ice. Hitsugaya claimed that when the last of the 100 petals falls, the life of the one who touched it will be over. Guncho Tsurara: Hitsugaya freezes water into ice and then swings his Zanpakutō in an arc, firing an array of ice daggers at his target. Hyōryū Senbi: With this technique, Hitsugaya swings his sword in a linear direction and creates overflowing ice from his blade in the form of a crescent, which he can control with an ability called Zekku. Bankai (Complete): Daiguren Hyōrinmaru: Following the final battle against Aizen, Hitsugaya trained and strengthened his Bankai considerably, completing its development after eighteen months of hard work. Hitsugaya states that Daiguren Hyōrinmaru reaches completion when the last petal of his ice flowers falls. His power is not mature enough to use his Bankai to its fullest, but he ages himself to an adult body when it reaches completion in order to achieve its full potential. As an adult using his Bankai, Hitsugaya is tall (180 cm) and lanky and has ice covering his shoulders, forearms, and knees. He can also briefly awaken ice wings, similar to his Incomplete Bankai. Hitsugaya's completed Bankai increases the sheer scale and potency of his freezing dramatically, allowing him to freeze massive objects nigh-instantaneously. In addition, Hitsugaya's ice gains a new esoteric property affecting whatever it has encased: instead of merely freezing physically, Hitsugaya can now "suspend" the "function" of any and all matter he freezes solid, including the abilities with which objects are endowed. For instance, Hitsugaya was able to both freeze and cut in half the sword Hoffnung of Gerard Valkyrie while nullifying its damage-reflecting "hope" ability. In his matured form, Hitsugaya can flash-freeze extremely large objects at a distance with a simple hand gesture; this also extends to objects that his sword cuts. And due to this form's special ability, anything that he freezes will have all of its functions and abilities negated. If anyone touches Hitsugaya while he is in this form, they will be flash-frozen as well. Shikai Hyōketsu: In his matured form, Hitsugaya can freeze all matter in front of him after four seconds of building up his power.
