Height/Weight: [5’10/175 Lbs]

Physical Description: Dark hair, but icy blue eyes, these are what most people think when they see Yato. He is tall, standing at around 5 ft 10 in. though this doesn’t mean he is built in a bulky manner, no Kosuke has lean muscle. Far from rippling, and not very attention catching, but they serve their purpose. His skin is pale, betraying the sheltered life he was forced to live, away from the violence the Rukon district will convey. His shoulders are not broad, adding to his rather lean appearance.

His face is narrow, seeming to fit along with his lanky form. He doesn’t have very high or pronounced cheek bones, but they are there. His almond shaped eyes house a shining blue iris, one that betrays his best attempts at hiding his emotions. Usually when one looks into his eyes, they will see mirthful orbs, full of life and joy. But, on rare occasions during combat, his opponents will find an icy gaze that may freeze them in their tracks. And lastly, the unluckiest opponents receive a glare that is solely reserved for those who harm those Yato cares for. This glare will set your soul on fire, if looks could kill, this would murder your entire race.

A soft, content smile usually graces those in the presence of Yato. While he has suffered some in his life, he wants nothing more than to relish life’s happy moments. While when he is annoyed, a scowl could show itself, this is usually replaced by a neutral annoyed look though. And finally, for those who truly piss him off, Yato shows a deep, hard scowl. This goes along with his angry glare quite… uh... angrily. Yato’s body is home to many scars showing the years of combat tempered marks that symbolize learning, improving and mistakes.

His face is framed by onyx black hair, his bangs fall down covering his forehead. He has a thin nose, and also very slender fingers. Though he is not overly built, he has been training for many years and has a muscular chest and back, along with a slight six pack. His most powerful muscle though, would have to be his legs, it seems he was simply made for speed.

Yato has a few different outfits from his many years of travel. Though his most common one would be a black gi with a mesh undershirt, covered by a dark hooded cloak. The cloak is black on the outside, but a rich red on its inside, its bottom is tattered showing many years of travel and even combat. It has a few tears but nothing too strenuous. Yato also wears a necklace with a single magatama on it. He usually keeps his Zanpakutō strapped to his back.

His other common outfit is used solely for training. It consists of short black pants that come down to just above the ankles, white socks and black sandals. He has a black long sleeve shirt, but he ties it around his waist, in order to be freer in his movements. He also feels like it looks cool, so that’s what he wears.

His body has many scars, mostly on his back and chest. He has a few along his arms, but nothing too major. His most prominent scar is from where the hollow stabbed him in his heart. It appears as an ugly, jagged scar right in the center of his chest. He also has a couple tattoos. His most prominent ones are located on each shoulder, and are merely tribal based tattoo designs. But he has another one right at the back of his neck, just below his hairline, it is the kanji for light.

Dislikes: Bullies, Losing, Weak Opponents, Sour Food

Likes: Fighting, Learning new things, Meeting new people, Winning, Spicy and Sweet Food.

Flaws: His biggest flaw is arrogance and being too prideful in combat. He will often underestimate his opponents or refuse to attack them if their backs are turned or they aren’t ready.

Habits: He has a habit of cracking his knuckles or slamming his fist into his palm before a fight.

Fears: Spiders, Snakes, Death

Goals: His goal is to become the strongest Shinigami and to be the Captain of the First Division and then maybe one day the Commander!

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Overall Personality: Yato is a team player when he needs to be, but he also has no problems with flying solo. He finds that sometimes he is able to do things faster without having to rely on any allies. When put into a leadership position he always tries to do what is best for his subordinates, taking care of them as best he can. Yato likes to engage in close-quarters combat.

He is usually reliant on his skills with Zanjutsu and Tengetsu's abilities. If he faces a stronger opponent, he usually tries to take it seriously and focus on getting through the fight. When facing an opponent of equal strength, he often tries to enjoy the battle, even if it is one among enemies, he will relish in the challenge. He dislikes fighting those weaker than himself, for the sole reason that he dislikes those who take advantage of their power over others. If he is to fight a friend, whether it is to the death or just a friendly spar, his attitude towards the fight depends on not only the situation, but the friend whom he is battling.

Birthplace: Rukongai [75th District]

Current Residence: Seireitei

History: It was around three hundred years ago, Kagome and Ryuuko met. Ryuuko was a Shinigami, he held no seat, but he was a member of the 1st division. He and his family lived in the 75th district of the Rukongai in the soul society. They often had to fight off people who thought they were better off since Ryuuko was a Shinigami, but they were able to hold off most intruders. While both Ryuuko and Kagome were skilled in martial arts and had a rather powerful spiritual energy, their son Yato had much more than they were expecting. Ryuuko decided that he wanted to train Yato the moment he was able, to both be able to defend his family and to one day become a Shinigami as well. Kagome hated the idea, as she viewed the occupation as dangerous and fool hardy. It wasn’t long after Yato was born that Ryuuko was sent on a mission from which he never returned. During their time of mourning, the two of them rarely left their home. Yato grew up kind of isolated due to his mother’s fear of him wanting to become a Shinigami.  

                   After around 10 years, Yato had been attacked by some thugs that were common in the area they lived in. After this attack, Kagome decided to tell Yato the truth about his father and began to teach him some basic martial arts and Kenjutsu. She trained him for five years, on the fifth year, her greatest fear came true, he wanted to become a Shinigami. So, he went to the Shinigami Academy in order to take the entrance exams. The exams were difficult, but he managed to pass and was placed in the 5th class. Upon entering the academy, Kosuke is given an Asauchi to use throughout his time in his classes. He spent every waking moment studying the various katas, Kido, Zanjutsu stances, and history that was put in front of him. He wanted to be able to protect those precious to him to the best of his ability.

                 Six years after he started the Academy, he graduated at near the top of his class. He was given his Asauchi, which was now a Zanpakuto, and was then assigned to the 20th seat position in the 1st division. He worked closely with his new friends and teammates to grow stronger in order to protect his family. For the next twenty years, he went on missions and trained with his new squad, they felt like they could take on the world. Yato’s mother even went back to the academy and was placed on his division. She was placed at the 25th seat however, due to her age and skill level.

                  One day, Yato, his mother and one other team member were sent to hunt down and purify  two hollows that had been hunting in the human world. It was moving like clockwork. He would dash in, distract them. Kidomaru would follow up with a powerful attack and finally his mother would throw some Kido at them. But one of the hollows attacked their resident long-range fighter. This caught them all off guard, and Kosuke couldn’t do anything to stop the attack that ended his mother’s life. Sent into a blind fury, Yato attacked the hollow with all of his worth. Effectively killing it, but not before it was able to pierce his chest with one of its claws. This served to fill Yato with its spirit, cursing him with horrible nightmares and a permanent reminder of his failure.

After that mission, Yato would despise and hate hollows with a burning passion. While most Shinigami will kill a hollow if they come across one, he would go out of his way to eradicate them if they are nearby. He will never forgive them for ripping his mother away from him. So, he trained, and trained, and trained. Yato lived, spoke, and breathed training. He wanted nothing more than to gain the power to destroy every last hollow, to keep them from taking any more of the people he cared for. He trained like that for two hundred years, learning new styles of martial arts and training with his blade. It was after this he was able to meditate and find a moment of peace.

Base Ability: Heat Manipulation - Kosuke is able to control the heat his body puts out and the heat around him in the immediate area to a degree. He can raise and lower his own heat output and obviously his body is immune and has adapted to this change. He can control the heat in a small area around him to make it feel like a sweltering summer day, or removing all heat to make it feel like the most frigid winter. This is done by his ability to control heat using his spirit energy.

Shikai: Tengetsu
Shikai Appearance:

Spoiler:

Shikai Release Phrase: “Gyakusatsu, TENGETSU!” (“Slaughter, Heavenly Moonlight”)
Shikai Ability: Enhanced Heat and Light manipulation- Using light manipulation, Kosuke can enhance his heat control to another level. Using light blasts or waves as a transferring method, he can greatly change the heat concentration of objects or people caught in the blast. From enough heat to melt most metals (not zanpakutos) to almost no heat enough to freeze most objects and parts of people.

Bankai: Kurai Tengetsu
Bankai Appearance:

Spoiler:

Bankai Release Phrase: “BANKAI!”
Bankai Ability:
Black Flame Wave- This attack takes the form of a flaming black wave of light. It holds the most heat of any attack of Kosuke's. It can and will melt any and all metal it comes into contact with and it causes second degree burns to anyone who is unlucky enough to get caught in it.

White Flame Wave- This attack takes the form of a white, flaming slash of light. It has zero heat inside of it and therefore will flash freeze anything it comes into contact with. This is not only excruciatingly painful, but also can cause 50% movement loss of any limbs effected even after you break the ice or thaw them out.
