Appearance


He has brown skin, yellow eyes and black edgy hair.
Kouyou wears a kuro colored uniform along with his captain’s haori.
One of his zanpaku-to are held on his left hip and the other on his back.
On his chest, under his kosode he has a scar that goes from his right shoulder to his left hip that he received from Aizen.
He also has a mask that is to show that he’s vizard.

Personality
Kouyou is usually a cool person. He’s also usually nice and friendly. He loves to be social, but doesn’t trust many people completely. He also likes a good fight if someone’s up for it, but doesn’t like to go at full power. At times when he becomes extremely mad, his spiritual energy sometimes overloads making him more powerful than usual. That alone makes him dangerous with or one or both of his zanpaku-to’s. Also when facing an enemy of the Soul Society, he becomes a cold and heartless killer.

History
Kouyou was born in a squad 4 hospital room. Both his parents were seated officers in separate squads. His dad in squad 11, and his mom in squad 4. His dad’s name was Tsugoyo Ryoken and his mom’s name was Aoi Ryoken.
While out on a mission, his mother was killed by hollows. Enraged, his father sought out revenge. Captain Rōjūrō Otoribashi (commonly referred to as Rose) was a close friend of Tsugoyo and stopped him by reminding him of his only child, Kouyou. The current captain of squad 11 volunteered to go with Tsugoyo on a hollow hunt. Before they went to Hueco Mundo, Tsugoyo got Kouyou into a gigai and sent him to the human world with only a name tag. Tsugoyo was killed by Menos and the captain retreated with his body. Kouyou grew up in Karakura Town two blocks from Ichigo with a man named Kai as his legal guardian. Kai ran a Kendo dojo. Kai taught Kouyou everything about Kendo. He also owned a weapons shop which Kouyou managed while Kai was at the dojo.
A few months later Kouyou began to see hollows and shinigami. One day on accident, Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya released his shinigami form. Not knowing what else to do, he forced Kouyou to go back to the Soul Society with him.

From them on, Kouyou was mentored by Captain Oukan Kouketsu. After obtaining his first zanpaku-to (Zero), Captain Oukan made Kouyou a seated officer in his squad. A year later, he gained another zanpaku-to (Zamito) and was made lieutenant of squad 17. Over the next two years Captain Oukan vanished, Kouyou became Captain by obtaining his Bankai only two months later. There is no record of when he obtained his second Bankai.
