Chūkin Komamura

Chūkin Komamura (狛村 忠勤, Komamura Chūkin) is a former Shinigami of the who is now teamed up with Raian Getsueikirite in the.

Appearance
Chūkin is an anthropomorphic wolf, and is somehow related to, the former captain of the 7th Division. Unlike Sajin Komamura, however, he has never been self-conscious about his canine appearance. He is the tallest member of his team, towering hight above all of them. His fur is jet black in color, which the same color as his gloves; his beard, however, is grey. He also wears shoulder pads similar to Sajin over his haori, which seems to be only a decoration, not a signal of his former rank, and large, plated black boots instead of sandals.

Personality
Known for his great strength, bravery and loyalty, Chūkin Komamura often served as the group's conscience in their endeavors as Shinigami. He is also known, however, for his incredible stubbornness and dislike of losing whether it be in battle or at a simple game of shogi. He is also a very shy person of few words, preferring to let team's leader, Raian, do most of the big talking or negotiations. He is very protective of the young Shinigami, and has stated that he would sacrifice himself for him without hesitation. As mentioned before, an important trait of Komamura’s is his loyalty, and a strong sense of honor and tradition, as shown by his dedication to his teammates and to Soul Society, despite no longer being in the. Chūkin also maintains keeping his past life secret from even those he trusts most, as he finds it painful to discuss and share.

Like Sajin Komamura, Chūkin also appears to have a low opinion of himself, particularly his looks. When asked by Raian if he could help him with a problem, Komamura expressed his belief that he would be of little use – unless, of course, he needed someone threatened or a door bashed open. In contrast to his relative, though, Chūkin has shown himself to be extremely aggressive and angry when his temper is set off. Komamura is also shown to be one of the more intelligent characters in his group, as well as one of the most serious, rarely exhibiting humor. When he does so, his humor is very dry. He does, however, enjoy mocking his enemies.

Powers & Abilities


He is easily able to compete with more humanoid Shinigami, as they are smaller than him and his strength usually surpasses their own. He has shown the ability to kill with only his fists; and one punch at that.

Immense Strength: Due to his size and build, he is incredibly strong and can bring down most foes with one or two blows. His strength makes it easy for him to threaten someone and he often makes the joke that if his teammates come across a locked door, he could simply bash it down for them. He can easily lift twice his weight, though the limits of his strength are currently unknown.

Enhanced Senses: Because of his animal-likeness, he is seemingly in possession of superior senses.

Animal Communication: It is also known that he is able to talk to animals.



Enough so to keep up with captain-level opponents.
