Matsura Ryoko ( Ryoko Matsura)

Equipment

 * Shakonmaku Kaisei (遮魂膜改正 Soul-Warding Membrane Revision) is one of the many modifications and additions that Taiga has contributed to Soul Society. It is operated primarily in his own barracks, and is managed by the various Seated Officers of his Division in a specific order. It is an extensive revision of the concept of the Shakonmaku, the barrier which surrounds the Soul Society. Utilzing his knowledge within Kidō and spiritual energy, attained through his sister and inquisitivity, Taiga has been able to extend the concept of the Shakonmaku by leaps and bounds. First and foremost, the barrier surrounds not only the Seireitei, but it also travels across the Rukongai. Secondly; it is interlaced with a variety of smaller barriers for particular areas which hold much importance to the Soul Society, including the Research and Development Center. Additionally; utilizing the concept of Kidō, he is capable of strengthening the barrier at any time, preventing the entry of possible criminals. Furthermore; the Kidō also acts as an alarm, and once triggered, he is capable of sending out a powerful to warn the entirety of Soul Society of a breach. Finally; he has shown to possess an innate level of manipulation over the barrier from his own office, digitally materializing it and assigning specific individuals to different areas for the maximum level of protection.


 * Senjin Denreishinki (千仞伝令神機 Boundless Divine Messenger Machine) another modification to one of Soul Society's various equipment. The is a communication device that is capable of traversing the distance from Soul Society and the Human World, project a radar on Hollow's spiritual energies and other functions very useful to a Shinigami. The Senjin Denreishinki appears to be exclusive to Taiga's own use, as it was an entirely accidental experiment. Though this particular Denreishinki is capable of all the functions that a normal one has, this also has the ability to completely remove the space-time between the Soul Society and any other dimension in existence once it has been made contact with. For this reason; Taiga has given every one of his Division members, other Captains and Lieutenants his Denreishinki number so he may provide assistance to them as immediately as needed. Such removal of space-time appears to be a result of the spiritual power of the  and  spell, which was absorbed by the initial Denreishinki he experimented on after giving it a medium to absorb spiritual power in the atmosphere, for another effect entirely. However; this experiment, as noted by Taiga, gives him the ability to traverse across space-time without the assistance of the,  or , thus he uses this method frequently for sampling.


 * Ukiyogatari (浮き世語 Story of the Transient Life) the most secretive invention of Taiga's. Taiga remarks that this is a set of hidden weapons that are created through methods that are "unwanted within Soul Society." After defying the laws of Soul Society, Taiga was capable of coming in contact with the Fullbringers of the Human World. With their knowledge of Soul Manipulation, Taiga was capable of reproducing such an effect through the assistance of spiritual alteration. The guards of these small blades are created with unique technology that helps to magnetically attract free reishi, using a spiritual core as a basis to do so. Thus, with the capacity of soul manipulation, Taiga was capable of crafting unique blades that were able to emulate the processes of the environment surrounding them through the weaving of the very environment around the weapon in question. This then caused Taiga's ambushes to be far more successful, causing Taiga to employ these as an initial means of debilitation before other methods come into play.
 * Kidōgamaguchi (鬼道蝦蟇口 Pouch of the Demon Way) an unique invention created through the assistance of his sister. Unknowingly, Midori had passed down the knowledge that Kidō could be placed within what he called "sigils" that were capable of erupting the effects of spells with a simple surge of spiritual energy. Taiga decided to use this to his own advantage; using his inquisitive nature and subsequent access to the records of the Kidō Corps, Taiga had been able to designate specific sigils according to the spells employed. He would commonly place these spells in small orbs, which were all placed in a spiritually bound bag that rejected all spiritual essences through its construction via Sekki-sekki dust. As a consequence, whenever opened, Taiga is able to cause extreme surprise to his opponents as he bombards them with a multitude of unexpected binding and destruction spells with very little.
