Kato Tsetsen

''"She who bore her soul." - Snakes''

"Failures are nothing more than stepping stones to success."

- Kato Tseten

Kato Tseten (永住加藤, Eijū Katō) is the former Captain of the 12th Division and known for many important inventions, but may be most famous for the one that sidelined her from active duty for many years. Thanks to that invention, a drug designed to help Soul Society women guarantee their children would be Shinigami in order to recover numbers lost, Kato ended up having ten children and was forced to retire to take care of them, and recover from the toll it too on her body. Now that her children are all active duty Shinigami, and she has fully recovered, she has returned to active duty. Since the initial Shadow invasion, she has taken a lieutenant's spot in the retooled 12th (now known as the 9th), and is slated to take over a captain's spot when she has returned to full power. Her partner is Addison Karhu, and she is the head of the --- Department.

Kato wears the blade tucked into the left side of her obi.
