Shunsui Kyōraku (Seireitou)

"Getting caught up in style and throwing away victory is something for the civilians to do. Shinobi can't even think about doing such a carefree thing. Don't try to be a good guy. It doesn't matter who owes who. From the instant they enter into a war, both sides are evil."

- Kyōraku speaking to Seijin Initiates


 * "If it's me, it would be a waste not to dance no matter what." - Tito Kubo

Shunsui Kyōraku (京楽 春水, Kyouraku Shunsui), sometimes romanized as Syunsui Kyōraku, is the former Captain of the Eighth Division. Upon being eventually chosen for promotion to the Zero Division, Shunsui prefered to seek somewhere that wasn't bound by the biased laws of the Soul Society. He was then given the title of Master rank upon entry, landing him a position in the Seijin Council.
