Appearance
Takeshi is a young man, seemingly in his late teens, possessing a handsome appearance. Gifted with fair skin and chiseled features, Takeshi could be considered extraordinary in looks. His auburn hair is neatly cut, leaving a slight widow's peak and sideburns; his thin eyebrows are kinked as well. His also possesses piercing golden eyes. Despite being a Captain, Takeshi rarely, if ever, is seen wearing his haori.

Zanpakutō
Inabikari (稲光, "Flash of Lightning") is the name of Takeshi's Zanpakutō. When sealed, it takes the form of an ordinary katana.

Shikai:

Shikai Special Ability: Takeshi's Zanpakutō revolves around the manipulation of lightning. The lightning he manifests is of a crimson colour; and it is hinted to possess slight fire capabilities. However, it's true aspect lies in what it does upon being shot forth from his blade. Once released from his sword, Takeshi's lightning becomes infused with his spiritual energy, gaining heat-seeking properties. Because of this, it chases down his foe, no matter how far away they are—even turning and moving at impossible angles to achieve it's mission no matter what. As it darts through the atmosphere, it becomes faster and faster by resonating with the stray spiritual particles, which are absorbed and added onto the bolt, gaining power and speed. However, once the bolt has become too powerful, the spiritual energy will disperse and it will revert to it's regular speed.
 * Hōtengeki (方天戟, "Heavenward Halberd"): Raising his blade into the sky, Takeshi swings his katana in a circle, releasing a discharge of crimson lightning which, by using his spiritual energy molds itself into a large lance formed from pure lightning. This lance possesses far more power than a regular lightning bolt, and it's properties are drastically enhanced. Spinning the lance in a circle to draw in more spiritual energy, Takeshi then launches it at his foe at high speeds; it is capable of piercing through many mid-to-low level Kidou barriers and defenses in order to reach it's target. Upon impact, it inflicts piercing penetrating damage, before dissipating.
 * Kaminari Den (神鳴殿, "Thunder Palace"): Takeshi thrusts Inabikari upwards, causing scarlet lightning to shoot into the skies, before crashing down in midair in the form of a dozen or so sphere of scarlet lightning in a circular formation. These orbs watch over the ensuing chaos, so to speak, gathering and absorbing stray spiritual energy which is emitted by the fierce clash of attacks. After a certain time limit, the orbs unleash their might at once, in the form of a ferocious hail of thunderbolts which target indiscriminately. This is Inabikari's most powerful technique; though it requires time and careful preparation to be set up properly.
