Junichi Itō

Zanpakutō
Nihongo (日本号, Japanese Issue) is the name of Junichi's zanpakutō. It takes the form of a regular katana with a gray blade & a brown hilt. The crossguard is shaped like a octagon, and is black in color. It has a raised, rocky design, similar to someone touching a mountain. The sheath is a brown color. It is carried from a string wrapped around his belt in an iaidō style, and worn with the edge down like a tachi instead of the edge up like a katana. The end of the hilt has a red horse tassel. Additionally, there is a small slot in the sheath that can be pulled out to reveal a small container of spiritual energy that works like an energy boost.
