Rikuri Ukitake

Rikuri Suigyoku (陸離翠玉, Suigyoku Rikuri; Literally meaning "Dazzling Emerald") is a member of the Fifth Division, claiming the 6th seat.

Zanpakutō
Kirameki (煌めき, Sparkle) is the Zanpakutō of Rikuri Suigyoku. It is classified as a Light-Type Zanpakutō under the elemental category. In it's sealed form, Kirameki is slightly longer than an ordinary katana, and resembles a Nodachi (野太刀, field sword). The blade is kept sheathed in it's scabbard, known as a Saya (鞘) at Rikuri's waist when not in use. Akin to the personality of it's wielder, the sword portrays an overall lustrous appearance, quite decorative when compared to most others. Aside from a very glamorous blade, of which is said to have been manifested from Rikuri's smile itself, the sword's Tsuka (柄) is instead identified as a Tsuka-ito (柄糸) due to the several layers of Same-kawa (鮫皮, sharkskin) it is so delicately wrapped in, offering a more comfortable grip. The Tsuba (鍔) has an oval shape, providing Rikuri with additional balance and protection whilst in battle. Along with a dark black handle, the blade possesses a Habaki (鎺) for seemingly decorative purposes, though in reality, it allows for Rikuri to unsheathe the blade from it's Saya at inhuman levels of speed. A practicer of Iaido (居合道, Iaidō), Rikuri's sword play is primarily based off the art of sheathing and unsheathing Kirameki in a manner in which her opponent is essentially unable to read her movements.

Shikai
Kirameki possesses a Shikai (始解, Initial Release), which came about after an established relationship was forged between the spirit and Rikuri. Like all Zanpaktō, Kirameki can only be released by reciting it's Kaigo (改悟), which is only known by itself and Rikuri. However, unlike most Zanpakutō, Kirameki's Kaigo is a bit more complex, in the sense that it is more of a poem rather than a single word. The Kaigo goes as follows; "Cleanse the world of darkness, fill the world with brightness, show us the truth!" (闇の世界を清める明るさで世界を埋める 私たちに真実を示している, Yami no sekai o kiyomeru akaru-sa de sekai o umeru, watashitachi ni shinjitsu o shimeshite iru!)

Shikai Special Ability: In it's Shikai, Kirameki's blade gives off a vibrant aura, which provokes a bright yellow light to fire out and blind everything watching within a certain radius, except the user. The light is composed of microscopic blades, which Rikuri can then control at will to pierce her opponent from anywhere within the light. Additionally, because the bright light takes away the vision of the victim, Rikuri is able to conduct a variety of sneak attacks on those who rely more heavily on the sense of sight, as well as move about entirely unnoticed.
