Hono Sutoraika (炎ストライカー, Sutoraika Hono, literally meaning 'Flame Striker') is the Captain of the 1st division in the Gotei 13. He is the only known, and possibly the only surviving member of the Sutoraika family, a once famous clan that had devastating abilities. The identity of his current liutenant is unknown.

Appearance
Hono has charcoal black eyes and shaggy, jet black hair. These are the characteristics of all members of the Sutoraika family. He wears the standard captain uniform. He is rarely smiling, as he tries to stay serious at all times, especially when thinking up a battle strategy. He is tall, and somewhat muscular, like the other captains. He has a scar over his right eye. He got this scar when a phoenix scratched him there. He also wears black, fingerless gloves.

In his Bankai form, he looks the same, but the only difference is that he is surrounded with an aura that looks like fire, and there are flaming phoenix wings sprouting from his back. While in his Bankai form, his right eye turns from black, to blood red with dark flames. With this eye, he is able to see through any illusions including those of Aizen's.

Ocassionally, when he's not doing any soul reaper work, he sprts a scarlet cloack with a gold flame design at the bottom. There is gray lining on the inside.
