Kouhei Hakoda



Kouhei Hakoda (箱田 劫卯兵, Hakoda Kouhei; "Requiem Warrior, Rejected Connection"), also known by his moniker The Desert Fox (砂漠狐, Sabaku Kitsune) or the White Dragon (白龍, Byakuryū), and known as the Crimson Piercer because of his piering red eyes...

Zanpakutō
Hitodama (人魂, human soul; Supernatural fiery ball; Death candle) is Kouhei's zanpakutō. In it's sealed state, Hitodama takes the form of two Chinese jian, or chinese straight sword. The blade is approximately eighty-four centimeters long and five centimeters wide, with the grip measuring about twenty four centimeters long. The swords are light and flexible, weighing less than one kilogram. The black blade of the weapon originated with the sword's composition of meteoric iron, making it indestructible and making it able to cut through steel with ease, as well as airplanes, jets, and even the cannon of a tank, as well as through other zanpakutō. The design of the jian is influenced by Japanese swords, as it has a crossguard as well as a thin ring used as a hibiki, with firey symbols etched into it. the jian's handle is black and the crossguard is golden, with a white lotus flower decorating counterpart, and etched on the grip as well. The very top of the handle has three small golden rings placed on top of each other, piercing through the top part of the handle. As a result, the sword is said to look more akin to a tsurugi then a jian, although by classification, it is still a jian.

The spirit of Hitodama takes the form of two large and very long dragons. One of them is red, and the other is blue, and take on serpentine forms, similar to the Chinese dragon. The two are said to represent yin-yang and balance, what is said to stabilize fire and allows him to control his attacks. The red dragon is known as Ryūjin (龍神, Dragon King) and the blue dragon is known as Watatsumi (綿津見, Ocean Dragon). Ryūjin represents yin, and true to his name, he is shallow, arrogant, and conceited, as well as dark, passive, downward, cold, and contracting. His demeanor is a evil motif, as he exists in Kouhei's soul to balance Watatsumi. Watatsumi is the exact opposite of Ryūjin, being yang. As such, she is bright, active, upward, hot, and expanding, and is often contradicting Ryūjin and balancing out his anger and uncontrollable manner, and is often the voice of reason when it comes to Kouhei seeking knowledge and wisdom. Ryūjin, ironically, is the one who taught Kouhei how to use his abilities, and Watatsumi taught him how to refine the abilities to become less aggressive. In short, Ryūjin and Watatsumi work together to help Kouhei and despite the voice of reason and the voice of anger, are always willing to help Kouhei. Because of Kouhei's bright demeanor, his inner world is set upon a mountain shrine, with a small ornately decorated shrine with a fiery ball resting in a golden cup - the fiery ball being his soul. Kouhei cannot touch it, and neither can Ryūjin nor Watatsumi.

Since becoming a Shinūka, Kouhei has been able to control his powers to a much better degree then he could without them. The result of becoming a Shinuka created a being which rests within Kouhei's soul, which calls itself God (神様, God; Divinity; Diety). God takes the appearance of a young man with flowing white hair and blue earrings. He glows with an incandescent aura, and leaves his chest bare, wearing a flowing white robe situated at his hip. It covers his ankles and feet, making him appear to float. God is arrogant and selfish, and has only recently been mastered by Kouhei, transforming into him in his Shinuka transformation. God does not bother Kouhei, nor does he ever threaten him; however, God's arrogant demeanor causes Kouhei to sometimes lose control of his zanpakutō's abilities, and Kouhei fears that he may need to beat God again to fully conquer his true power.
