Shungen Academy

Shungen Academy (俊彦 lit. Gifted Academy) was an Academy for potential Shinigami from the Rukongai district, also known as "Gifted" which was founded several thousand years ago by Shoyo Tabinin. He founded the academy to hopefully raise up new potential Shinigami who could help fight in the endless wars that plagued Soul Society during those times. Even though Shoyo served as the school's headmaster from it's conception until it was dissolved--in other words, his death--due to being the primary general for the wars, he almost never participated in any classes except for the rare occasion, and even then it was only to help one of the other many teachers that he personally handpicked to teach the classes and training courses. After his death, the school only lived on for two more weeks until it inevitably fell apart without his leadership; however, it is said that Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto's Shino Academy was founded in memory of his master, Shoyo Tabinin.
