Kyoaku

Kyo is the name of the being sealed within Kenji Hiroshi's consciousness and has been there since Kenji was an infant. His origins are completely unknow as are his current goals.

Synopsis
During The Soul Society Arc, Kenji began hearing a voice that told him what to do in order to win, and that his real power would be enough to reduce Shrierker (who he claims is nothing but a particle of Reishi) to dust. He continually asks Kenji to use his power during difficult battles. During his Dangai training to master his zanpakuto's Shikai completely, Kenji meets the spirit form of the entity, who calls himself Kyo.

Kyo was sealed within Kenji when he was an infant by an unknwo individual Kyo refuses to speak about. He is abdamant that the seal on Kenji's right arm, which was first thought to be a simple tattoo, was added after his friend died by an individual Kyo didn't know. Who Kyo was before his spirit was sealed within Kenji's inner World in currently unknown. His motives, if any, are also unknwon.

Kyo is the one responsible for Kenji's eyes turning crimson when he exerts his spiritual energy. This is due to the fact that Kyo's own spiritual energy mixes with Kenji's.

Character Outline
Kyo has spiked black hair with a kind of silver tint to it throughout and has deep crimson eyes that transfer over to Kenji when the latter makes use of Kyo's spiritual energy. Kyo wears a black top that's open at the back, which carries a split fan-like motif that coloured white and red. He also carries a sword that looks similar to a zanpakuto, but whether it is or not, has yet to be confirmed. This weapon has red hilt wrapping and a golden gruard and is the same sword Kenji uses when utilizing Kyo's spiritual energy. Kyo is a tall man, standing at a full height of 6ft, exactly the same as Kenji is himself and conveniantly weighs the same as well. Kyo is mostly seen with a frightening grin and facial features to match, although his personality isn't frightening in the slightest. His uniform is ragged and tattered and the sleeves are very short.

Kyo's personality is seen as polite and kind, because he offers to allow Kenji to use his power in exchange for having control of Kenji's body for a time and even reassures Kenji that the seal on his arm won't allow him to do that for long. Despite his frightening appearance, Kyo is actually kind and calls Aoi Inazuma "pretty lady" and has even earned the spirit's trust a little. Maki has described Kyo inhabiting Kenji's body as tabo because it is very similar to a Shinigami gaining hollow-like powers, but the main difference is that Kyo has shown no desire to defeat Kenji, in fact doing the opposite by hleping him grow stronger.

Powers and Abilities
Kyo's overall skills have yet to be revealed, but he has shown some skills and they are:

High Spiritual Energy: His full levels of energy have yet to be revealed, but his spiritual energy is described as being hard and heavy. How much he has at his disposal has yet to be shown. His strength is seen whenever Kenji uses his power, either voluntarily or by accident, and is noted by Momoko Misaki to be very heavy and evil when compared to Kenji's own.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Although not fully shown, Kyo was able to fight on an even playing field with Kenji Hiroshi when the two fought in Kenji's Inner World. At the end of the battle, both combatants hadn't an injury to be seen.
 * Kaze no appuru no hana (Apple Blossoms in the Wind). The user strikes out with three incredibly quick blows, the first two strikes clearing the way for the third strike that knocks an enemy backwards using hardened spiritual energy in conjunction with the swordswing. Kyo has enough mastery in this skill to teach it to Kenji.
 * Kumo o setsudan (Cutting the Clouds). The user moves forward quickly with the intention of taking the opponents head off. Even someone as fast as The Trickster didn't avoid this attack completely, recieving a wound on his chest. Kyo has enough mastery in this skill to teach it to Kenji.
 * Furaito o torimasu davu (The dove takes flight). A feint attack designed for a dual-bladed user attacking another dual-bladed user. The attacker moves to the opponents back and attempts to make them block using both their swords while tha attacker uses only one so they are open to a cut from the user's second sword. The strike is surprising, leaving little chance to escape unless the enemy is extremely knowledgable regarding swordsmanship. Kyo has enough mastery in this skill to teach it to Kenji.
 * Shōshitsu merodī (Vanishing melody). A stance that leaves the user directly open to an attack in order to draw the enemy in. Kenji used this to escape from The Trickster's repeated strikes and managed to vanish and launch an attack after recieving a small cut across his left side. Kyo has enough mastery in this skill to teach it to Kenji.
 * Mūn wa mizuumi no ue ni noboru (The Moon Rises Over the Lakes). An attack from a sheathed postion. Kenji used this instinctively during his battle with Dastan and procedded to turn it into a series of piercing strikes using both his katana and wakizashi. Kyo has enough mastery in this skill to teach it to Kenji.

Enhanced Speed: It is unknown how Kyo moves so quickly, because he has not revealed he knows Shunpo nor has Kenji asked him. However, he can float in the air, which is a common trait of Shunpo users.

Behind the Scenes
Since I've given Kenji's zanpakuto, Aoi Inazuma a page, I decided to give Kyo one as well because it was seriously starting to clutter Kenji's page.
