Ieyasu Meiji (明治 家康, Meiji Ieyasu) is the leader of the Meiji Faction among the Reishishi, being the only warrior to oppose the rule of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto while managing to survive countless confrontations against the latter. He works toward the dream of creating a peaceful Soul Society through diplomacy, unlike those among the other factions of the Reishishi whom strive solely to destroy the Gotei 13. It has been suggested that Ieyasu hails from the ancient Kuremisago Clan.

Behind the Scenes
His first name is derived from Ieyasu Tokugawa, while his surname is taken from the Meiji Restoration, an event that ironically took place following the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
