Sanji

Sanji Toshiro is a Shinigami of the First Division and holds its 3rd Seat. He is the cousin of the Captain of the Tenth Division and is the brother of Tora Toshiro who holds the 4th seat of the 10th Division.

Appearance
A short man despite his age. He has blond wavy hair and carries his zanpakuto on his back.

Academy Training
He began like any other Shinigami, by going through Academy training. He was the one of the top of his class because he possessed a huge amount of spiritual energy. However, during his training, a Hollow attacked and his commander/teacher fled leaving him and his cousin Ryun Toshiro and brother, Tora Toshiro to fend for themselves. Ryun, in a blind fit of rage, utterly demolished the hollow. Sometime after, Ryun becomes the captain of Squad 10 and Tora gains the Fourth Seat. Sanji himself is given the 3rd seat of the First Division.

Achieving Shikai and Bankai
While Ryun and Tora are trying to gain Shikai, Sanji begins trying to achieve Shikai as well. During one of his attempts, he enters his inner world and meets his zanpakuto's spirit. From then on he is able to achieve Shikai. During this time, they are confronted by a group of Shinigami who are hunting Rouge Shinigami. Ryun easily defeats all five Shinigami and they are confronted by another Shinigami named Kakashi Hikaru who offers to train Ryun to control his Bankai. Sanji watches closely and achieves his own Bankai, however he can hardly control it.

Zanpakuto
Shinkunami is Sanji's zanpakuto. In it's sealed state appears as a japanese long sword. It is extremely light and allows Sanji to move at extreme speeds, making his attacks more potent. It is also extremely sharp as well, but it's defense is horrible however.
 * Shikai: Shinkunami's release command is "Drown". Once said, it changes into a long, bluish-purple staff with a curved and pointed tip, as well as a spherical gem. With it, he summons water and waves. With the command, "Rise" he can summon an enormous wave of water.
 * Bankai: Kyokan Shinkunami transforms from a staff into a trident that Sanji uses to do stronger versions of his Shikai abilities.
