Kido Corpse (JCP)

The Kido Corps is a seprate branch of the Soul Society's military, which excels in the art of Kido. Unlike the Onmitsukido, the Kido Corps isn't directly affiliated with any division in the Gotei 13. Like how with the Onmitsukido one needs to at least be at Expert level in Hakuda in order to be emitted at the lowest level, one needs to at least be at Expert level in Kido in order to be emitted at the lowest level in the Kido Corps. The organization was created roughly 1,000 years ago by Joel Goldsmith, who was previously the First Captain of the Sixth Division in the Gotei 13.
