Zhi Heshou

Zhi Heshou (Simplified: 和手 志; Pinyin: Héshǒu Zhì; Katakana: ヘショヂ; Rōmaji: Hesho Ji) was an elderly man of Chinese descent who was spiritually aware. He was once a shinigami contact in China, later retiring for unknown reasons. He held a grudge against the Japanese, perhaps stemming from past encounters with them. Despite this, Zhi was an excellent healer and inventor.

Behind the scenes
Two-character surnames are very rare, unlike two-character given names. This is why Zhi emphasizes that "Heshou" is his whole family name.
