Doof Mort

Kenta Endō, later known as Kenta Nami, is the former 4th Seat officer of the 7th Division of the Gotei 13.

Appearance
Kenta is quite tall, being the tallest student in his class. He has fair skin, very dark brown hair, and brown eyes as a human. When he transforms into a Shinigami, his messy hair and eyes are black, and skin is tanned. He also becomes a bit taller. As the series progresses, his hair grow longer. As a Shinigami, he is described by girls as "cute", which greatly irked Kenta.

One of the most notable features of his body is the long scar inflicted by Enki in their youth.

As a human, he has several outfits, the most seen being his school uniform. He is also sometimes seen wearing spectacles. As a Shinigami, he wears a white shirt, blue pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees along with black arm guards that covered his forearms and stretched up to reach his upper biceps. He also wore a purple rope belt around his waist, tied in a bow, in which he carries his sword.

After the seventeen month time-skip, Kenta has gotten notably taller, and his hair are much longer. He has four of five battle armors worn by his father, the fifth, gold in colour, was sliced by Yahiko. The design of all of them are the same, with different colours, namely red, green, blue, black (silver in anime) and gold (yellow in anime). After the timeskip, he is seen wearing the red armor for most of the time.

Personality
Kenta, as a young boy, was very cheerful. He became excited when he got to learn something new or assigned to a mission. Remarked by his father as well as Enki, he lived for his "rush". He got along very well with his partner, but when he faced off against him, he had only one target in his mind: to kill him, as his top priority was his mission.

In his human form, he shows his cheerful side, however, in a battle, Kenta is very ruthless, never showing mercy to any opponent. He is not hesitant to sacrifice innocent people if they come in his way. This is shown when Danny Fernández uses his fellow human classmate Sako as a human shield, Kenta regardless went on to attack, killing Danny and gravely wounding Sako. However, he has deep respect and love for his adoptive mother, claiming that he can kill himself if Yuki says so.



Kenta also has a good sense of humour, and is very sarcastic. He is quite short tempered and aggressive. His classmates also describe him to be very "weird", "studious", and "boring".

He also has incredible willpower, stemming from his desire to survive. Even when he is on the verge of death, he would never give up. However, he would back away from a fight, if he knows that there is no way to win. About this, he says that he is hot headed but not a total idiot.

Power and Abilities
Kenta is a very powerful Shinigami, though his power pales in comparison to the Captains of the Gotei 13. During his childhood, he was able to fight evenly with Enki, though the latter eventually won. However, with his Shikai, Kenta was able to quickly kill Enki. At the beginning of the series, Kenta is shown to be strong enough to single-handedly defeat two Hollows in separate battles without even wielding his sword, showing the fruits of hundreds of years of training. Ever since, he trains hard, and gets stronger with each fight.


 * Spiritual Power

Kenta's spiritual power is very strong, but he has low reserves of them, so he is not fit for prolonged battles. However, since Kenta relies mostly on Zanjutsu, he does not mind this problem.


 * Physical Strength:

Kenta is physically powerful. Even as a human, he can punch through a concrete wall. As a Shinigami, he grows considerably stronger, killing a Hollow in only 10 blows.


 * Speed and reflexes:

Kenta, even in his human form, is fast enough to outrun a horse. Likewise he also has considerable reflexes. These attributes are also increased upon becoming a Shinigami.

Kenta has decent skills in Shunpō. Kenta claims that the reason he is not good at Shunpō is that he seeks raw power and thus was never able to fully concentrate on Shunpō.
 * Shunpō Skills:


 * Intelligence:

Kenta is a very intelligent man with excellent skill at chess. He is a brilliant strategist whose strategies are almost never incorrect. His brains, along with his ruthlessness, makes him a highly dangerous opponent.


 * Hakuda:

Kenta has average skills in Hakuda, however, he killed a weak Hollow purely with Hakuda. Since then, Kenta almost never relies on Hakuda during a battle.


 * Swordsmanship:

Kenta's preferred method of fighting is through Zanjutsu. He is incredibly skilled with his sword and, since he trained himself after his mother's death, his style is completely unpredictable.

Weaknesses

 * Scar: Even a gentle blow at his scar can cause him immense pain and he can be momentarily stunned if the hit is hard enough.


 * Kidō: Not exactly a weakness, Kenta has little to no skill in Kidō spells. The only spell he is shown to use is the Byakurai.


 * Limits of his Zanpakutō: Kenta can use his Zanpakutō technique, Hell Attack, only five times in a minute. He also has to spend a lot of time while charging the Blue Strength Formula.

Zanpakutō

 * Akasennin

Akasennin (Red Sage) is Kenta's Zanpakutō. In its sealed Zanpakutō resembles a chokutō. It has a indigo handle and sheath. Even an unsheathed sword can be used by Kenta as a staff to fight. The Shikai is activated at the command of "Stand up!" (立ち上がれ！, tachiagare!), referring to standing of a sage after meditation to begin the fight. In its Shikai form, Akasennin has a silver handle and a black hilt. Above the handle is a silver blade with red markings, and below the blade is a silver ring, connected through a chain. The sheath becomes golden.

Shikai Special Ability: Akasennin is a melee-type sword, but it is shown to possess two special techniques:


 * Hell Attack: Kenta pulls the ring and blade is covered with white-colored Reiatsu. This is shot as a powerful, invisible wave. This move was first used to kill Enki Masaki, and since has became Akasennin's most common attack.


 * Sage Art - Red Strength Formula: Kenta's strongest technique. After purifying his mind and keeping his Zanpakutō close to his heart, the kanji for "red" (赤, aka) appears on Kenta's chest. This symbol can be used as a direct attack, or can disperse as millions of microscopic "red" symbols, appearing like sparkles. The sparkles can be used in a many ways, depending upon the imagination and tactics of Kenta. Since this technique requires a lot of time, focus, and cleansing of heart, it is very dangerous for Kenta to use it in middle of a battle.

One such technique is known as the Sphere of Annihilation, where the sparkles trap the target in a sphere. Kenta then uses a Hell Attack directly at the sphere, destroying it and crushing anything inside. This technique can be rendered completely useless if the target is durable enough to withstand it, or uses reiatsu to break free of the sphere.
