Zanpakutō
Yata no Kagami (八咫の鏡, "Eight-Span Mirror"): According to Gen'ichi, his Zanpakutō has its Shikai in constant release, and therefore, he does not need sword skills to fight.

Before achieving his Zanpakutō's first form, Gen'ichi held a regular katana. It had a red scabbard and a blue handle. It also had a rectangular tsuba, with a triangular trim.


 * Shikai: Even though Yata no Kagami is a constantly released Zanpakutō, during Gen'ichi's battle, he showed that it needs to have its release command shouted every time he wishes to use its powers. The command is "Reflect" (照り返す, terikaesu).


 * Shikai Special Ability: After having its command spoken, Yata no Kagami starts morphing, gaining the shape of an oval mirror. The mirror is able to control reflections to several extents, including recreating objects that are reflected in the mirror in other glass-like surfaces.


 * Bankai: Not yet achieved.
