His footwear is usually a pair of geta. He wears a thin golden circlet with a crystal pendant on his forehead which continues around his head and finally reaches in to a large sun ray shaped hairpin. It is set on to the front of he bun of the hight tail, giving the sense of a coronet which fits with her high social status in Seireitei.

When he attends to the Central 46, eapecially when taking part on a session, he wears like any wise men and judjes there, black kimono and whithe haori with his face covered by a numbered plaque just standing before it to conceal his identity.

Personality
As the son of the ancient patriarch of a high noble house, Kyokko places himself to rather high moral standards. Much like his sister, he likes reading books and scrolls.He is very fascinated with Demon Magic, and he often practices Kidō. She seems to prefer to stay at the family compound if not quarteded in the Seijōtōkyorin (清浄塔居林, Tranquil Forest of Residential Towers; Pure Pagoda Forest). He is even tempered, often seemungly emotionless, coupled with a mature and serious demeanour. He has a stong sense of justice, and in his soft spoken and urbane style makes anyone know that neither judiciary authority nor he is one to be trifled with or taken lightly. He possesses some incination though to place good sense over motoric regulations. Kyokko however stives to uphold orger in any sense. He demands orderly performance and rarely if never accepts mistakes. If he makes one, he is ready to suffer its consequences. He has a very bright mind and often speakos of the "light of certitude" that "may guide one's efforts". Although pretty self-confident, he is also modest, and dislikes to abuse his noble or centraly authority status, also his financial one, and in return dislikes those ho do just that, he says its immoral and do not show any sensible example to anyone, and as such it's despisable. He avoids conflicts and tries his best not entering one directly. Just as he avoids combat, let alone battlem by his nature. Instead of fighting himself, he either summons gurads ti his side, or uses magic to shield himself and is there are others, them as well. If facing some threat alone, he usually uses his special ability to turn in to rays of light and thin air if he wants no display to it. However when there's no way to bring a diplomatic resolve and he must resort to combat, he performs as a proficient Kido-user. Kyokko believes that the light that shine through one's soul is capable to shape world around one. He is acetain of that his current favorable existence is a revard of eternity for the effort he had made previously, perhaps through more cycles as a living mortal and a soul. In his free time Kyokko often travels, often in disguse, in to the outer percincts of Rukongai to see if poor condition better. If he doesn't see it like that, he insists making some difference in a following random problem he encounters. He has brilliant ability to solve puzzles ans see things interconnected in a transaction and cusality. Even if he can't help there on the field, it makes him more focused on real problems that affect Soul Society from whithin.

Background
Kyokko was born two decades more that six centuries ago. She became the second child of Eienido Shinnōri, the Patriarch of the noble Shinnōri clan, and Yōkō Shinnōri. Being the first-born bestows him with the title Prince (公爵 - Kōshaku).

The Shinnōri clan's intense infuence among of demon magicians and Kidō enchanters left its mark on Kyokko indefinetly. He was raised according to the high standards of a principal youth. Eventually he became a student of the Shin'ō Academy in which her father, as a founder of the instiute, also have held classes on Spiritual Theory and Demon Magic Theory that time. Her aptitude with Kidō showed great promise and Renhana exceled in the art of Bakudō spells, while Hadō spells also came easy to use for him, he's usually taken aback from their destructive nature. As much as he excelled in demon magic, he was less capable to fight with a sword or any weapon altogeter. He however started his studies whitout the aim to become a Shinigami. It wasn't the way of the Shinnōri, who preferred magical arts ower those of martial after all. Learning from the Shinigami and with the future generation of them made him knowledgeable enough to judge and read them well.

No more than about a couple centuries ago her mother fell victim to a Hollow assault inside Seireitei. The incident was later revealed to be a diversion to the disappearances and Hollowfication experiments orchestrated by Sōsuke Aizen in order to divide the attention of the Shimigami supposed to investigate the matter. The Lady's death was a great loss for the clan, the family and for her son above question. The desperate situation with all the other ill willed happenings showed him that what is in performance behind that all is the very same phenomenon that is a hidden decay in Soul Society.

It took one more century to the truth to be revealed, that Captain Aizen of the Gotei 13 plotted all this awful things, incuding her mother's murder, that of the entire Central 46, and the attempted execution of Rukia Kuchiki.

After the massacre was revealed. Kyokko was nominated as one wise man and finally elected to be a member of the newly formed Central 46. Up tu this day he is operating with his colleagues with the mandate give to him by the Soul King himself, to govern te Soul Society in his stead.

Some say her sister, Renhana Shinnōri got the permission to found her new experimental Kidō Corps Psychological Operations Unit much to his lobby work. Either way the funding of the Psychological Operations Unit is expected to fall on to the shoulders of Renhana or more likely in her stead the Shinnōri clan. Even Kyooko himself is often accompanied with Kidō Psy Ops around town, especially during his undercover excursions to Rukongai.

Shinnōri-owned Heikō (平衡 - Equilibrium) Reishi Re-Cycling Enterprise is operated by his father, the Patriarch, but the business receives proper care from the authority's level to perform smoothly by Kyokko's doing. No better input exists to surevy the health of a society than to knowing what they throw in to the trash. And due to the secret technique of the clan mere trash, which is composed out of Reishi, as anything in Soul Society, is distilled and sublimated in to pure spiritual substance. No wonder the Shinnōri clan has the Lotus in their mon. A beautiful, flowering entity that grows out of the mud. Much like Seireitei out of Rukongai, or like the Shinnōri themselves out of all the citizens of Soul Society. Kyokko puts it this way.

Powers & Abilities
Inner Light: Kyokko is guided by his inner light of certitude, that literally sheds light on to the resolutioon of even very complex situations. Guded by resplendent and clear logic, he is able to see the thruth even in the darkest corners of figmented and twisted truth, burning away corruption and false sense. Kyokko has thus daylight vision anytime, and also true sught to see past very powerful illusions. Another interesting feature of his inner light is to take on the ethereal form of light, either shining or not.

Zanpakutakara
Kōsen(光線 幕, Ray of Light) is the name of Kyokko's Zanpakutakara. Takara (宝) meaning treasure as opposed to Katana / -To syllable (刀) meaning sword. When sealed it takes the form of a gold hairpin set on to the bunned high tail of his hair. Technically Kōsen is clearly not a Zanpakuto, yet a sentient and intelligent Spirit with it's own personality resiging in the crystal actually duplicates Renhana's personality. According to her point of wiew on the matter, Kōsen is part of his personality sealed away in the spirit form it manifests in in her subconscious "inner world". This very much resebles how an ordinary Zanpakuto is related to it's master. Although this to be said, Sinnōri doesn'tconsider themselves spritual warriors or Shinigami, that is why their weapons, Zanpakutakara, are manifsting as decorative objects or jewels rather than blades. Inherently not meat for offense, as a Zanpakutakara Kōsen enhances defensive, magical, and intellectual measures.

Shikai: It is released with the phrase "Shine through". When released, Kōsen glows with golgen light on Kyokko's head. It changes no size nor form, just glows with an welcoming sometimes shimmering light.

Shikai Special Ability: The special ability of Kōsen is to allow Kyokko to utilize Clearvoyance and True Sight. He is able to comprehend and solve complex puzzeles and twisted situations with stongly reduced effort. He is also able to see past powerful illusions, and overcome halucinations.

Another special ability is the dispersed Light Form. This allows Kyokko to transcend the bond of the physical reality and turn in to an etherial aurora. This light phenomenon can not be attacked by physical means, but also he can not interact with the physical world (either material or spiritual). He can emit light if he wishes to, but he can turn competely invisible too.

The abilities, including enhanced regenartion is limited only to Kyokko. This makes her unable to make other hardy toward illusions, or clearvoyant but can warn others of dangers and protect them by other means. Light form also only applies to his body and soul, actual outfit and small belongings can be dispersed in to light and reformed however.
