Yoko Hisakawa

Appearance
Having grey hair at a young age was always a bit of a curse for Yoko. Because, despite her young appearance, people would always assume she was a grandma. Regardless of the insults however, she grew to love her long grey hair, and ties it in a loose ponytail to keep her hair out of her hazel-coloured eyes.

Complementing the colour of her eyes, Yoko wears an old, periwinkle jumper under her shihakushou. This is mainly because she hates it when it's a little cold, even if the weather, in reality, is quite moderate.

She also carries around a leather book bag, so that whenever she has free time, Yoko can read the book that she's into at any given time. Currently, Yoko is reading a lot of thrillers and gothic horror novels.

When Yoko was at Shino Academy, she wore a longer sleeved version of the female uniform and had black hair instead of grey. She also wore her hair in long pigtails, similar to when she lived in Rukongai. The only difference was that her hair was shorter, and she wore a faded navy blue kimono.

Zanpakuto
Hyakki Shuu (百鬼集, "Hundred Demon Collection") is, in its sealed state, an ordinary zanpakuto with a round hand guard. The hand guard itself is well decorated, having an etching of dancing yokai circling the hilt, and one string tied on either end of the guard. The hilt, meanwhile, is a dusty yellow while the binding is a forest green colour.

Shikai: Release by the command "Parade" (行進, "Koushin"), Hyakki Shuu transforms into a nagamaki version of its sealed state. The only difference in appearance being that the blunt end of the blade has a green bordered scroll, that runs most of its length, inserted into it. When Yoko uses one of Hyakki Shuu's abilities, the scroll unravels, revealing the name of the yokai written on it in large kanji.

Shikai Ability: After annoucing "Parade" once more, Yoko can call on the ability of one of 5 Yokai. Each Yokai represents an aspect of herself. Because of this, when she initially obtained her Shikai, part of her personality would become exacerbated. Now, it only happens if she is incredibly weakened in battle.
 * Kyorinrin (経凛々, "Awe inspiring sutra"): This ability causes the scroll on the back of Hyakki Shuu to take on the vague shape of a dragon's head. This 'dragon' then attacks as commanded by Yoko. Its movement is, however, easy to mess up as, if one harms the scroll, the 'dragon' becomes enraged and begins attacking on its own. This is because, in Yokai legend, the Kyorinrin lashes out in anger if its books and scrolls come to any harm. The Kyorinrin represents Yoko's love for reading, and her tendency to get quite angry when interrupted.
 * Ao Andon (青行灯, "blue andon (andon being a type of lantern)")
 * Aosagibi
 * Gyokotsu
 * Enenra

Trivia

 * Because of how much Yoko hates anything cold, she will eat hot food all year round, much to the horror of her squad mates.
 * Yoko's favourite foods are curry and hot pot, while her least favourite foods are watermelon and frozen goods.
 * Once, someone tried to force Yoko to eat a popsicle, only for her to cry out in pain after biting it. A rather furious Yoko then had to explain that she avoided cold food due to her very sensitive teeth. From that day on, no one tried giving her anything cold ever again.
