TBTP: Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto

"Imperturbable and like an unmovable pivot." - Tite Kubo[1]

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto (山本元柳斎 重國,Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni) is a talented and dangerous warlord who serves the Soul King. His implacable attititude and indomitable spirit were pivotal in the ascendency of the Soul King and the creation of Soul Society.

Appearance Yamamoto is the penultimate seasoned warrior. Scars adorn his chest and back from the countless occasions he has crossed blades in the living world and the afterlife. His gaunt and tired, yet thoughtful and alert expression is one of born of experience in countless battles and military engagements. He walks with a resolute pride; his confident stride and erect posture tell any person that bars his path to step aside.

Personality Yamamoto is stubborn, impetuous, proud, cruel, violent, and single-minded. Were it not for his manner of speech and the sophisticated tactics he employs in battle, one would assume he is a simple barbarian; this is not the case. Yamamoto is a highly capable strategist and tactician, though he is tacet in his words and manners. He never backs down from any challenges or obstacles to his goal, and always seeks to overcome them, by any means possible. He is willing to sacrifice everything for his cause. Yamamoto prioritizes his duty to the Soul King and the Mandate of Heaven above all other considerations; fear, love, and even his own death are just distractions to fulfilling his chosen purpose.
