The Trickster

The Trickster is a Shinigami who was responsible for the murder of the woman carrying an infant Kenji Hiroshi. His actions are shrouded in mystery along with his goals. He shows an obsession with finding and killing Kenji Hiroshi, and would have succeeded the first time had it not been for Koichi Hiroshi and Ryouta Hachirou.

Character Outline
Not much is known about The Trickster’s appearance, apart from the fact he had brown hair and wore a white robe that somehow masked his spiritual energy signature along with his facial features. He was of average height and possessed a single crimson eye that was visible. He appeared before Koichi Hiroshi and Ryouta Hachirou wielding dual zanpakuto.

The Trickster has been shown to be rather cocky, because he doubted either Koichi or Ryouta would be able to defeat him, let alone make him flee. He shows an almost uncontrollable urge to find and kill Kenji Hiroshi and has come close once, only to be thwarted by the combined efforts of Koichi Hiroshi and Ryouta Hachirou. He shows absolutely no qualms with killing, whether the person is a man, woman or child. Koichi views The Trickster as a monster who needs to be dealt with.

History
Absolutely nothing is known about The Trickster’s past. There are no records to be found even in Soul Society, and until Koichi and Ryouta repelled him; there were no witnesses either. His entire being is shrouded in mystery.

Powers and Abilities
Expert Dual Sword Combat: The Trickster was able to fight effectively against someone of Ryouta’s skill and force him on the defensive with quick, precise strikes and almost beheaded him on one occassion. (Ryouta was tired from a previous battle, however, and nowhere near full power).

Flash Step Expert: The Trickster used a very impressive Flash Step to escape from Koichi and Ryouta; the latter admitting he hadn’t seen one as impressive in a long time. He was also fast enough to dodge the steel spikes caused by Ryouta’s zanpakuto and keep up with Ryouta's speed.

Kido Expert: Not fully shown, although he was capable of firing kido without a name and incantation while keeping their potential power. He has been shown using Hado 26: Yariawai and Hado 33: Sōkatsui and Koichi stated they both held large destructive power.

Spiritual Energy: It is unknown how much spiritual energy The Trickster possesses because neither Koichi nor Ryouta could sense anything from him. However, he was strong enough to fight effectively against Ryouta Hachirou; who possesses an immense level of spiritual energy.


 * Enhanced Endurance: The Trickster has shown to have a high level of durability. He withstood a double-footed kick from Ryouta Hachirou and then a Sōren Sōkatsui with only signed clothing and slight burns. He was also able to move quite well after receiving a wound in the side, inflicted by Koichi's Shikai blade.

Zanpakuto
The Trickster carries his zanpakuto sealed in the form of two elegantly curved blades; one serrated and one not and proved sufficient in their wielding.

Shikai: Not yet Revealed.

Bankai: Not yet Revealed.
