Airi Natsume (愛莉 奈爪) is a rogue Shinigami aligned with Hotaru Hiroshi and his followers. As such, she is supportive of his mission to secure the Ōin. Her twin sister is Asuka.
Appearance[]
Airi and Asuka are nearly identical twins, with only minor differences to differentiate them.[1] Asuka has the appearance of a teenage girl, is lithe of build, sporting black hair, red eyes, and a cute face.[2] Even after defecting from the Kidō Corps, she continued to wear the standard Shinigami attire, with the addition of a hooded cloak.[3]
Personality[]
Asuka is an impressionable young woman. This attitude has been used against her by people like Hotaru, who was capable of manipulating her thinking and recruiting her to his cause.[4] Asuka, after breaking free of his influence with Akira's help, realized just how poisonous Hotaru was, and wanted to open her sister's eyes.[5] Personally, she's focused and dedicated,[2] and only became more so when she believed that Asuka was dead, for Xiuying revealed that her anger had only grown over the years.[6]
History[]
Airi grew disillusioned with the Soul Society under unknown circumstances and joined Hotaru shortly before Sakae alongside her sister, Xiuying, and Ayumi Ise.[3] She was a former member of the Kidō Corps, and participated in an internal conflict between feuding factions of the Kidō Corps in the lead-up to an assault on the 9th Division.[7] Additionally, Hotaru trained Airi and her colleagues in the school of Kidō taught in his own world,[8] as well as the advanced Nigendō branch.[9]

Powers and Abilities[]
High Spiritual Energy: Asuka's spiritual power is considered entry-level Lieutenant-class, for she is noted to be weaker than Sakae, whose power upon recruitment was said to sit in the gulf between a Lieutenant and a Captain.[8]
Kidō Expertise: Hotaru's followers are identified both as "witches" and "mages", suggesting significant skill in the magical arts, with spells from two distinct Kidō variations: that taught in their own world, and those taught in Hotaru's world.[8] In addition, she undertook training from Hotaru in the Nigendō branch of Kidō, which was finalized by Akira within the Forest.[9] As a former member of the Kidō Corps, and one who survived an internal conflict between feuding factions immediately prior to her defection, Airi's skills are notably high.[7]
