Recruitment[]
Captain Getsueikirite's leadership is laid-back, though he expects much out of his soldiers, treating them as a family unit. As such, the division works surprisingly well together. His leadership is complemented by the lazy Lieutenant Matsumoto, who usually pushes most of her duties on Raian. Nevertheless, the friendliness of the division make it a shining star within the Gotei 13.

Frank Talk with the Captain-Commander, Retsu Unohana!
- "The 10th Division is composed of its founder and strong leader, Captain Getsueikirite, and the gentle, free-spirited Lieutenant Matsumoto, so I think its a particularly well structured division! I recommend this division to those of you who want to see your abilities develop at an astonishing rate, and for those who value their friends above all else. Captain Getsueikirite is the type of guy who will stick his neck out for you no matter what you do. If you're in his division, you're in his 'family' for keeps! Its such a good division! ♥"
