Powers - Minoru was once a lieutenant of squad two, he prefers to lead an unassuming life, thus tends rarely demonstrate his maximum capabilities.  He had even stepped down to third seat to avoid having to do so. However, let not his reluctance to participate fool anyone into believing he is no major threat, as he would prefer to end it all quickly with his speed and precision. Minoru makes it look surprisingly effortless as he seemingly walks through the battlefield to give a target a quick tap on the head with a fan.

Shunpo- As a former officer of squad two, of which was tied to the Onmitsukido, Minoru is well versed in shunpo. Although curiously his variation of the technique creates a multitude of after-images of himself, as they appear to onlookers in succession to make the illusion of his presence frame by frame as they disappear. Hence, why some may find it strange that an Onmitsukido member would walk so slowly towards an opponent not knowing he is actually moving at speeds faster than they could visually detect. 

Hakuda - As a former member of squad two holding third seat, Minoru is head of the Detention unit in the Onmitsukido.  As no weapons were allowed in the Den of Maggots, Minoru demonstrates a mastery of Hakuda. His defensive style requires patience and keen observation in striking the weak points, as well as the endurance to outlast the series of turns and counter turns the battle takes. Be warne,  single flick of a wrist at a critical spot could render someone unconscious.

Zanjutsu – Due to the nature of his Zanpakuto, wielding such a blade requires a special consideration. Thus Minoru’s Zanjutsu style is unconventional, requiring the opponent to avoid the lagging blade as he prepares for another stroke.

Hollowfication
Minoru's hollowfication allows him to use his mask for 30 seconds, increasing his speed and strength over time rather than an immediate boost. Although he doesn’t use the technique often as it requires him eventually maximize his abilities.

Inner World: Minoru’s inner world is an interior of a teahouse. Located in a bamboo grove, the paper walls of the occluded hut conceals the inviting hearth and mats. A steaming tetsubin awaits, as the tea ceremony is hosted by his inner hollow…

Release Phrase:  
“Open the way, Tsukumogami.”

Shikai: Upon its release Tsukumogami opens up to reveal its metal fan blades extending to a length of a standard katana before closing once more as the blades meld together into one relatively blunt blade. 

Shikai Special Ability: Tsukumogami is either the fastest Zanpakuto in all the soul society, or perhaps more aptly the slowest.  The blunt blade offers no real cutting edge, not even an edge actually as a physical swing of the blade triggers no such even in reality until moments later. As such attempt to defend against such an attack using visual cues offers only the experience of watching Tsukumogami phasing through the intercepting object. Instead, reality “records” the movement of the would-be blade of the Zanpakuto until Minoru opens the fan to separate all the blades out in a fantastic display of sharpness. Upon opening the fan, it is revealed that the extended blades are missing, and that Tsukumogami resembles its seal state. However, it is at that point where the recorded instances of where the blades would be register and move along the path traced out earlier finishing the instant Minoru closes the fan.

Bankai: Not yet achieved, or perhaps revealed. Due to his personality, he probably wouldn’t reveal it even if he did achieve it.

History: ((I'll come up with this as I learn more about the plot of the Rp.))
