About
Renji is one of the more memorable characters in BLEACH, even if only in terms of his appearance. He has long light crimson hair, usually kept in a high ponytail, and his entire body appears to be covered in tribal tattoo work. How he got these tattoos is unknown, but it appears that with every achievement Renji attains, his tattoos increase as well, from his early days as a shinigami candidate till when he was imprisoned by Byakuya Kuchiki (his tattoos cover his entire back at this point of time). He had no visible tattoos before entering the Shinigami Academy.Like virtually all shinigami, Renji is most often seen in formal Japanese clothing, consisting of the following: A black kimono, black hakama pants and zori sandals. He occasionally tosses in a bit of headgear as well, usually consisting of either a bandana or sets of goggles (created by the 12th Division Technological Department used to sense Rukia's dwindling spiritual pressure in his debut and a different pair for his fight against Ichigo in Soul Society).
As far as his personality goes, Renji is about as eccentric as any other shinigami. He varies from smug and cocky in his first appearances to downright angsty and depressed after his major defeats, but shows himself to be an incredibly serious and determined fighter when confronted with an actual challenge. Willing to fight, kill, and die for whatever he believes in, Renji is a dangerous man to those who stand in his way.
Renji is also extremely loyal to Rukia Kuchiki, and has shown hints of even being in love with her. Following his second battle with Ichigo, it appears that the two have gained mutual respect and trust toward one-another and share a friendly rivalry.
