Bio: Hibiki was a child born into a poor family. They were nomads relying upon the winds of fate to shelter them. One day they chanced upon an old abandoned building and took shelter, there they had a chance to live peacefully, but only for a week or so. A furious storm hit the area, lightning and winds tore apart the roof of their house and the rain brought about a tremendous flood. Their parents urged them to cross the raging waters, so they did. All of them went across, save for Hibiki, when he mustered the courage to brave the hellish winds, a strong gale, carrying a piece of metal ended his life as its force knocked him into the river unconscious.
He woke up in the district of Rukongai #80. He scrambled to find his parents, his siblings, but eventually gave up. He lived in this unforgiving district, running, surviving, existing. He forgot about the dreaded memories of his life, but carried with him a sense of fear for the winds as he struggled to find a better life. Years later he became a shinigami and he escaped the life of poverty... but he has yet to loosen fear's clutch on him.

Zanpakutō
Kazeoni (風鬼, wind demon) A standard katana featuring a yellow, rectangular tsuba and pitch black tsuka-ito. Kazeoni has an elemental affinity of wind.
- Shikai: It is triggered by the command Kirikizu (切り傷, cut). Upon release, Kazeoni's katana form vanishes in a strong burst of winds, and a large, four-point shuriken with three-foot blades materializes in it's place. The shuriken itself is made of tempered steel and can cut with the slightest of touches
- Shikai Special Ability: Kazeoni's Shikai deals primarily with offensive maneuvers that utilizes both the speed and cutting power of the Shikai shuriken.
- Tsume (爪, talon)
By riding the air trail left by an enemy's movements, Kazeoni can follow it's target until it hits it or until it is reflected or recalled by Hibiki
Kuchibasi (嘴, beak)
Hibiki throws Kazeoni in a straight line towards the enemy at rapid speeds, comparable to a pergrin falcon's dive (220 mph) This is it's most powerful attack, but its weakness is that it can not be redirected and very hard to recall.
Hane (羽, wing)
This technique allows Kazeoni to vanish on the spot and reappear in Hibiki's hand through a rudimentary form of teleportation, in that it will still move from its place towards Hibiki, but will do so at great speeds. If used correctly, Kazeoni can be thrown, then teleported across the battlefield and turned thus allowing for it's trajectory to be changed and giving way to surprise attacks.
Obtained?: Yes
Bankai: Tenrai Kazeoni - (天来 風 鬼, heavenly wind demon) - Upon release, the shuriken will expand itself and shine brightly, creating a twelve-foot "X" shaped cross that can still possesses the same cutting ability as its Shikai. It will then begin to turn in a windmill-like fashion, accelerating with each cycle until it is a complete blur. At this point, the winds it will generate start to strengthen until two bright, massive wings emerge from the center and begin to spin around perpendicular to the cross. This will create a tornado which will complete the activation of Tenrai Kazeoni's Bankai release.
- Bankai Special Ability: Tenrai Kazeoni's Bankai deals with using wind for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. It has a handful of modes which it switches in between one another to adapt from one situation to another. Though each of them is different to another, the main similarity is that all of them utilizes a Bankai object as a medium for wind.
- Fūjin (風神, wind god)
This form of Tenrai Kazeoni is one to six large cyclones. Here his form of attack are his cyclones, which are generated by six chakram blades. The chakram blades are either in the center of the cyclone or are revolving around a target, they are invisible. Generally he uses six cyclones but he can merge two, three or all of them to create a more powerful cyclone. Here the chakram blades merely create a singular cyclone by rotating around each other and have not actually merged.
- Fukuro (袋, bag)
Can be activated only during Fujin mode. The six invisible chakrams/tornadoes separate to create a large amount of violent winds. These winds move at extreme speeds and the blade fragments leading them allow them to cut through even steel and iron. Though they can be controlled using one's hands, only their general direction and formation can be controlled, but the behavior of each and every wind fragment is unknown to both the user and their opponent.
Tengu (天狗, heavenly dogs)
This form of Tenrai Kazeoni is one to six chakram whose blades grow brightly. Hibiki's attack style is reminiscent to that of Shikai, except here in Tengu mode, he wields any or all of the six chakram. The blades are twice as strong as the Kazeoni's shuriken form and the blades are now visible. Additionally, he can merge the chakram blades to strengthen their attack force, and he can also control them while they are in mid-flight.
- Uchiwa (団扇, fan)
Can be activated only during Tengu mode. The chakrams are wielded as melee weapons, and float around the user when not in use. They carry with them the ability to create powerful burst of winds upon attack. When all of them are used in a single attack, the winds created can decimate an entire building.
Tori (鳥, bird)
Can be activated at any mode. An advanced version of Hane in that the object being recalled now moves at a rate faster than Shunpo, making it appear that it had teleported. No longer is the recall limited to the weapon as Hibiki can "call" the weapon to himself and the weapon can "call" Hibiki to it, and the different blades can call one another to themselves as well.

Special Weapon/Equipment
Mōkinrui (猛禽類 “birds of prey”) - A pair of heavily customized gauntlets designed by Hibiki himself. Though the mechanisms are a bit crude, the construct itself is an effective weapon. It has several modes for one to choose from when wielding it, and each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, because of the rather simple locks and latches designed for the modes, mode switching to one mode automatically cancels out the current mode, forcing it to go back into the gauntlets.

However, because of the rather simple locks and latches designed for the modes, mode switching to one mode automatically cancels out the current mode, forcing it to go back into the gauntlets.
- Tatamu (畳む “to fold”) - Refers to the first set of modes.
- Nosuri (ノスリ “buzzard”)- The default mode of Mōkin-rui, a standard gauntlet, though it seems to be covered in relatively thick yet detachable bands of steel. It can deliver powerful smashes and can block rather effectively given its substantially additional armor.
Washi (和紙 “eagle”) - This mode can be accessed by removing the bands of steel covering the gauntlets. This lightens it allowing for faster strikes, but more importantly it displays the array of weapons that were concealed.
Even though the steel bands were removed, the gauntlet itself still has considerable metal on itself, thus it is capable of dealing damage via punches, smashes and other such attacks.
Fukurō (フクロウ “owl”) - This mode can be accessed by pushing down upon the knuckles of the gauntlets, causing several short spikes to appear on the outside of the gauntlet’s fingers. The spikes are curved outwards towards the fingers and are thus ideal for quickly inflicting grazing and painful wounds.
Hagewashi (ハゲワシ “vulture”) - This mode can be accessed by pushing down upon the fingers of the gauntlets, causing a talon-like nail to protrude from the tip of each of the gauntlet’s fingers. The talons are sharp at the tips, and are serrated at their backs, thus making them ideal for ripping and shredding flesh or any other objects the steel can cut through.
Hirogaru (広がる “spread”) - Refers to the second set of modes.
- Hayabusa (ハヤブサ “falcon”) - This mode can be accessed by pushing down upon the wrists of the gauntlets, causing two triangular steel sheets to appear on both gauntlets. The sheets will cover the palms and the backhands of the gauntlets, creating an impromptu yet effective katar-like weapon.
Hariyā (ハリヤ “harrier”) - This mode can be accessed by flipping the upside-down claw-like weapon found at the gauntlets’ forearms, causing the weapon to spring and lock into place at the backhands of the gauntlets. There are three claws per gauntlet, with each one measuring up to a foot in length.
Tako (凧 “kite”) - This mode can be accessed by flipping the lowered thin knife-like weapons found on the outward side of each of the gauntlets, left side for the right and right side for the left, this will cause the weapon to spring and lock into place, still on the same location but now perpendicular to its base. This gives the gauntlets a wing-like accessory measuring up to a foot in length.
Misago (ミサゴ “osprey”) - This mode can be accessed by removing the shot band of steel found underneath the palms of the gauntlets, revealing a row of five small hook tips peeking out from each of the hidden compartments. Each of the small hooks is attached to a length of reasonably thin bungee cord, that is looped around the inner compartment of the gauntlets, between the base steel of the weapons and the final layer of steel above the skin.
Taka (鷹 “hawk”) - This mode can be accessed by a quick flick of the wrist, causing two steel arrow-like shafts to shoot out from the outer two of three compartments, positioned underneath each of the gauntlets. Ammunition for this is stored elsewhere other than the gauntlets themselves. Another way to access this mode is to push down on the middle compartment, causing a single steel shaft to shoot out, while attached to a length of reasonably thin bungee cord stored in another compartment, thus allowing it to be retrieved and shot back again.
Hone Hane (骨 羽 “bone feather”) - The last mode, accessed when a string tied to the thumb is pulled, usually when the worn gauntlet is abruptly removed. This will trigger a powerful explosion, destroying the respective gauntlet and sending the steel blades and fragments flying at great speeds, effectively turning them into deadly shrapnel.
