Sealed Appearance-
Namida no Tsuki is a wind-based zanpakuto that capitalizes on Tsukiryu's brute strength. The sealed form is a greatsword that's nearly as long as he is tall. He has also been known to channel his spirit energy through just the sealed sword to unleash powerful wind attacks, but these pale in comparison to the power of the shikai and bankai abilities.
Spirit's Description-
Namida is a very gentle and caring spirit, often giving Tsukiryu guidance when he needs it most. He was able to speak with her long before he achieved his shikai release, but she never revealed her full name until he was ready.
Shikai Release Phrase-Shed your sorrows, Namida no Tsuki
Shikai Description- See right side of above picture, and there's one for each hand.
Abilities- Namida no Tsuki is a primarily offensive blade, and the shikai release is able to produce waves of energy from each blade when he slashes with them. He can also produce similar waves when he punches with the claws, making them act like a laser barrage. He calls these attacks Mikazuki no arashi (Crescent Storm) and Mikazuki no ame (Crescent Rain).
Bankai Release Phase-Illuminate the night, Namida no Tsukino Akari.
Bankai Description-
Namida no Tsukino Akari is a giant razor ring with a handle that spans across the gap in the blade. It is 6ft across, meaning it is even taller than the wielder.
Abilities- Uses spirit energy to create a shield that spans across the gap in the blade. It can also be thrown, then retrieved by drawing in its spirit energy. It also has an energy attack that can be activated by spinning the ring like a staff, called the Getsumen no shokkuu~ēbu, or Lunar Shockwave. Finally, it's overall power is gauged by the phases of the moon. The closer the day is to the full moon, the more powerful it becomes.

History
Human World- Tsukiryu was a musician in the human world, well known for performing Western Country music. He was popular and talented, but his existence ended as a human due to a freak accident. During a rehearsal, his microphone shorted out and ended up electrocuting him. He died at the hospital soon afterward.
Early Soul Society- Tsukiryu struggled in the Soul Society to start with. He started a small clinic when he realized that there were a lot of curative herbs and items in the Soul Society, and he knew how to put them to use, since he often used alternative remedies in the human world.
In the 13 Court Guard Squads Tsukiryu is now a formidible swordsman and a prodigious medic, which has earned him a great deal of respect among the Court Guard Squads. He is a trusted medic and physician whom any shinigami can turn to for help and advice.
