- Character Personality
Katashi is pretty laid back most of the time. Preferring to sit around and drink rather than do work. Anybody that drinks with him is instantly his best buddy in the whole world. Unfortunately given his extremely high tolerance, he leaves most people behind in the dust when it comes to drinking. He can be a flirt with women he finds attractive, but usually doesn't get too bad with it unless he is just intentionally doing it to tease. His laid back nature can even extend to battles, preferring most of the time to not take battles very seriously, or even suggest doing things such as drinking instead of fighting. This all changes, however, if the opponent does something to upset him, at which point he fights with all the ferocity of a demon.

- Bio:
Katashi was born into a lower noble family. Most of his early years were spent appeasing the family. They never had the status of upper nobles, and that was something the elders were looking to change. Being the heir, he was blessed with a naturally monstrous reiatsu from the beginning. Quickly it had to be trained to be put under control, but his destiny was clear. Back in those days the shinigami were still in the formitive years. There was no academy to attend. It was all on the job training, and there were no Divisions in the beginning. It was more akin to a large mob. Katashi fit right in, learning how to fight extremely quickly, and loving his job. Then the original Captain Commander, a childhood acquaintance of the man, stepped up and brought forth order from the chaos.
Katashi was still young, but had achieved bankai in record time. When the divisions were formed, he was made the Captain of the Eighth Division immediately. Growing close to the Captain Commander, he was a best friend of Katashi's. He didn't engage in some of Katashi's activities such as, flirting and drinking, but the bond between them was strong enough they were akin to brothers. Katashi was closer to him than he was to anybody in his family. The two took an oath of brotherhood and watched out for each other. With how strong Katashi was, the Commander was stronger and therefore most of their bouts ended with Katashi losing.
Then the two friends met Kaori, said to be the most beautiful woman of their time. Both men fell madly in love with her, but somehow, Katashi ended up winning her hand. The two friends were not on speaking terms for awhile, until the day of Katashi's wedding arrived. Even the Commander could not stay mad in the face of such a happy day. The two friends made up, and Katashi received his friend's blessing. Happiness ruled most of the Captain's days from then on. He even stopped his flirting ways.
Given his laidback and carefree ways, Katashi got along with most of the original Captains. Given his mastery of close combat, he went about having the occasional spar with Kokoro, the Kenpachi of his days. It was a good way to make sure his skills didn't degrade with time. His days were spent split between honing his skills, spending time with his wife, and shirking his duties to do other more exciting things.
Sometime later the war with the rogues began. Katashi was involved in the war naturally, doing his best to contain the casualties. Katashi didn't take the war extremely seriously at first, not thinking the Rogues were a real threat. That is until the unthinkable happened right before the final battle, his wife was killed. Going up against the Time Rogue of Madness, he had the ability to render a person mad among other things. Unfortunately for him, Katashi was already blind with rage. Their battle destroyed much of their area and it took a considerable amount of time. Neither side had a clear advantage. The battle was long and grueling, and more than once, Katashi thought he might fall. In the end, Katashi dealt the killing blow to his opponent.
Unfortuantely this meant he was too weak to help his old friend. The Commander sacrificed himself to turn the tide of battle and the remaining Gotei members were able to seal away the rogues forever. Or so they thought. In the aftermath, Katashi spent a few years adjusting to the loss of both his friend and wife. After many years passed, he began to return to his old self. He made sure to hone his skills further, however. There was no way in hell he would let something like that happen again.

Namihime (波姫, Wave Princess) A standard katana with dark blue tsuka-ito, a matching dark-blue saya, and a small ribbon coming out of the kashira. The tsuba is a full circle, is silver in color and has a flowing water design in it's center. Namihime's primary elemental focus is that of water, but through extension, ice is also included.
Spirit: Namihime is naturally a young woman with long straight black hair and piercing gray eyes like Katashi himself. Her ears are pointy and she wears a long elegant blue gown. Alternately however and how she first appeared to Katashi she has an animal form that takes the shape of a small blue dragon.
Inner World: Katashi's inner world consists of a small island made out of ice in the middle of the ocean with a frozen castle courtyard sitting on the middle of the island. At the end of the courtyard sits a throne of ice.
Shikai: It is triggered by the command Sobieru (聳える, to rise) which causes the blade to lengthen to 2 feet, 3 inches. The blade becomes surrounding in rapidly moving water molecules, increasing it's cutting power.
Shikai Special Ability: Namihime's Shikai grants Katashi certain aspects over the control of water, specifically generating it from his Zanpakutō or his own body.
Ametsumari (雨詰まり, rain blockade)
By taking either pointer finger and pointing it to the sky and then flicking it to point at the target, a large surge of water falls from the sky to crush the target. The surge itself is quite wide in diameter and is thus hard to escape.
Kaikō Shindō (海溝 震動, deep impact) [ironically, those Kanji can also be translated as ocean trench tremor]
By striking his opponent with an open palm, a surge of water is shot out of his palm much like a piston, hitting the opponent with 300 pounds of force.
Mizusaki (水先, direction of a current)
When Namihime is swung a large surge of water is called forth from the swing's path and is fired out once the swing is completed. The water is pressurized enough to topple a Gillian and can demolish a large building with ease.
Suijinheki (水陣壁, water encampment wall)
Water erupts in front of him to create a wall of water used to block attacks. This technique can also be directed beneath the opponent erupt underneath the opponent to skewer them from below.
Obtained?: Yes
Bankai: Tsunamihime (津波姫, Tidal Wave Princess) Upon release, the blade straightens and lengthens, becoming sharp on both sides. The tsuka curves near the kashira, the tsuka-ito changes into dark blue silk, a long, dark blue tassel extends out of the kashira and the tsuba disappears completely. The blade of the blade becomes coated in ice. Increasing it's cutting edge and should it cut someone, the wound left behind when will instantly numb over due to the temperature generated by the blade. Ice crystals will form as this occurs, hindering movement in that area and in 2 posts, that area will be fully frozen and if not treated properly, the affected area will experience a large case of cell death and be rendered completely useless.
Bankai Special Ability: With Namihime's Bankai, Katashi is granted a greater control over the raging force of water and with it, a certain amount of ice control from freezing water molecules. Katashi is freely able to adjust the temperature of his water attacks, which range from boiling to freezing cold. Katashi can manipulate water and ice to a certain extent, not all of his attacks are named like this.
Daishio (大潮, the large part of the tide)
This technique is the Mizusaki's origin and it is significantly more powerful. When Namihime is swung a large surge of water is called forth from the swing's path and is fired out once the swing is completed. The water is pressurized enough to blow a Gillian several yards and is capable of reducing a large building to debris.
Kawatama (川弾, river bullet)
This technique significantly reduces the diameter of Daishio, narrowing it to the size of a dime that allows the attack to punch holes in steel. Instead of swinging Namihime however, Kawatama is fired from Namihime's kissaki.
Bōsōmizu (暴走水, rampaging water)
Gathers all the water around into one large mass of water behind him creating water as necessary to reach full size. Once at maximum size the mass of water then takes on the shape of a dragon like his zanpakuto spirit's animal form except much larger. The dragon of water then proceeds to rush towards the opponent capable of following said opponent to some extent before crashing down on the enemy and surrounding area with all the crushing force of a tsunami. Because of how destructive it can be he only uses it as a last resort. Considered to be Namihime's most powerful ability and is draining on Katashi.
Hinami (氷波, ice wave)
After making a fist with either hand, Katashi flicks his fingers outward, creating an ethereal white wave that pulsates out from his hand and instantly freezes anything it passes over. Objects frozen become quite brittle and can then be broken with any decent hit.
Hyōketsukan (氷結棺, freezing coffin)
Creates a small sphere of ice around the opponent. Once formed the attack takes on a similiar effect as the famed Iron Maiden and the kido Kurohitsugi that causes multiple ice spikes to form inside. Once finished the sphere then shatters outward sending ice projectiles everywhere with potential friendly fire. The attack carries the same effect as himi.
Kesshōchi (結晶地, crystal earth)
Considered to be Namihime's final attack as it will completely drain Katashi of his Reiryoku and render him unconscious after use. Kesshōchi creates a 200-square foot area of absolute zero temperatures (−273.15 °C) regardless of any heat sources within the area as the technique will suck the heat from them as well. At such extreme temperatures, events which do not normally occur in nature begin to happen, such as breakdowns on atomic level and super conductivity. Anything within this area will become completely frozen solid and trapped inside.
Zanpakutō Bankai Time Able to Hold:
Unlimited
Obtained?:
Yes

Master Swordsmanship Specialist - Katashi is a master in this technique being one of the most proficient users in all of Soul Society. This is displayed by him actually being able to hold his own against the previous Eleventh Division Captain and Current Captain Commander. He is capable of utilizing all zanjutsu abilities and has even invented a few of his own for his own personal use.
Shunpo Expert - While not being the fastest around, Katashi is capable of flawless use of Shunpo, executing it with little effort and being able to move quite far with each step. He is also quite flexible. He has been known to utilize Senka in his time.
Immense Endurance - Katashi is known for being incredibly resilient, able to keep fighting for prolonged periods of time with even life threatening injuries.
Immense Strength - While not the strongest, Katashi is capable of showing extreme feats of strength, having been known to cut through an entire building with one seemingly effortless swing. He can hold his own against the strongest quite well.
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant - By blending many styles into his own unique style, Katashi has attained master status in hakuda. Being known to utilize most known forms of hakuda, and because of his immense strenth, even able to use Sōkotsu and Ikkotsu. He has even created a few techniques for his own personal use.
Kidō Expert - Being one of the Original Gotei 13 Captains, Katashi has had many years to fine tune his skill in kidō. So despite not having much skill to begin with, over the years he has grown to be able to use most known kidō spells to varying degrees. He can use up to Bakudo 81 and Hado 91. Most uncatergorized spells are able to be used with the exception of Shunko and Hanki.
Vast Reiryoku Reserves and Reiatsu - When it comes to reiryoku Katashi carries a frightening amount. Even by captain standards he holds a frightening amount. It is easily among the largest in all of seireitei if not the largest. Capable of altering an area when it is completely released. When fully released, his ice aligned reiatsu can easily render the area around him frozen under a layer of ice. He has learned such control over it, that he can reduce the amount that leaks out so as to not affect the people around him. If he isn't careful and it flares up, it is easily capable of reducing a person of Lieutenant level to be dropped to their knees and barely able to breathe. And capable of affecting even other captains. His old friend and ex-commander who sported a rather large amount himself, once commented on how it was affecting even him when fully released. His reiatsu at all levels carries an extreme chilling effect. At all levels his reiatsu is light blue almost white in color.
