She's old, wrinkly, and short. Her pale white hair is often pulled back into a bun to further expose her aging appearance (e.g. liver spots, sagging skin, etc.). She wears the full Shinigami uniform without modification as she sees others wear theirs with major modifications. She seems to rely to remain upright, even in a seated position, a rather thick and heavy-looking cane. Her eyes seem to be perpetually closed, and perhaps they are an she sees by utilizing Reiatsu to sense her surroundings. For all anyone knows, she's blind. Most assume such without ever being given reason.

6'3" 245lbs.
He has round, yet masculine, features. His hair is brown and he has dark blue eyes. His skin is lightly tanned. Surprisingly heavy and toned musculature.

He wears a black kataginu with red trimming instead of the traditional Haori. It is merely worn for formality and does not cover much of his torso. Underneath is a white haramaki wound tight to help with posture. His hakama is more fitted than a traditional one and cuffed below the knee. An icy blue is used as a belt and holds his Zanpakuto. He also wears a rukoshaku fundoshi of a white cotton. He usually goes barefoot but will wear tenga geta (with snow spikes) for combat or formal occasions, like his kataginu.

The first and only son of Etsoku Hana and Akimoto Taiki. From the time he was born, he was raised in the Dojo of Koritate with his father. He learned diligence and humility from his father and gentleness and charity from his mother. Surprisingly, he's largely apathetic. This is in large part due to his analytical mind. Neither parent pushed him into what they wanted from him, but he intuitively knew what was expected of him, or so he thought, and worked tirelessly to reach heights few others can boast about. Of course, he wouldn't boast about his physical superiority.

Barely an adolescent, Kouta's father left them. Neither Taiki nor Hana would tell him why but simply promised they'd see each other again. Kouta promised to run the dojo in his absence and to never stop striving toward perfection.

Unfortunately, his intense focus on the physical left out much development in the mental. He follows the precepts of Koritate as if they were the only things he needed to fully understand. Outside his understanding of anatomy, physiology, and overall fitness, many would consider him stunted in the mental capacities. This might also account for his apathetic nature, he simply doesn't understand emotions as others do.

Pushed to the degree he was, he considers any physical show of emotion, from angry to happy or from pride to disgust, unacceptable. It's hard for him to associate success with struggle. Success, to him, only comes when one can easily reach what it is they yearn for. Sparring with his father's sometimes brutal and ruthless shihan left him emotionally void. He pushes past all obstacles to meet an end, but the reason for meeting this end is usually unknown to him and he acts only upon instinct.

He's participated in many charity events with his mother, but usually as a hauler. Now the Head Shihan and temporary Sensei of the dojo in the absence of his father instills in him a strong sense of responsibility but also furthers his apathy. His life revolves around running the Dojo as well as his home with his Obasan and Ojisan. They and his mother have shown notable signs of aging as they don't have the talent of reiryoku like he does and his father rumored to have. His apathy will prepare him for their deaths, hopefully.

Akimoto's wealth of energy is virtually unmatched. Since becoming Captain, he's not been known to be short on Spiritual Energy. His stamina is god-like and he has an unshakable will.

With little effort, he can push an impressive amount of Reiryoku that can knock back any lower-leveled individual. Despite having near-perfect control over his Reiatsu, anyone with a few feet of him can feel the notable chill of his Reiryoku. At its lightest, Akimoto's Reiatsu is cool and calming. At its densest, his Reiatsu will instantly freeze anyone within his vicinity.

Given his defensive skills and levels of Reiryoku, Akimoto is a tank. It's quite difficult to get through him, either physically or mentally (though the latter is due to his lower skill in Alignment and Perception).

His father told him how much aptitude he had with weapons, something his father lacked almost completely. For Akimoto, the transition from open-hand to armed is effortless and instinctual. He's learned almost all there is to know about nearly every type of weapon.

Koritate is not one to preach offensive techniques. Regardless, sometimes the best offense is a good defense and vice-versa. With his aptitude toward combat, Akimoto's capable of a competent offense when pushed. Still, his defense is not easily matched.

His Zanpakutō spirit mirrors himself. They had little difficulty developing a relationship to where Akimoto could unlock Bankai relatively quickly. Despite this, it took centuries to perfect both his Shikai and his Bankai, each.

It comes to no surprise that the son of the former Captain of Division 5 is a Master of Hakuda. Now the Captain of Division 5, himself, Akimoto has accepted that there is the rumored tradition that the 5th Division is the Division dedicated to everything Hakuda.

As with Zanjutsu, Akimoto's offense in Hakuda is simply the translation of defensive knowledge into offensive practice.
Either armed or unarmed, Akimoto flows between both methods of defense, often combining them to create openings to end a fight. His body is the ultimate shield.

With the flick of a finger, Akimoto can bring down a wall. This power only increases exponentially when focused. Though he lacks offensive skills, both armed and unarmed, this strength is more than enough to best foe.

"You're just like your father" was a common phrase he'd hear while in the Academy. Of course he tried to perform Kidō, but the smallest of spells would often fizzle out in his hand or explode in his face. Once he could perform the simplest spell, they let him graduate. However, this was not until he was behind the class he entered the Academy with by five spirit years (the typical length of the full curriculum takes 7 years to complete).

Due to the sheer size of his Reiryoku, Akimoto lacks any ability to properly concentrate his energy into the intricate forms required of Kidō.

Akimoto has a fair understanding of his own strengths and short-comings. However, with so much of his efforts going toward training, running a dojo and a Division, and occasionally making appearances in the Shin'ō Academy, any time toward meditation is precious and fleeting.

Shunpō was never a strength of Akimoto's. He can perform it well enough, but will only ever perform the technique when there's few other options.

Considering his size, the level of Mobility Akimoto possesses is surprising. He doesn't stretch as often as he should. Though he has a powerful sprint, he must expend much Reiryoku to sustain that speed.

Akimoto can focus when he means to. However, with so much focus on training and becoming the Shinigami and Soul he believes his father wishes him to be, his attention is usually focused inward. He's constantly assessing his own posture, technique, and form which takes away from truly focusing on tasks at hand. His Zanpakutō also enables him to neglect working on his Perception. He has great instinct, but is stunted in the ability to recognize patters.

A single one-handed punch that has the potential to disintegrate a target's defenses made of Reiryoku around the immediate area from the point of contact. This technique is not difficult in it's execution. The difficulty is developing the Physical Strength in which to disintegrate such defenses.

A single two-handed punch that has the potential to disintegrate a target's entire body. This technique is not difficult in it's execution. The difficulty is developing the Physical Strength in which to disintegrate such defenses.

A simple full-body tackle with the potential to shatter or break through physical or spiritual defenses.

The Horse Stance equivalent for Hakuda. Though it is considered the "ultimate defense" in Hakuda, one cannot move much while utilizing this technique. It is also limited to maneuvers utilizing blunt or slashing damage. The user's Reiryoku, Strength, and Resilience must be equal to or greater than the prerequisite Talents and Skills of the attacker.

This is a static grapple where both the user and target are locked into each other. Movement from either user or target is halted by the user. However, the user is capable of breaking bones and/or dislocating joints. The Reiryoku and Strength exerted must equal to or greater than the opponent's applicable Talents and Skills.

Considered the ultimate defense. This technique requires the user to fall into a moving meditation that perfectly follows and counters the flow of battle with deft movements, perfectly-timed dodges, and flawless parries or counter-strikes.

Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance: Tantō made of black steel and a silver sheath with black details. Black handle with ice-blue bindings. The guard is in the shape of a crescent moon.
Element/Type: Ice, Stealth
Personality: Ruthless, merciless, paternal
Spirit Appearance and Inner Realm: A large white wolf, standing four and a half feet tall, that speaks telepathically remains within a snowy tundra during the darkest of night. There is no moon but many stars and it is always snowing, though there are no clouds.
