Kichirou "Kicha" Matsubara
In the large garden within the area of the Squad 1 barracks was a man with black hair sparring another with blonde hair. The man with black hair had his fists raised, covering his face slightly as he swiftly avoided the blonde mans attacks. As the Blonde man threw a right hook the black haired male ducked and stepped forward with his with his left foot before slamming his right fist into the Blonde mans gut, the impact released a small shockwave and the blonde man coughed up a fair amount of blood before he dropped to the floor clutching his stomach. The black haired male straightened himself up before looking down at the Blonde haired male and speaking "
You leave yourself to open...You need to practice more on keeping your defence and evasion up. Only striking when there is a clear open spot. I'm not one for wasting my energy to hit something that will only be evaded or blocked...when I attack I intend for it to hit. Now get up and go sort yourself out...I've got some important work to do" The blonde haired male remained on the floor coughing as the black haired male walked off.
After the black haired male took a shower and got himself all cleaned up he placed some special gear he wore under his clothing before stretching a little and leaving his room. As he walked down the halls of the Squad 1 barracks the various Shinigami that were in this mans presence bowed. The Black haired male was known as Kichirou Matsubara, a relatively young man from the Matsubara family, a family that boasted nothing special, in truth Kichirou boasted nothing special...he had no natural talent, no crushing spiritual energy and he was an utter failure with the use of Kido. However Kichirou was an extremely hard worker who has devoted his life to becoming the best he can and this was why he joined Squad 1...yet it wasn't always like this. Kichirou left the Academy with terrible grades, he was considered weak but worked harder than anyone else. The first Squad Kichirou joined was Squad 11 and even then he was only allowed in because he didn't like Kido. After a few years at Squad 11 Kichirou requested to be transferred to Squad 2. He had shown excellent Skill with Hakuda and Hoho and his Zanjutsu was incredible after his time at Squad 11 and so during his time he perfected his skills in Hakuda and Hoho at Squad 2.
Many more years passed and eventually he rose to 3rd seat within Squad 2 and had begun to gain a decent reputation among his Squad members and even some of the Gotei 13 for that matter. Kichirou was ruthless and executed orders with no issues. He did not care for who he was killing or capturing...he followed his orders with complete perfection. However the current Lieutenant of Squad 2 had grown bitter towards Kichirou and eventually turned traitor, it was Kichirou who requested that he go alone to defeat the former Squad 2 Lieutenant. The Captain had faith in Kichirou and so granted him his wish, this action that some would consider stupidity was closely monitored by the Head Captain. Kichirou had tracked down his target within a few days and defeated the former Squad 2 Lieutenant with great skill...one thing however that surprised the Squad 2 Captain who had been assigned to follow Kichirou by the Head Captain was Kichirou's use of a Bankai...something the traitorous Squad 2 Lieutenant didn't even possess. Kichirou had kept his Bankai a secret as he wanted to earn his position through sheer skill as opposed to simply gaining a flashy Bankai...yet Kichirou's Bankai wasn't flashy at all, it was considered small in terms of a Bankai yet was just as deadly as he defeated the former Squad 2 Lieutenant with a single punch.
Upon completing his mission Kichirou was noticed by the Head Captain and despite his lack of kido the Head Captain assigned him as a joint Lieutenant of Squad 1 with his current Lieutenant. As time passed the two Lieutenants of Squad 1 were sent on various tasks and completed every single one they were assigned, the two worked extremely well as a team and had shown many times they were capable of taking on enemies supposedly many times stronger than they were. However the two were sent on a mission to capture an extremely high priority target, the two fought to the best of their abilities until Kichirou's partner was killed in battle, Kichirou himself would have been next if not for the Head Captain showing up and taking the fight into his own hands. Since that day the Head Captain has apologised to Kichirou for sending him on a mission that cost him his partners life. It was false records of their target that had done this...the target was indeed strong, strong enough to draw out the head Captains Bankai...in truth the target was toying with the two Lieutenants until they grew bored.
Now Kichirou runs the Lieutenant spot alone...now strong enough to rival many Captains of the Gotei 13 he stays true to his position of Squad 1 Lieutenant, not caring for a Captain position...in truth Kichirou had got where he wanted, he was now the closest person to the Head Captain a man who would likely help Kichirou grow stronger than he had ever imagined. However Kichirou was a professional...when working...when not working he was no better than a common thug in the Rukongai. Kichirou when working was entirely different to the Kichirou off work. Now leaving the Squad 1 barracks Kichirou could relax...no longer having to act professional. It was time for him to go enjoy himself and so off to one of the many bars of the Seireitei he went. Kichirou often caused trouble when off duty and the Head Captain was wise to this...however he let this slip as he knew Kichirou would make up for it by working harder than any other...something so good has to come with a bad side...and Kichirou's off duty ways were the bad side..
