Eishima, Shinobu
衛島 忍
Appearance:
Eishima is a Shinigami with long hair. He bears a strong resemblance to Juushirou Ukitake, though his hair is dark red. His bangs curve more to the side than Ukitake's, which are only slightly curved. However, Eishima's bangs do not hang over his right eye like Ukitake's. He dresses like the other former members of the 9th Division, wearing the standard Shinigami uniform with a white jacket over it, featuring a collar that reaches up to his neck.
Personality:
Unlike the more cheerful Captain Ukitake, Eishima appears to be a calmer, quieter, and more serious person. Along with the other members of the group, Eishima tries to keep his captain's anger under control by restraining him when his lieutenant irritated Muguruma Kensei. He did not seem to be as annoyed by the 9th Division's lieutenant's antics as his former captain was.
History:
Turn Back the Pendulum arc:
Spoiler
Eishima was first introduced when Muguruma Kensei and other high ranking seated officers of the 9th Division were sent to investigate the disappearance of the Rukongai residents. He and the other 9th Division members were seen saving a young Hisagi Shuuhei and his friends from a Hollow. When Kensei told Hisagi to smile, Eishima told his captain that it was too much to expect from him. After the battle, they learned from Kuna Mashiro (who was absent during the fight) that there were missing Shinigami as well after she discovered 10 empty shihakushō near the Hollow attack site. Kensei connected the number of empty shihakushō that Kuna found with the number of members in a vanguard that was sent to investigate earlier. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Kensei gave various orders to his men. Eishima was ordered to contact Central 46 to alert them of the first Shinigami victims in the case. Later in the night, Todō returned back from the 12th Division as Eishima and Tousen Kaname stood guard outside. Todō offered to take over guard duty watch from Tousen so that he could have a break, but Tousen refused, insisting that all three of them stood guard. Eishima told Todō that they were alternating guard duty in short periods as Kasaki Heizou and Kensei were inside resting and instructed Todō to keep watch at another spot. While Lieutenant Kuna, Kensei and 3rd Seat Kasaki were resting, they heard Eishima's voice as he was attacked. Kensei and Kasaki rushed outside to find a bloody Eishima and Tousen lying on the ground.
