Kurumadani, Zennosuke

車谷善之介

He is a Shinigami with an afro who appears almost exclusively in omake chapters. He takes Rukia Kuchiki's place in guarding Karakura Town from hollows after she is sentenced to execution. Working in Karakura Town causes him great annoyance; not only are most hollows destroyed by other, more central characters before he arrives on the scene, but somehow an unusually high number of townsfolk can see him. When he complains about this to Soul Society, he is brushed off and told not to interfere with the other spiritually aware people around town. He remains in Karakura after Ichigo's return, last being seen warning the Karakura-Rizer team that an Arrancar is coming. Despite the fact that we don't know his division in the manga, the game Bleach: Soul Carnival considers him a member of the 13th Division (considering that he is needed to fulfill the Bonus: 13th Division).
* Shikai: When released with the command "Good Morning" (ohayō), it takes the form of a chakram with a wooden handle embedded in the blade. It was only shown in the anime.
Shikai Special Ability: By slamming the ground, Tsuchinamazu creates spikes of earth that can impale enemies.
