Sarugaki, Hiyori

猿柿ひよ里

Hiyori Sarugaki served as a former lieutenant of the 12th Division under captains Kirio Hikifune and Kisuke Urahara. She regarded Hikifune as a mother figure, which led her to initially refuse accepting Urahara as her replacement. Hiyori is a petite girl with blonde hair, a fierce temper, and violent tendencies. Her hair is styled in pigtails, and she wears a red jogging outfit adorned with the first kanji of her name (猿 saru, meaning "monkey"). She also has a small fang on the left side of her mouth. Hiyori frequently abuses Shinji Hirako, typically by slapping him with one of her sandals or using him as a human shield when necessary. This behavior dates back to her time as a lieutenant, even though Shinji outranked her at that time.
Hiyori took the longest to defeat her inner hollow among all current Visoreds (excluding Ichigo, who took approximately the same amount of time), requiring 69 minutes and 2 seconds. Hiyori's zanpakutō appears standard, with her tsuba decorated with small hearts, contrasting with her less girlish personality. She normally carries her sword on her right shoulder, like Ichigo. Her hollow mask resembles that of a normal hollow mask, featuring a large horn and pink-like stripes on top.
