Hikifune Kirio

Hikifune Kirio is a former captain of the 12th Division of the Gotei 13 and a current member of the Royal Guard, bearing the title "Queen of Grains". She holds the positions of second officer of the Royal Guard and Divine General of the South. Kirio is known as the inventor of Gikon, an artificial soul, as well as an unrivaled master of cooking, whose food, saturated with Reiryoku, is capable of greatly enhancing anyone who tries it. Her cooking method is so unique that it requires enormous expenditures of spiritual power, which is why her appearance can radically change from a plump form to a slender one and back again. She remains a cheerful, caring, and at the same time firm mentor, ready to use force for the sake of discipline.
