Shiba Ganju

Shiba Ganju is a resident of Rukongai and a member of the once noble Shiba clan, the younger brother of Kaien and Kukaku. He is known for his hot temper, strong ego, and deep hatred of the Shinigami, which arose after his brother's death at the hands of Rukia Kuchiki. Despite his rough appearance and ostentatious bravado, Ganju is capable of loyalty and compassion, and his devotion to his friends knows no bounds. He wields the unique earth magic of the Shiba clan and masterfully uses fireworks in battle. Over his life, he went from being a gang leader in Rukongai to an ally of Ichigo Kurosaki and a participant in the war against the Wandenreich, while preserving his individuality and sense of humor.
