Shiba Kuukaku

Shiba Kukaku is a resident of Rukongai and the head of the Shiba clan, once a noble house. She is the sister of Ganju and the late Kaien Shiba, as well as a close friend of Yoruichi Shihōin. Kukaku is known as the best fireworks master in all of Rukongai, and her house serves simultaneously as a workshop and a launch pad for launching people into Seireitei. She lost her right arm, but this does not prevent her from remaining a formidable fighter and an imperious mistress. Her character is hot-tempered and aggressive, but behind the rudeness hides devotion to family and the memory of her brother.
