First Appearance: Manga chapter | Anime episode
Gin Ichimaru is the silver-haired Captain of the 3rd Division. He is most recognizable by his constantly narrowed eyes and permanent smile on his face. Gin also talked with a sarcastic tone and mocking politeness, making it very difficult 
for others to trust his word. However, Gin was well aware of this, and seems to enjoy toying with others. To some of the Shinigami, it was no surprise when Gin turned out to be one of the traitors when he, Aizen and Tousen betrayed Soul Society. However, even to his new allies in Heuco Mundo, Gin still remains a mystery whose true motives are impossible to know.
Not much is known about Gin’s past, prior to his joining of the Shinigami in Soul Society. It is known that he had saved a young Rangiku Matsumoto’s life once when she was still an orphan in the slums. It is for this reason, that Rangiku is one of the few Shinigami who may still harbor some hope for Gin. For others, like Rukia Kuchiki, Gin is a simply a creature of pure evil. She has stated that she has feared Gin 
from the first time she met him. Rukia also mentioned that talking with Gin felt like a snake was coiling around her neck.
Gin’s Zanpakutou is called Shinso and resembles a normal wakizashi (short sword) in its sealed state. The Shikai command is “shoot to kill” which triggers the blade of Shinso to glow white and extend rapidly. The blade generates tremendous force while extending and is able to maintain its rigidity and power, thus allowing Gin to whip his sword in wide arcs and attack multiple enemies.

Yoruichi Shihoin
Yoruichi Shihoin is the former Captain of the Second Division of the Gotei 13 as well as the former Commander of the Shinigami Special Forces. She first appears in the form of a black cat to Ichigo and his friends. Her true form is that of a beautiful dark skinned woman with purple hair and golden eyes. Her personality is funny and witty, and she loves to tease people who appear too serious, such as Ichigo.
Yoruichi was born as the heir to the Shihoin Clan, one of the four great noble families of Soul Society. As the head of the Second Division, she excelled at hand-to-hand combat, flash steps, and kido abilities. She took a young Soifon under her mentorship, teaching her many of the skills that would allow Soifon to later become her successor as Captain of the Second Division and the Special Forces.
the start of the events of Bleach, Yoruichi had spent over 100 years in exile. To conserve energy, she spent much of the time in the form of a black cat.

given to her. She rarely expresses any soft emotions except when Yoruichi is around.
When Yoruichi returned to Soul Society, Soifon confronted her in battle to prove to her former master how much had advanced by herself. Like Yoruichi, Soifon is also a highly agile fighter who specializes in speedy hand-to-hand combat. She is well versed in kido and using flash steps in combat. Her Zanpakuto is called Suzumebachi (Hornet) and in its sealed form resembles a wakizashi (short katana). Its Shikai form is activated by the command “Sting all enemies to death!” and transforms into a long black and gold stinger that is worn on her middle finger. Whenever an opponent is stabbed by the stinger, a butterfly symbol appears at the location of contact. If Soifon strikes the same spot twice, the opponent will die, regardless of how powerful he is.
