The 28th head of the Kuchiki Clan and captain of the 6th Division in Gotei 13, Byakuya is the feared black-haired brother of Rukia Kuchiki in Soul Society.

Because of a promise, Byakuya made sure never to put Rukia in a high-ranked seat; fearing the risks of the said position. However, even if Byakuya is seen as a conformist, he somehow admits that the law is not perfect and thus, becomes more considerate and protective to Rukia and other people.

AO NO EXORCIST’s Rin Okumura
