About

Retsu Unohana, formerly known as Yachiru Unohana, was the captain of the 4th Division in the Gotei 13. She was one of the oldest and most experienced captains, renowned as Soul Society's best healer. Unohana was also the first captain of the 11th Division and the original Kenpachi, showcasing her duality as both a nurturing healer and a fierce warrior.

Unohana's abilities span from master healing techniques to unparalleled swordsmanship. Her Zanpakutō, Minazuki, possesses both healing and offensive capabilities. As one of the founding members of the Gotei 13, Unohana's power and experience make her a formidable presence in the Soul Society.

Unohana typically presents a gentle and warm personality, speaking softly and politely to everyone. However, this masks her true nature as a bloodthirsty and violent warrior. When reverting to her original personality, she becomes cold-blooded and brutal, infatuated with crossing blades and willing to use any means necessary to gain an advantage in battle.

Physically, Unohana appears to be a slender, youthful woman with blue eyes and long black hair, which she usually wears in a large braid down the front of her body. She has a notable scar between her collarbone, inflicted by Kenpachi Zaraki in their youth. Unohana wears the standard Shinigami captain uniform with an obi instead of a sash.
