Bleach – Gin Ichimaru
Gin’s characteristic is his facial expression. With his eyes narrowed to slits and his eternal smile, it resembles that of a fox. Gin Ichimaru was the commander of the 3rd company of Gotei 13 until he betrayed the Soul Society together with Sōsuke Aizen and Kaname Tōsen. His vice commander was Izuru Kira. He previously served as vice-commander of the 5th Company under Sōsuke Aizen and under Shinji Hirako.
“Feelings? I don’t have anything like that. I said it back then, when we first met… I am a snake. My skin is cold and smooth. I have no heart… crawl around… …scouting for prey with my forked tongue. And when I find something I like, I devour it with skin and hair. That’s me.”
