The Sixth: Kisuke Urahara

My sixth hero, Kisuke Urahara! In the Bleach world, he is a shop owner, ex-shinigami (death god), former captain of division 12 of the Gotei 13 (shinigami army in Soul Society), former creator and head of the Shinigami Research Institute, now Ichigo's trainer. He teach Ichigo how to gain back his shinigami power.

Always wearing a stick which actually his zanpakutou (soul slayer), japanese sandal, blond hair covered with an odd stripped hat. Always looks laidback, but actually he's alert. Seems knows nothing about Ichigo's shinigami activity but actually keep monitoring the soul society's activity along with Yoruichi Shihouin, his friend, a talking cat (what? talking cat? 'o').

He was banished from Soul Society hundred years ago for inventing untraceable gigai (synthetic body for shinigami) and hogyoku (orb of distortion that dissolved the boundary between shinigami and hollow that let them to gain more power). He was escape from Soul Society with Yoruichi's help. Also, he is associated with Isshin Kurosaki (Ichigo's dad).

The Fifth: Shimada Kanbei

"A true samurai doesn't worry over a bowl of rice," he says. Kanbei Sama has integrity and do his way of samurai to protect the weak. He live not for himself, just to make his belly full but for the truth and others. He is a true hero who will fight for justice, not even have any doubts in his act. Samurai 7 was an anime interpretation of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Basically the key plot is the with the original "Seven Samurai". When I saw Shimada Kanbei, I knew he has stolen my attention. Especially in the episode when he happened to save Kirara when she jumped to avoid Ukyo's soldiers.

"He was the one who taught me the meaning of fighting itself."

The kind of person who is not seeking wealth or power. He seeks perfection in strength. He is not fighting for money or possession but for the meaning of fighting itself: Onime no Kyo.
