History
Kazuko was born dead, and his soul was sent up to the soul society. He appeared in the grass near some houses crying. People walked past him ignoring him but one girl walked up to him picking him up rocking him back and forth and Kazuko stopped crying falling asleep. The woman took Kazuko to her house and tucked him in beside her in her bed because it was night and they both slept calmly.

A couple years past and they were celebrating Kazuko’s 6th birthday and all the kids in the area was there to congrat him. Kazuko was happy with all the friends he had and the woman that took care of him. The party started and kept going until evening and everyone had fun under that time. All the kids went home and Kazuko was ready to go to bed and sleep. When he was ready the woman walked inside and kissed his forehead saying good night then left the room closing the door and Kazuko went to sleep.

A lot of years pass and Kazuko was now 19 years old and he was sitting at home when he saw a shinigami enter a how with the woman that had taken care of him walking beside the shinigami. Kazuko watched the shinigami and he was amazed but afraid as well because she maybe thought he had done something. But that was not the case because she offered him to join the shinigami academy because of his high spiritual pressure. Kazuko looked at the shinigami then at the woman and the woman nodded as she smiled saying that he could and Kazuko got up and hugged the woman then left with the shinigami waving back at the area he grew up as everyone else waved back smiling at him as he smiled back.

They got to the shinigami academy and he started after a few days of getting to know everyone and once he did he started to take classes. He took classes in all the different Kido’s he trained his sword skills and he also trained his hand to hand combat. He became a master at everything he was taught in but it took him over 4 years then he finished the academy. He got into squad 8 and quickly came through the ranks and under that time he learned his shikai then his bankai. He got into 1st right under the squad's lieutenant and he was accepted by everyone in his squad and the captain highly acknowledged him. Kazuko was happy that he got accepted by everyone in his squad and he went on many missions with them and he even got to fight beside the captain of the squad.

A couple more years passed and he helped in different actions that happened around that time but a while after he had just turned 29 the soul society got attacked by quincies and every squad had to step into action and help in the battle. It was a fearsome the head captain got killed and some shinigami’s as well. After the head captain was dead the quincies went up to the soul king and fought through squad 0. Down by the soul society the captain and Kazuko hurried up to the soul king to save him but it was to late and the quincies had made a base up there. The captains and Kazuko pushed through to finish the quincies for good but when they got to the last one they all were lying on the ground except squad 8’s captain and Kazuko. They both panted then they both looked at each other and nodded then Kazuko went into his final to fight off the last quince as squad 8’s captain used his bankai for the finishing blow to kill the quince and they succeeded. The soul society was saved and they fixed a new soul king and got the wounded to squad 4’s barracks to get healed up.

A month pass by and he started to feel a power within him that kept wanting to come out and he feared that it might be an inner hollow. He thought for a bit then remembered one of a captains that they also had this problem. Kazuko spoke with him and they the captain trained him to control his inner power that was a hollow. Kazuko took control over after just the first few minutes and the felt that he had also gotten a lot stronger and that he had learned to pot on a hollow mask that increased his power immensely. He thanked the captain then went back to his squad barracks.

400 years later the captains was discussing off who should be the new head captain and they all agreed on that the new head captain should be the captain from squad 8 and the captain nodded then walked Kazuko to tell him that he would be the new captain of squad 8. Kazuka was a bit worried and asked if he was sure and he just laughed friendly and nodded. Kazuko smiled slightly and bowed and said that he won’t let him down. Then from that point on he became the captain of squad 8. Later on he was sent to a meeting that would declare a new Soul King and the the one that got the most votes was Kazuko. He was shocked at first but he was pepped talked by his fellow soul reapers so he accepted it and went on to become the soul king. Some time passed and he sparred with the previous Soul King and by the held of his right hand he was able to unlock two new forms called Shukai and Zenkai. He then later on gave the place as the new Soul King to someone else and returned as captain of squad 8.

In the end he left the Soul King role but before he left the soul king role he got training from the soul king before him so he got more strength, speed, agility and endurance and after that he trained with a divine kami that gave him extremely more endurance so he is now able to tank a zanpakuto with his body (like kenpachi) it took him a 1000 years to master both of the training stuff he did with the past soul king and with the divine kami.
