Masanori is, in fact, very good looking. There are times where he is, in fact, so pretty and handsome that he occasionally get mistaken for being a woman at times. Some might suggest that Masanori's look is, well, aristocratic. Nothing is too big on his face and nothing is deformed. Masanori is 6 feet and 2 inches tall and he weighs 200 pounds. He has soft brown eyes and silky, long, clean black hair. His skin color is a little on the pale side though. Masanori keeps himself in tip top shape, however. Masanori’s muscles and body type are considered to be lean; he isn’t obscenely huge but one can definitely see the pectoral muscles on his chest and the six pack that graces his abdomen. As a Lieutenant of Squad 7, He wears the traditional Shihakushō with a white undergarment underneath but the undershirt that Masanori wears has a red and gold collar. He also wears the traditional Liuetenant badge and he carries his zanpakutō on the right side of his waist and it is tied to his obi sash.

Masanori's personality is a bit complex. The thing is about Masanori is that even though he is kind, rational, dutiful, mindful and generous, he is only this way because logic and reason allow him to be. He does not do things out the kindness of his heart but because of being philosophical and logical. He does not use his heart to do things...he uses his mind. His heart is in the dark on what the rest of him happens to be doing. For instance, if he gives a poor man on the street some money, he is not doing so because he feels sorry for him or because he wants to help him. He is doing so because he believes helping others to be a philosophical law, he knows full well that he would want someone to help him if he were in the same situation. Masanori deals with every problem he faces logically and he uses, philosophy, reason and logic to conquer ever obstacle. He uses it in determining who might be wrong in a quarrel or who might be right. This means that he looks down upon people that encroach on a person's unalienable rights. It is this mindset that helps Masanori to be an honorable and virtuous man. He believes in fairness above all else, no matter what situation he is in. However, this mindset allows him to realize that not everyone is as honorable as Masanori so he knows very well to be weary of those that aren't.

As a philosophical, logical man, Masanori realizes that he is not a "know-it-all", either. He feels that just because he might know all there is to know about one topic does not mean that he knows everything there is to know about everything. He has this notion that if there is something that he or anyone else is not sure of, then they should be sure to learn more about it. It is because of his philosophical ways that Masanori will not fight at the drop of a hat. He is a bit of a pacifist to a certain extent. He will not throw his weight around like others do, but he knows that there is nothing wrong with brandishing his weapon and fighting to bring about peace. He does not fight without a proper reason and when he fights, he fights to defend others but even that is limited by his philosophical and logical nature.

It is also because of his philosophical nature that Masanori has many flaws. He can be a little detached and dispassionate. He can be quite stern as well. He will compliment you or condemn you with a straight and stoic look on his face. However, his biggest problem is with his heart and soul. Because of his stern and logical nature, because of his need to follow reason, Masanori has a heard time appealing to the heart of man. He does not let his emotions get the better of him, so he has a big problem rousing people, getting them fired up, or getting people to back Masanori emotionally and wholeheartedly. Despite this, Masanori is a good man, he is just good because logic, reason, and being philosophical calls him to be, which is why he was assigned to Squad 7, so that he may learn how to touch the hearts of people, given the fact that he is in the squad that deals with diplomacy between the denizens of Rukongai and those of Seireitei. Masanori treats Jōshō Tamashī, his zanpakuto, like his best friend. He has a very soft spot for it. Masanori's zanpakuto is very important to him, perhaps more important than anything else. Masanori does not have many friends that truly know him and Jōshō Tamashī is the only one that does. Masanori spends a lot of time mediating and partcipating in Jinzen with his zanpakuto, often training, sparring with and talking to Jōshō Tamashī inside his own inner world. His zanpakuto is probably the best thing that ever happened to him because despite their different personalities, they still understand each other and they are still very close. Jōshō Tamashī is more than a zanpakuto to Masanori, it's his best friend.

Masanori has no other weapons other than his Zanpakuto

Jōshō Tamashī: Masanori's zanpakuto, it means "Risen Soul" in japanese. This zanpakuto is considered to be a Light-type zanpakuto.

sealed form: Jōshō Tamashī is a zanpakuto with a 30 inch blade with the hilt being 1 foot long. The sword is evenly weighted with the hilt weighing as much as the blade. It is a little light but it is a very strong blade, capable of cutting down almost anything. The blade itself is so shiny that one can see his/her reflection in it. The scabbard or rather the saya is colored black with a bronze cap at the top of the scabbard. The cord is colored red as well. As for the hilt, it is wraped in red cloth and the pommel is bronze as well. The cross guard is very unique, it is bronze and circular with two crescent shaped openings, stylized and formed in the way the crescent shapes are on the Yin-Yang symbol(without the dots, or course), separated by the blade itself.

spirit: Jōshō Tamashī looks like a powerhouse. He is a male zanpakuto spirit that is 6 foot and 5 inches. He weighs 265 pounds. His skin is tanned and he is extremely muscular. He wears customized samurai armor all colored in red. He wears a samurai helmet with gold and bronze markings and accents on it but one could still see his face. The cuirass is red and is layered with metal plates with a gold motif of a dragon's face in the middle of it. The samurai vambraces are red and layered with metal plates as well and so are the spaulders. The left and right samurai vambrace is covered in gold and bronze markings and accents and the left and right samurai spaudler both have a gold motif of a dragon's face on it as well. The samurai fauld is red and layered with metal as well. He wears black samurai hakama with red, metal layered samurai greaves with gold and bronze markings and accents.

Jōshō Tamashī is almost the polar opposite of Masanori. He is impulsive, wild, and he runs on emotion. He is extremely dynamic and he goes with his gut and heart. He uses his gut and heart to think and he uses them to get through every obstacle he is faced with. Despite him not being like Masanori, he has an extremely close and powerful relationship. Jōshō Tamashī understands Masanori and why he does the things he does. Jōshō Tamashī makes to be the "heart" of Masanori and it shows whenever Masanori wields him in battle. Jōshō Tamashī believes that if he stays by Masanori's side, then he could teach him to use his heart and soul more. Jōshō Tamashī believes that there is nothing wrong with listening to one's heart and Jōshō Tamashī always tries to show Masanori that whenever he is called by Masanori. He may be different from him but Jōshō Tamashī sees Masanori as his best friend.

inner world: Masanori's inner world a traditional 2-story Japanese castle in the clouds. The clouds are solid and they can be walked upon and the field of clouds stretch for miles all around the castle. The steps that lead into the castle are made of stone and the castle is colored in red, gold, and black. The castle entrance consists of two huge red doors and when one opens them, they will see Jōshō Tamashī sitting in a chair in the middle of the first floor with stairs behind him that lead up to another room. There are candles everywhere inside the castle, enough to illuminate the castle enough for a person to read and write in and there are various weapon racks that hold different kinds of weapons sitting around inside the castle but despite all of this, the interior of the castle is extremely spacious. The floor is made up of hardwood. The inner world changes with Masanori's mood. If Masanori is sad, depressed, or confused, the sky of the inner world will turn black-greyish, as if it was about to rain in the inner world. If he is angry or furious, then the sky of the inner world will turn red. If Masanori is at peace or happy, the inner world will be normal.

release command: Hikari no Senshi Wa, Araizu!!: English translation: Warrior of Light, Arise!

description: Some things change when Masanori activates his shikai. His appearance stays the same but his weapon drastically changes. It goes from a regular, custom-made katana into a unique taoist sword. Masanori's sword becomes a double edged taoist sword with the point of the blade splitting into three sharp, bladed points, making somewhat of a trident formation, with the middle point being the most prominent. The blade itself fades from being bright silver at the top to being red when the blade meets with the handle. The handle part of this sword becomes golden and the pommel of the sword handle elongates and splits into three long points as well. The cross guard of Masanori's blade in its shikai form goes from being in circular form to stretching into a rectangle and curling in at its ends. It has black markings and accents on the flat sides of the blade

Picture of the blade in shikai form

In this form, Jōshō Tamashī will appear on the battlefield as well to assist Masanori, standing next to Masanori in his solid 6'5", 265 pound frame. He will wield the same shikai weapon that Masanori does and he will be at Masanori's command. He will not take any action other than moving with Masanori unless he is commanded by Masanori to do something.
