Kisuke Urahara is a former member of the Gotei 13, one of the armed forces of the Soul Society in the anime and manga series Bleach. A brilliant inventor, Kisuke became the founder and 1st President of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute (S.R.D.I.), an organization which develops new technology to aid those within Soul Society. Kisuke is a skillful fighter and strategist who uses his Zanpakuto sword to wield special abilities when fighting.
The Benihime (trans. Crimson Princess) is Kisuke’s trademark Zanpakuto sword he uses to fight with his genius intellect. The true power of his sword activates when he says his signature command “Awaken”. When released, the sword has the special ability to release crimson-colored energy with various offensive and defensive techniques. In its sealed state, the Benihime is a beige-colored cane sword which has a curved handle and silver base.
