Yukio Houjou (幸夫方丈, Hōjō Yukio), more commonly refered to as Yuuki (ゆうき, Yūki), is the Captain of the Second Division in the Gotei 13 and the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukidō. Originally the 1st Seat of the Division, Yukio was promoted to be Captain after the death of the former Captain, Suì-Fēng during the Vandenreich Invasion. Yukio was the only one deemed worthy of being the next Captain of the Second Division, for being held in high regard for his skill, as well as being the only member in the Division, aside from Suì-Fēng, to have mastered Bankai. He is also a part time teacher in Shinō Academy, teaching Zanjutsu fighting and techniques.
