Kazuma Karaware (空裂=日魔, Karaware Kazuma) is a highly powerful Shinigami from Rukongai. Upon being found to have truly immense amounts of reiatsu, Kazuma was admitted into the Shinō Academy, where he passed with flying colors, showing skills which even surpassed several Captains. During his time as a seated officer, Kazuma met Karen Nikuya, whom he quickly developed a crush on despite her incredibly violent tendencies and status as a remorseless sociopath. His excellent leadership skills, despite his general air of silliness and his gullibility are top-notch, and he is popular among many inhabitants of Soul Society due to being exceedingly kind and approachable.
