Kagura Kaburagi (鏑木・神楽, Kaburagi Kagura literally Arrowhead Tree, Divine Entertainment), also known by the alias Francesca Giovanna (フランチェスカ・ジョバアーナ, Furanchesuka Jōbana), is a Shinigami who stations herself in the city of Venice, Italy, after her defection from Soul Society. Originally a dedicated follower of the Shinigami way, after serving as the Guardian Shinigami in Akihabara for a while and interacting with the humans there, she realized how alien the Shinigami's way of thinking was, and defected. Moving to Venice, Kagura decided to work as the town's protector, away from the authority of Soul Society.
