"As one of the ancient families, the Asakura were said to embody the emptiness of emotion or in relation to the other another clan, antimatter. With this they were always known for their dark spiritual aura (With the exception of Ritsu Asakura). Originating from the birthplace of the spiritual world, most clan members hollowed their leader into the depths of Hell as Shennong saught to gain a power to eradicate the Kurosaki. While in the underworld some weaker members became Togabito and were eternally bound to hell as a result, however some of the few more powerful members managed to tame a few of the Kushan\u0101da in order to have the great beast serve them. The clan members who abandoned Shennong have since moved to the Soul Society and live within the Rukongai with a few going to Shin\u014D Academy in order to join the Gotei. These however are few and far between due to the limited number who had a strong enough heart to abandon their leader in order to follow their own path. This paradigm between members has taken a toll on the number of Asakura who are of \"pure blood\" as most have married into other families and the blood of the dark Asakura has become diluted."@en .
