Wielder
Tetsuzaemon Iba is the lieutenant of the 7th Division of the 13 Protection Squad, under Captain Sajin Komamura. Iba has a distinctive hair cut and wears black sunglasses with his standard Shinigami uniform. He also smokes and carries his Zanpakuto as a small blade inside his uniform. He has a large tattoo on his back consisting of a cat on fire and the kanji shōfuku (inviting luck). These features, plus his informal style of speech, are all strongly reminiscent of a typical yakuza.
