Chōjirō Sasakibe (雀部 長次郎 Sasakibe Chōjirō?) is a character in the manga and anime Bleach. He is the lieutenant of the 1st Division, under Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai. In regards to his clothes, he is known to wear a jinbaori over his uniform. Little else is known about him.
[edit] Gonryōmaru
His zanpakutō is Gonryōmaru (厳霊丸), lit. Stern Spirit. When he releases it with the command Ugate (穿て, lit. Pierce!), it transforms into a sword similar to a rapier used in western fencing. However, its ability is still unknown as Ichigo Kurosaki dispatches of him before he can attempt anything.
[edit] Trivia
- In the manga, Chōjirō Sasakibe is illustrated having no pupils and is often assumed by fans to be blind. However, in the anime, he is animated with yellow or light brown eyes. Rather conflictingly, if he were to be blind, he would not have been affected by the complete hypnosis of Kyōka Suigetsu, Sōsuke Aizen's zanpakutō. Unless a definitive statement is given by the manga or the author, it will remain unknown which is correct.
- Chōjirō Sasakibe's name was not revealed for quite some time after his initial appearance in the manga (even the name of his zanpakutō was revealed before his own.) This, along with his aloof appearance, has made him rather mysterious as a character. Less is known about Chōjirō than almost any other character in the series.
