Birthday : November 4

Occupation : Shinigami lieutenant of the 1st Division
Chojiro Sasakibe is a character in the manga and anime Bleach. He is the lieutenant of the 1st Division, under Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai. In regards to his clothes, he is known to wear a jinbaori over his uniform. Little else is known about him.
His zanpakuto is Gonryomaru , lit. Stern Spirit. When he releases it with the command Ugate , 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.
In the manga, Chojiro 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 Kyoka Suigetsu, Sosuke Aizen's zanpakuto. Unless a definitive statement is given by the manga or the author, it will remain unknown which is correct.
Chojiro Sasakibe's name was not revealed for quite some time after his initial appearance in the manga (even the name of his zanpakuto was revealed before his own.) This, along with his aloof appearance, has made him rather mysterious as a character. Less is known about Chojiro than almost any other character in the series.
