Name : Kusajishi Yachiru
Birthday : February 12
Height : 109 cm
Weight : 15.5 kg
Occupation : Lieutenant of the 11th Division, shinigami
Yachiru can be described as very cute and innocent in appearance. She has short pink hair and is quite small. She also likes to give people nicknames. She calls another member of the 11th Division "Maki-maki" (meaning rolled rolled), a humourous nickname.
She is usually found latched onto the back of her captain, Zaraki. She is cheerful, energetic, upbeat and surprisingly intimidating at times, especially when annoyed. Like Zaraki, she has no sense of direction. She is also physically stronger than she appears, with the ability to carry Zaraki effortlessly.
 Yachiru dislikes being criticized in any way and will often attack the perpetrator. For example, she headbutts Orihime Inoue and bites 3rd Seat Ikkaku Madarame's bald head.
Despite her harmless appearance, it should be noted that Yachiru is the lieutenant of the combat division within Soul Society. This is reflected when she gets into more serious moments and reveals her immense spiritual energy and speed.
Yachiru's parents were murdered in rukongai's 79th district (Kusajishi) when she was a baby. She was found soon after by a nameless but highly skilled sword fighter from Zaraki, the Soul Society's 80th District. The swordsman named the baby Yachiru after the only person who he ever cared about. The swordsman from Zaraki took on his own name that day and became Kenpachi Zaraki.
 From that moment on, the two have been inseparable and have developed an argumentative father-daughter relationship. How they entered the Seireitei and became shinigami is unknown. In an interview Tite Kubo mentioned he plans on revealing who Zaraki named Yachiru for.
The name and ability of Yachiru's zanpakutou is unknown. She carries her zanpakutou around with a loose cord, rather than at the sash of her uniform. Her zanpakutou's scabbard even has wheels on it to carry it around. It has a child-like flower pattern on the crossguard. Since Yachiru holds the rank of lieutenant, it is likely that she achieved shikai, but considering the fact that she didn't have to take the entrance exam to get her position, it is possible that she doesn't have one either (like Zaraki). She also stated in an episode that getting help from your zanpakutou is cheating. She claims that Kenpachi actually won, not Ichigo.
