Shinji Hirako
__Height:__ 176 cm (5'9") __Shikai:__ Sakanade Shinji Hirako is the former captain of the 5th Division, preceding his lieutenant [Sousuke Aizen](https://anilist.co/character/1086/Aizen-Sousuke). He distrusted Aizen from the day they met, and thus made him lieutenant so he could keep an eye on him. Shinji's character is somewhat comical, adding a bit of levity to situations that are otherwise serious. He seems to like annoying his associate, [Hiyori Sarugaki](https://anilist.co/character/1158/Sarugaki-Hiyori), which usually earns him a slap from one of her sandals. He also appears to have a history of referring to cute girls he meets as his 'first love', complete with a deadpan look on his face despite the obvious lie (he apparently never did this with Hiyori, further annoying her).
