Keiku Kira

Ai's old friend from Zaraki, now in training to become Ai's second-in-command for Fourth Company.

Appearance
Keiku has brown hair and brown eyes. He's a good-looking little kid, not extraordinarily so, but pretty cute. Looks to be about 10 or so.

Personality
Keiku is a energetic and happy little boy, and he's obsessed with impressing Ai.

History
Ai trained him in basic battle back in Zaraki. Keiku has made a vow to Ai that some day, he will be his Vice. Ai has since left that position in 4th Company open.

Powers
Basic Combat - Not much, but Keiku has the basic abilities of a Shinigami. He can use basic Kido, Hakuda, and even Hoho skills. His throwing ability with needles is also impessive. Keiku is able to take down even Gillian-class hollows. His strongest skill is his Hakuda and Shunpo, which are pretty impressive for his size.

Zanpakuto
Impressively for his experience, Keiku has already learned the name of his Zanpakuto, Arufa Arashi. He doesnt have a Shikai yet, but he knows Arufa is a melee-type. In sealed form, it takes the shape of a large ceremonial Japanese Nodachi.

Relationships
Ai Shiro - Wants to be his Vice badly.

Trivia

 * Ai named him after the Yoido spell "Keikatsu"
 * Funnily, his Zanpakuto is longer than he is tall. He carries it very akwardly, in hand.
 * He's strong enough to pick up a Gillian and throw it like a football.
