Plot

Soul Society arc

The gang is first seen stopping Uryū, Chad and Orihime from assisting Ichigo who is fighting their boss.

Bount arc

Two gang members, Hawk and Fever, are hanging out in a Kusajishi casino when Jin Kariya enters the place to make a bid for the locals to invade the Seireitei. The two sneak out at the first sign of trouble and run to report what they saw to Kūkaku. Claiming to have gone there to do research, they are punished by Kūkaku for having done something forbidden and for lying about it.

The gang later accompanies Chad, Uryū and Orihime on a trip to Kusajishi to confront Kariya and the Bounts. Unfortunately, only Ichigo, who distrusts the boars makes it, since all the others are lost in the forest under Ganju's failed guidance.

Sadatomo Saionji

Taichi Miyamoto

He is a thin man wearing a short pink kimono decorated with hearts, somewhat resembling Yumichika Ayasegawa's attire before becoming a Shinigami. His dark green hair is cut short except in the front where it is grown long and combed over his right eye, much like Izuru Kira's hair, who has his left eye covered. Cindy, the boar he rides, has a triangle of black hair on its forehead, echoing his own hairstyle.

Taichi always has a large alarm clock strapped to his back, meant to remind the gang's leader of his designated curfew hour.

Tite Kubo characterizes him as Ganju's No. 1 follower and a good cook.
