Yasochika Iemura (伊江村 八十千和, Iemura Yasochika) is the 3rd Seat officer of the 4th Division, and the leader of the first relief team serving under Captain Retsu Unohana. He is also the Vice-President of the Shinigami Men's Association.[3]

Contents

Appearance

Iemura has swept back, blonde hair and wears glasses. He wears the standard Shinigami uniform, sometimes with the 4th Division medical kit.

Personality

Iemura is very vain, enjoys acting cool, and thinks he will look better without glasses.[4] He was born on a leap day, February 29. His rank is quite high, but since he comes from the weakest division in terms of combat he has to call the other division's 3rd seats with a -sama suffix. He meticulously keeps a diary, which he sometimes defeats the purpose of by narrating what he's writing in it (particularly when lamenting something). He takes direct command of the Division like a general.

History

In order to increase his handsomeness, Iemura searched Soul Society for contact lenses, but was unable to find any. When he heard rumors of a renegade Shinigami selling contacts for Shinigami in the Human World, Iemura used his self-proclaimed fame and handsomeness to get around the ban on 4th Division members going to the Human World in order to find the contact lenses seller. When the rogue Shinigami instead offered him laser surgery using tiny beams of Reishi, Iemura thought it sounded too good to be true. Upon seeing the machine that performed the surgery, and noticing the dark eye shadow on the Shinigami's face that resembled burn marks, he chickened out. Due to certain unspecified problems, he can no longer go to the Human World, leaving him wondering what would have happened if he had tried the surgery and if he would still be single.[5]

Plot

Soul Society arc

He is first shown directing the relief team of the 4th Division while being on the front lines himself.[6] He is shown briefing all the Division's Lieutenants after the 11th Division suffers multiple losses due to injures including 3rd seat Ikkaku Madarame and 5th seat Yumichika Ayasegawa[7]. After most of the intruders (Uryū Ishida, Yasutora Sado, Ganju Shiba) are taken for medical treatment, he is shown documenting the recent events in Soul Society, while not noticing that he is speaking out loud. Later, after Aizen revealed his treachery, he is seen directing the relief teams to treat all the injured. He also notes Inoue Orihime's healing abilities, wondering what technique she was using and how its healing speed surpassed that of his and Lieutenant Kotetsu's as well pondering the possibility of winning Orihime's heart with his 3rd seat position if she joined the 4th Division. He is then seen drawing his Zanpakutō briefly on 8th Seat Harunobu Ogidō for "annoying him", but went to greet Captain Unohana as she arrived. [8] Through the rest of the story he is mostly seen in omake chapters, usually involving both his Division captain and lieutenant. Iemura is also the Vice-President of the Shinigami Men's Association under President Tetsuzaemon Iba.

Beast Swords arc (anime only)

Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.

Iemura is seen in the restroom along with Tetsuzaemon Iba and Izuru Kira by Zabimaru and Senbonzakura when they accidentally discover the 12th Division's secret surveillance system of all of Seireitei in the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. He is then seen very briefly (between Minazuki and Tobiume ), along with a number of other officers of the Gotei 13 and their Zanpakutō, as they confront both Zabimaru and Senbonzakura when they accidentally destroy the buildings of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. [9]

Gotei 13 Invading Army arc (anime only)

Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.

As the Reigai army meets, Iemura converses with his captain outside.[10]

Thousand Year Blood War arc

After the Vandenreich leave Soul Society, Iemura heads up a unit of the 4th Division, giving orders to groups to head to area 56 while others stay with him. He tells them to move the corpses to the back as transporting the injured is their first priority.[11]

Powers & Abilities

Healer: His speedy treatments are known to rival those of his Division's lieutenant, Isane Kotetsu.[12]

Kidō Practitioner: As a member of the 4th Division and its 3rd Seat, he is quite proficient in the use of healing Kidō.

Zanpakutō

Iemura's sword resembles a regular katana with a square-shaped guard.[13]

Quotes

  • (Writing in his diary) "I can only wonder, what would have happened if I had tried the surgery. Could I have become the next Soul Society Idol? Would I still be single?"[14]
  • (About Orihime Inoue) "If someone like that would join our Division, I can definitely use my status as the 3rd Seat to do her in to my heart's content." (May just be Harunobu Ogidō voicing it for humor)[15]
