Character Outline

Iemura is very vain, likes to act cool, and thinks he will look better without glasses. 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. His speedy treatments rival those of the lieutenant, Isane Kotetsu.[3]

Synopsis

Soul Society arc

He is first shown directing the relief team of the 4th Division while being on the front lines himself.[4] 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[5]. After most of the intruders (Uryū Ishida, Chad, Ganju) 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 Inoue'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. [6] 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.

Powers & Abilities

Healer: His skills are known to rival the likes of his division's Lieutenant, Isane Kotetsu.

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 only used his sword once in the manga against 8th Seat Harunobu Ogidō after the latter annoyed him. It resembles a regular katana with a square shaped guard.[7]
