The co-3rd seat of the 13th Division who competes with Sentarou for Captain Ukitake's approval.
Kiyone Kotetsu (虎徹 清音, Kotetsu Kiyone) is the lieutenant of the Fourth Division under her sister Isane Kotetsu. She is also the former co-3rd Seat officer of the Thirteenth Division in the Gotei 13 under Captain Jūshirō Ukitake. She shared her previous position with Sentarō Kotsubaki.
Appearance
Kiyone is petite, has dark blond hair and gray eyes. She wears a standard Shinigami shihakushō with the collar of a white shirt protruding over her top and white gloves. Ten years after the defeat of Yhwach, Kiyone's hair has grown longer, and wears a lieutenant badge over her left arm.
Personality
Kiyone is the younger sister of Isane Kotetsu, the captain of the Fourth Division. Unlike her sister, Kiyone is very open and excitable, but she does share Isane's sense of loyalty.
She holds her captain, Jūshirō Ukitake, in high regard and always tries to impress him in any way possible, even if she has to ruin her partner Sentarō Kotsubaki to do so. She frequently engages in competition with Sentarō over who admires and/or loves him more, much to Ukitake's exasperation. Like other female Shinigami, she is a member of the Shinigami Women's Association.
She is even willing to help Suì-Fēng pin Ukitake to a tree with kunai knives and slash open his clothing so she can have "sexy" photos of him, although she does jabber "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" while she photographs him.
