Yoruichi Shihōin

四楓院夜一

The talking black cat at the Urahara Shop is really Yoruichi Shihōin, former captain of the Second Division and commander of the Stealth Force, the fastest fighter in the Soul Society.

Heir to one of the four great houses, she gave it all up a hundred years ago to help Urahara and the Visored escape. She guides the ryoka into the Soul Society, trains Ichigo for Bankai and faces her pupil Soi Fon with Shunkō. In the final battle she fights Askin in her Shunkō Raijin Senki form.
