MaleAge and DOB: (Age Unknown), November 19
Looks:
Kenpachi is a muscular man with a wild and aggressive appearance that fits his personality. He wears a sleeveless captain's haori that has a ragged look to it. He styles his spiked-hair with small bells at its tips and wears a special eyepatch on his right eye. The eyepatch is elegant having a gold-like lining and a chain as one of the straps. He has green eyes, pronounced hairless eyebrow ridges and a huge scar running down the left side of his face. He is also extremly tall, towering over most at 202 centimeters (approximately 6 feet 6 inches). His stature is often exaggerated even more for dramatic purposes.
Kenpachi's unique hairstyle is partly due to the result of his habit to take a bath everyday before going to sleep, which is a necessity to him due to his strong perspiration. During these baths, he usually washes his hair with soap, making it stiff. He enjoys doing so because it's easy for him to set his hair to his preferred style. He once tried a hair treatment recommended by a friend, but his hair became too silky and was impossible to set for a while. Since then, Kenpachi has greatly disliked the man.
Kenpachi is once shown attaching the bells to his hair, which apparently takes a while to accomplish. The highest bell in particular takes him several hours to attach, as the tip of his hair is just beyond his reach. Occasionally, another friend offers to do it for him, only to be turned down by Kenpachi due to thinking that it's weird for someone else to style his hair.

Personality:
Although he's known to be a violent fighter, Kenpachi's actions tend to be for the best. He has a very poor sense of direction, at times asking for help. Kenpachi lives for battle and enjoys a good fight more than anything. He even holds back in an effort to make any fight last longer. He also claims that injury and death are nothing but the price one pays for a good fight.
Although he thrives for battle, Kenpachi has shown to have emotions. Kenpachi and his friend, Yachiru, have been close ever since they met and have a father-daughter-like relationship.
Aside from Yachiru, Kenpachi deeply gives meaning to his name. Following his fight with Ichigo Kurosaki, Kenpachi talks about the pain of not having a name, as he lived his early years without one. This causes him to feel guilty that his sword isn't acknowledged by its own name. Since then, he has strived to learn its identity.
Despite his tendency to be brutal, Kenpachi usually stops a fight if his opponent is too injured to fight back, claiming that he isn't interested in fighting "weaklings who can't fight anymore; nor is he obligated to deal a death blow to anyone who isn't capable of fighting any longer". However, he will unhesitatingly kill his opponent if they refuse to end their fight, as seen during his battles with Kaname Tōsen and Nnoitra Gilga.
On multiple occasions, Kenpachi has shown to greatly respect those who can defeat him in a fight and to those who can push him to his limit. Ever since Ichigo handed him his first known loss (though Ichigo also considers their fight a loss for him), Kenpachi has considered the latter a member of his division. He also expresses his willingness to engage him in a rematch every time they meet, only to be turned down as Ichigo already considers themselves as friends. Nevertheless, Kenpachi still challenges him in a duel, as evidenced when he aided Ichigo in his fight against the Bount (where he gave "his blessing," stating that in doing so would make Ichigo stronger for "their anticipated fight").
Kenpachi also strongly believes that fun comes before working. In every battle, he tries to get as much enjoyment out of it as possible. One example is when Kenpachi sends his his officer, Yumichika, to fend off the Bount in Karakura Town, as he is the only high-ranking officer who wasn't busy, or rather, busy having fun; as Yachiru was snacking and Ikkaku was napping. During his free time, Kenpachi always takes his afternoon nap. He doesn't have a particularly favorite dish, but he particularly hates nattō.
It seems that Kenpachi sometimes contradicts his own logic in fighting. On the one hand, Kenpachi wishes to increase his own personal power. On the other hand, he conceals his strength to enjoy a fight for as long as possible. Irrational to a certain extent, Kenpachi is very complex in character, as he exhibits a wide range of traits, being: lethargic, bloodthirsty, rebellious, empathetic, and wise.

My Abilities and Weapons:
Zanpakutō:
Katana:
On his left side, Kenpacgi wears a katana. The katana (刀) is a type of Japanese sword (日本刀, nihontō), also commonly referred to as a "samurai sword", and generally defined as the standard size moderately curved (as opposed to the older "tachi" style featuring more curvature) Japanese sword with a blade length greater than 60 cm (23.6 inches).[2]
The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. It has historically been associated with the samurai of feudal Japan, and has become renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability. To show his uniqueness in fighting and strength of will, he brings a different katana into every battle.
Ninjatō:
On his back, Kenpachi carries two, long Ninjatō. It was the most common name for the Japanese sword that the ninja were thought to have carried. It is often depicted as being a short sword, often portrayed as having a straight blade with a square tsuba. There is no historical evidence of the 'ninjato' and modern depictions of the sword originate from portrayals that were seen in early Hollywood movies. Actual period ninjas used a variety of other weapons as well.
Tantō:
A Tantō is a small katana. Kenpachi wears his on the side opposite his sword on his back. It is double-edged with a black base and case.

Shikai:
The blade is much longer than that of a standard Zanpakutō, roughly the size of a nodachi with a guard that extends inward from its center similar to a shinai. The hilt is white although most of it is wrapped in bandages, as is his sword's sheath. It is a chipped and seemingly worn-down blade. It is worn on his right side, and is his favorite of his swords.

Samurai Arsenal:
As a samurai, Kenpachi is unable, like all samura, to use any kind of Ninjutsu. In its place, Kenpachi carries scrolls and small bags of weaponry. Some of these weapons include a Yumi, or long bow, a pair of two Kusarigama, or chain and sicle, up each sleeve, caltrops, as well as an assortment of other basic weaponry, hidden away in small scrolls.
