He wasn’t always like that, he’s kind and carring and will mostly throw himself in harm’s way if it meant during what was right. He protects his subordinates more than a captain should in most eyes.

History:
Life on Earth:
Akihiko lived during the Great War in Japan the clash of the samurai’s and he was a great leader back then leading his army into great victory and honor. Of course this didn’t come without gaining enemies; he was feared in his life, just as much as he was feared for. The sake of his wellbeing was in constant danger, both due to his enemies and due to the way he fought, most leader held themselves back yet he continued to join in on the battlefield it was rumored that was why he won each time. It was rumored that was why he won. Is enemies went to different measures in an attempt to fight him, not on the battlefield but in assassination. But alas his skill made him the victor both in single combat and against multiple.
Until one day…
Akihiko had put a halt into wars, and now was focusing on keeping the land he had safe. And just that led him away from the capital, as it was attacked; he made quick process of them though they were many. He had his trusted guards with him, though a messenger came and told him the capital was under attack. He was quick at dismissing it as he thought the capital would be near impossible to breach; the messenger shook his head and reported it had already been breached. Now the question was to how, Akihiko left his knights, to hold the rest, while he hurried to the capital he was encouraged not to though he couldn’t let the villages unprotected, his plan was to give them a chance of escaping. He reached there, and found a guy he quickly narrowed down to be his former commander, one which he had exiled long ago. He was by far the most skilled man he had ever trained but he knew he could easily take him on, even with his little army. And so he did, though in the combat Akihiko was poisoned, and then the exiled commander simply let the soldiers attack him in order to let the poison do its work. This wasn’t a normal poison, it worked fast and unlike anything he had ever tried before. Else he should’ve been resistant. No the commander had gotten help, but who could’ve helped him? Akihiko brought his final breath, to face the commander, who stood there where a smug, holding his sword ready, to deliver the final clash, and then Akihiko charged up his might to deliver the final clash. They rushed towards each other; Akihiko knew this would be the end drawing out his last remaining power into this clash, literally, all he wanted was to bring this guy down with him. The Clash ended in an explosion. And that was the day, Akihiko the ancient superhuman died, not knowing whether he had succeeded or not.
Between Life and the After Life:
As Akihiko drifted away, he was filled with a sudden urge of peace and serenity ready face whatever lied bare on the side of afterlife, he was joined by his comrades on the journey, those who had fallen that same day. They greeted him, with smiles on their faces, but for some reason they were raveling faster than him, no not faster he had actually stopped. But why suddenly he felt a spike in pain within him. His soul twisted and turned about, trying to figure out what was going on. His eyes widened as a black fluid seemed to seep out of him, and into a black figure slowly, it was the poison, this was why he had so much trouble resisting it, it was a poison that affected the inflicted soul. The exiled did not only want him to die, he wanted to conflict eternal torture.
The Dark substance melded into a completely dark figure, looking just like him, only completely black. Akihiko stood, shocked looking around him, peaceful souls drifting into the afterlife, something he’d want to join, he then tried to drift around; he was only met by a punch to the face. It would seem the only way to get through this was to fight, but he felt weaker and he seemed as strong as he had been in his life. But he couldn’t just stay here anyway. So he started fighting, it was tough and long fight, the days turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. After a while Akihiko didn’t know how long has passed , only that thousands of days had passed. He had grown stronger but the poison hadn’t and after a long fight, he had surpassed the soul and finally he was going to deliver the final blow. But then the soul brought forward a sword, charging it up as he had done a millennium ago. And then they clashed Akihiko taking his time trying to outmatch it, the last thing he could remember, were a bright light, and then he passed out.
Afterlife:
Akihiko opened his eyes, his body feeling sore. As he looked around he found something he didn’t expect, dirt a lot of it and a sword, not sure how it had gotten there or where he was, he was wearing a white kimono who knows why but as he walked up he noticed he was in a crater and that crater was in some sort of garden. He soon found people running to the place, wearing black kimonos and wearing swords or so Daisuke put it out to be later he would learn the name of these swords, Zanpakuto was the same as the one he had, and he just didn’t know that yet. They all held the weapon pointed at him, saying something about Ryoka or something. Was this really the afterlife, more fights? He readied himself, for a fight, as a person, seemingly noble rushed out from the building the garden was leading to. Akihiko weren’t really able to catch much, as he passed out.
Next thing he knew was waking up in a bed, to his surprise, not some sort of cell bed, but a very comfortable bed. He slowly sat up noticing his bruises had healed a he felt a sudden urge of hunger in his stomach. To his surprise and joy, he found a table filled with food, which he was quick to jump into, eating pretty quickly, his hunger felt inhuman and so did the amount he ate. When he was finished his got up on his feet, stretched and saw the weapon he had reached here with he went over grabbed hold of it, and as he looked up his eyes crossed a mirror where to his surprise he saw himself only now he had grown horns. It made him jump in surprise at first but then he grew fascinated. His moment of surprise was quickly seen as a sign of him being awake. Soon he found himself in the midst of nobles of a family, a family where the head of this family had no heir but, the family was in the belief that everything happens for a reason, and they had taken him crashing down into their garden of all as a sign. Akihiko was shocked to say the least, but hardly at a place where he could dismiss what was happening. They spent an hour explaining where he was and how things worked here and at the end they held a proposal for him, one he didn’t have much choice but to accept. As it was he was seen as a thing called a Ryoka, an intruder so to speak. The family’s influence kept him safe for now, but as soon he left the place he would be ceased and locked up, unless he had accepted to become a member of the family and adoptive son of the head of the family. Of course after the dreadful realization, that this was the only way, he accepted.
The first month he spend in doors, not sure weather is was the fright of how people would treat him in this world or just that he didn’t know what he could do out there. He used most of his times reading learning proper etiquette in this place. But that reading soon led to one question, who was those people in the in the dark ropes, and why did he have this sword with him. He didn’t recognize it from his previous life after all.
These ventures of reading led him to some facts, some he would soon come to realize collapsed as he was to be taught into the arts of a shinigami. The family knew what the weapon was and knew from the moment he was accepted into their family, that he was going to be a good way to represent the family among the shinigami, as it was only a very few select people that would have discovered their Zan before even entering the academy. In their years he was newly born, so that promised greatness. But he knew he was hundreds of years old already, and those hundreds of years were spent training sort of. So he was sent off to become a shinigami, having to go through the academy as anyone else, and while his power was great, his knowledge about this world was greatly appreciated. So he didn’t show off, if he had he could’ve graduated pretty quickly, but he took his time, and the years to learn everything thoroughly before showing his might. He didn’t know why he choose the day he did, it was just as if something told him it was just the right time just the right fight. And it was, as a vice captain of one of the divisions where watching. And as he saw the might Akihiko fought with he immediately worked for his recruitment.
Akihiko was granted a seat, which brought back honor to the noble family where he was greatly admired by his adoptive parents, who seemed so proud of him. To Akihiko all the members of the family seemed to praise him for the accomplishment.
The days went by and he did his all in the division bonded well, and proceeded to grow, as if this place had become second nature to him. He just inspired others. And before long his Zan finally found him worthy to receive the knowledge of its name. Doragon Hanbun which meant Half Dragon he would soon come to find out as the name is was the female dragon, he found it weird at first, but the voice was rather feminine after all, it always had sort of soothing to him.
His name rose through the ranks, and he soon gained the title Kaiser, he didn’t know why it just seemed to fit to him. He knew it was on the blade, but he also knew it had something to do with his past life, perhaps his name or title back then. IT didn’t matter much to him, he took it too him as a measure of pride as much as responsibility he would fight to preserve others, and that drive made him progress rapidly. That progress led his Zan to reveal its true name within matter of moments, and as she did she also informed him of what had happened between his two lives. He soon realized his power wasn’t brought down upon him, but earned. It made him feel at ease, he didn’t want to be that wonder kid that arrived once in a millennium, he was just a guy who had to fight a lot to even get here. Not that he was going to reveal that secret to anyone, as being thought of as a prodigy made people look up to him, and count on him that much more.
After having attained Bankai he took a leave from the division’s duty for soul searching, well in all he was going out to train in the mastery of his Ban. Which he was completely devoted to; his vice-captain didn’t trust him though. He didn’t believe Akihiko would just suddenly take a leave and to go soul searching. So he had a sent a scout to keep watch, it surprised him as much as anyone to know he had achieved Bankai that knowledge set things into motion, all while Akihiko was unknowingly training on by himself. He was gone for months, in hardcore training. He returned battered feeling sated, but was met by a political ambush. First from his family having been in negations the past weeks about the role of captain being possible, all in all their word wouldn’t matter. All that mattered was getting those captains approval to become captain, of course he accepted the chance to prove himself. IT was a rough challenge but he came out with a barely passing grade, he was strong but so was needed of a captain, it hadn’t been a flawless approval but it was a good enough approval. Now Akihiko was looking forward to a life full of responsibilities of his division, of course he would still need to represent “his” family.
