Biography:
Koutetsu Isane is the vice captain of the Fourth Division, also known as the Medical Unit, under Unohana Retsu. Isane is the older sister of one of the third seat shinigami of the Thirteenth Division, Koutetsu Kiyone. She is very tall at 187 cm (around six feet). She has platinum blonde hair and dark eyebrows. Her hair has two hair wraps on the left, and is set off by a second set of hair wraps just behind her right ear. Her face is has both very distinctive eyelashes and a very pouty mouth. She wears the standard shinigami robes, which happen to show off her tall, slim figure. She also wears the vice captain insignia for her division on her arm.
Isane is very devoted to her captain, and appears to be somewhat insecure about herself. She seems to be very empathetic to others feelings. For instance, when Yamamoto tells Rukia that he will grant her request to return Ichigo, Orihime, Ishida, and Chad to the real world safely, Isane feels that it’s cruel to lie to her outright like that. However, Unohana points out that since Rukia’s death in inevitable, it is just as well to let her die with no regrets. After the mess with Aizen’s betrayal, Isane can’t sleep and doesn’t want to wake Kiyone. However, Unohana is awake and invites her vice captain to sit with her until she can sleep. The only case that we have seen Isane fight is in the brief seconds that she, Marechiyo, and Choujirou were ordered to stop the escape of Renji and Rukia. However, in the brief interaction with Ichigo, she was defeated as easily as the other two. In the middle of the mess, Unohana used her zanpakutou to help heal Marechiyo and Choujirou and used her own power to heal Isane, who had not been hit as hard as her male comrades.
Unohana then proceeds to take Isane with her to investigate the mysterious circumstances of Aizen’s death. Upon discovering Aizen alive and his vice captain, Hinamori Momo, and the captain of the Tenth Division, Hitsugaya Toushirou, with fatal wounds, Unohana and Isane listen in wonder, fear, and disgust as Aizen reveals his plot to them. He leaves with Third Division Captain Ichimaru Gin, Unohana orders Isane to contact all the active captains, vice captains, and, to Isane’s surprise, all the ryoka who have had contact with the Fourth Division. This means that the only ryoka to not be contacted is Orihime, the only one who wasn’t injured.
Isane appears to be close to her sister Kiyone, though Kiyone is obviously the more intimidating of the two. She is also a member of the Shinigami Women’s Association. Isane is loyal to her captain, and is proud to serve her. She appears to believe in fairness for all. Her nurturing personality is well suited to the Fourth Division.
