Shinigami Robes

[RLMontague]

I was curious if anyone knew what the robes worn by the Squad Captains specificly: Kyouraku Shunsui That long baggy robe he wears over the normal robes were called?

[BWoods]

The white robes are given to each of the 13 Division Captains, It seems that the robes themselves change hands whenever a new Captain takes their position. The Kanji on the back of the robes signify what division they head up. Kyouraku's pink robe though, is more of a fashion item than anything as far as I can tell.

Yes, I think it has no speical signifance, just his personal taste in fashion, just like the hat.

I heard Byakuyas "head piece" was a sign of noblity though, which he is a noble.

I think the captains can make adjustments to their uniform...like soi fon's battle outfit and mayuri's err...scarf? A pity the squad members are unable to show off their fashion sense, though.

[RLMontague]

I'm asking what the robe itself that Kyouraku wears, is called? Like i don't think its a Kimono, and i know little more then trivial facts of the culture, and fashion.

But i'm interested in getting a robe like that.

I believe the white piece is called a haori. Im not sure about kyoraku's. I think its just a colored haori.

[Mobius]

agree with h0f5. its a pink flowered Haori

[SHiKaMaRi]

Yeah. It's called a haori. A pink one~

[Axdsilva]

What they said, well now that that's answered, do we continue about the Shinigamis fashion sense or leave this topic?

[Mobius]

i think this can be closed as the question has been answered

ohh but some do, such as the ever fashionable yumichika or abarai with his cool shades..

Ha ha or his tats. What about Kenpachi's hair, I found the one where he's putting a bell on in a Shinigami cup was golden (obviously a very bad pun)

[Undying]

Kenpachi's bells are woven into his hair. They cannot be removed.

Kyouraku simply wears a pink haori over his white one. :)
