edit Appearance
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai

Considered to be the strongest captain in the Gotei 13, Yamamoto is depicted as an old man with a very long beard, and long eyebrows. There are many scars on his torso and head, the most seen is a star-shaped one above his right eye, suggesting numerous battles in his past. He wears the standard Shinigami uniform, but its size is greatly exaggerated. He also drapes his haori over his back instead of actually wearing it.

Despite his old age and frail appearance, he has a very muscular body, something he only reveals when he takes a curtain battle stand, something Shunsui claims is not seen so often.
edit Personality

As the general of Gotei 13, Yamamoto is highly respected by most of the Shinigami, most notably Sajin Komamura, who views Yamamoto as a benefactor who saved his life. The embodiment of conviction, Yamamoto follows the laws and regulations of Soul Society to the letter, and expects the same of others. He is not a man to tolerate insubordination, and is vocal with those who attempt to be such a way. He is quick to anger in the face of possible betrayal, and appears rather ruthless in combat. When in a state of peace, he carries himself with an air of frailty, even to the point where he has fallen asleep standing while awaiting Shunsui Kyōraku's arrival for a meeting. He considers Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake like his sons. Kyōraku calls him Yamamoto "-jii-san" or "Yama-jii" (Old-Man Yama in the English Dub), while Ukitake calls him "Genryuusai-sensei". In the Shūsuke Amagai arc, it has been shown that Ichigo calls him "Gramps". Yamamoto appreciates Eastern cultures and is a master at tea ceremony, but subsequently dislikes "Western" traditions as preferred by his lieutenant Chōjirō Sasakibe.[1]He could be in the Royal Guard but no one would be able to replace him.

Yamamoto holds a tea session every month in the 1st Division quarters for every member of the division. It is known that he plaits his own beard and arranges its ends once a month. He also likes to be rubbed down with a dry towel while exposed to the sun on his balcony.[1]
