After his graduation from the Seireitei Academy, he was made a seated officer. During one of his missions in our world, he came across the guitar and brought one back with him to practise even though he hadn't played it before. As those around him commented that it was "noisy", he practises with the guitar in the mountains in Rukongai. By accident, he got to know that the Ryoka, Sado Yasutora, is able to play the guitar, so he asked for his guidance and from then, he is able to play the instrument. At present, the chief editor - Tousen is missing, therefore he is taking over much of the editorial duties, and in the process reduced much of his practising time. However, he hopes to organize a band in the future, and unveil it to everyone (Rangiku to be precise). His new serial article, "Please Teach Me! Shuuhei Sensei!!" did very badly in its first popularity ranking, being among the last 3. Was it because of him going missing in action for three days from the editorial room, in his effort to search for the postcard Rangiku that sent for one of the surveys?

As a favourite disciple of Genryuusai, Captain Kyouraku followed his teacher's orders and took command of the 8th division. However, the true authority in the division probably lies in the hands of the vice-captain...

Special Information (Top Secret)
The romance novel, "Rose-coloured Path" that was published in the Seireitei Communication was penned by him but it was unpopular to the point that he received neither fan letters, nor birthday presents. However, his photograph collection named, "Using Arms as My Pillow" had an unexplainable sold-out popularity. According to him, "My little kittens are shy creatures", hence he did not notice that the serialization's ranking is amongst the lowest. Incidentally, the first edition of "Using Arms as My Pillow" had lesser copies printed as compared to photograph collections by other captains, and as to why it was not reprinted now, he probably doesn't know too.
