The Shiba Clan of Soul Society is well-known for their exceptional skill in fireworks and throwing parties, but their true claim to nobility is in their prowess in the arts of fighting. The Shibas have been a clan of extremely powerful warriors for ages, with the Main Family almost invariably having Zanpakuto that reflect either the sun or the moon. Fire, Water, Light, and everything in between have been seen, all being traced back to the two celestial bodies. There is also a tradition among the Main Family of naming their children after the animal that most represents them upon their birth.

Notable Members include:

MAIN FAMILY

Kuma Shiba - The Clan’s founder and the one that solidified their nobility. His Zanpakuto was noted for its ability to manipulate the tides and generate water. He was born around 3,500 years ago, and passed away approximately 2,400 years ago from damage suffered to his Saketsu and Hakusui. Who knew an erection lasting longer than four hours would do that to a Shinigami?... Supposedly, he was an original member of the Central 12.

Kitsune Shiba - The first Lieutenant of the First Division, who served directly under Akira Tanaka himself. Her Zanpakuto, Hiyakeshita Shojo, directly channeled the power of the sun, allowing her the ability to manipulate its flames. She took her position 2,450 years ago, alongside her Captain-Commander, and died a bit over 1,500 years ago in one of the final battles of the Second Great War, shortly after giving birth. Yeah, so maternity leave in the Gotei sucks in wartime...

Okami Shiba - The former Third Seat of the First Division, and the current Clan Head. One of the most decorated soldiers of the Gotei 13, his fall into disgrace was that much harder for it due to an incident that left him with an Inner Hollow. His Zanpakuto, Tsukiakari Shojo, is legendary due to the fact that she has the highest attack power of any blade, and has the ability to manipulate moonlight in it’s most raw form.
