Mashiro
Kuna (久南 白 Kuna Mashiro) is the former lieutenant
of the 9th Division under Kensei. She is a somewhat carefree-crazy girl who is
prone to throwing fits for the smallest of things, such as Orihime befriending
Hachi or when Kensei insisted on following his subordinates into battle. Her
overall style of dress is reminiscent of the costumes worn by the tokusatsusuperheroes of late 1970s Japanese television,
particularly those of the Kamen Rider Series. Even her attacks are announced like a Tokusatsu
superhero. She often calls Ichigo Berry-tan (or "Berry
Boy" in the English manga, and "Carrot Top" in the anime), a pun
on Ichigo's name ("ichigo" in Japanese also means
"strawberry"). Unlike the other Vizards and Ichigo who have to
undergo a type of training to control their hollows, Mashiro was able to
maintain her hollow mask for fifteen hours on her first attempt to control her
hollow. Mashiro's hollow power gives her exceptional physical strength as she
easily decapitated several Menos Grande and the giant hollow which was brought
by Wonderweiss Margera subsequently engaged in battle with him. However, in the
mid-battle with Wonderweiss Margera her mask shatters well before her time limit
was up causing Kensei to intervene. Her mask resembles a grasshopper's head, another reference to Kamen Rider.
Mashiro loves to engage in battle by combining her physical strength and hollow
power rather than using her zanpakutō, the name of which is still unknown
