Summary
Hiyori Sarugaki once served as a lieutenant in the 12th Division under Captain Kirio Hikifune and later Kisuke Urahara. She considered Hikifune a mother figure and was initially resistant to accepting Urahara as her successor. A petite girl with blonde hair styled in pigtails, Hiyori possesses a fiery temper and violent streaks. She is typically seen in a red jogging suit adorned with the kanji for "monkey" (saru), which forms the first part of her surname, and features a small fang on the left side of her mouth. Hiyori frequently harasses Shinji Hirako, often slapping him with her sandal or using him as a human shield, a dynamic that persisted from her lieutenant days even though Shinji held a higher rank at the time. Among the Visoreds, excluding Ichigo who took a similar duration, Hiyori struggled the longest to defeat her inner hollow, a process that took exactly 69 minutes and 2 seconds. Her zanpakutō appears standard, featuring a tsuba decorated with small hearts that contrasts sharply with her tough demeanor. She carries her sword over her right shoulder, mirroring Ichigo’s style. When donning her hollow mask, it resembles a standard hollow design but includes a prominent horn and pink stripes along the top.
