While Hijikataken will dutifully do everything that is important to work towards his goal, he might not naturally see or value the importance of goals which are outside of their practical scope.

His features show a killing intent with his deep piercing brown eyes and a light X- shaped scar that was given to him in battle against the arrancars and hollows. He is in tip top shape and looks young for his age.
History/Background: Hijikataken was born in the human world. His father had left his mother sometime before, so she was the only one who could take care of Hijikataken. During his childhood in Japan, Hijikataken grew very close to his mother and never left her side. Anytime she needed help or someone to talk to, Hijikataken would always comfort her. Throughout his life many strange happenings occurred for him. When he was 11, he was awake every night calling for his mother. Each night she would run to his room to heed his call and every night it was the same. "Mom! There's an old man with cat eyes staring at me over my bed. He has some chain over his chest, Mommy I-" She calmed him down and told him nothing was there as he continued to look over her shoulder seeing the man laughing at him.
A few weeks pass of these, until one night as the man creeps forward continuously laughing at Hijikataken. The fear in his heart is real and before he can scream, a new figure dashes into the room. The black-robed figure grabs the old man and disappears into the night with him. Hijikataken has no idea what just happened. He runs to his window and looks out...nothing. He looks at his feet and sees a necklace with a small (hollow) mask on it. For weeks he goes around asking if anyone has lost the necklace, no person answers, so he decides to keep it. On Hijikataken's 16th birthday he receives a very interesting gift at his door. He immediately opens it in front of his mother to reveal a kindo stick. He is very grateful for it even though he has no idea who it is from, but somehow, his mother seems to as she stares at the label on on the gift. "Soul Society."
When he graduated from High School Hijikataken decided to move to America for a while to experience something new. His mother is very supportive and it is a hard thing for him to do by leaving her, but he feels it is the right thing to do. Two years go by, Hijikataken and his mother have been in contact oversees via letters and phone. Neither have seen the other in person yet and Hijikataken decides it is time for him to come home. His mother is excited and she books him a flight to his hometown. On his way to his home, Hijikataken grabs a bouquet of flowers for his mother to show her he did miss her. As he opens the door to his house he sees a horrific thing. A white masked human-like creature standing over his mother's lifeless body. The monster roars in laughter as he sees Hijikataken walk in. He taunts Hijikataken as he inches forward transforming himself into a human with part of his old mask still on his face. Hijikataken yells in anger and grabs the kindo stick still in his home and rushes forward not knowing what he is doing. The man laughs and lunges forward transforming back into the creature.
The beast rips and tears through Hijikataken, but he continues to fight the lost battle. Just before the creature can end it by devouring him, a familiar figure rushes in and cuts the beast down. Hijikataken has lost a large sum of blood and before he can see who it was, he dies. He awakens to find himself in the Seireite of the Soul Society. The man who saved his soul from being devoured and saved him from the old man, is his father. A soul reaper in the Gotei 13. Many years ago he traveled to the human world and met Hijikataken's mother, which whom he fell in love with. Just before Hijikataken was born, he was called back to the Soul Society. The beast who killed Hijikataken and devoured his mother's soul was an Arrancar. Hijikataken wasn't able to deal with the grief of his loss and became angry with his father for not coming sooner. As time passed, he forgave his father and was persuaded to join the Soul Academy. He trained for many years and on the day of his graduation, his father was sent to Hueco Muendo to investigate the Arrancars as he was a part of the Research and Development in Soul Society. Days later, word got back that he had been killed by the Hollows and Arrancars in the area. It is his loyal duty to the Soul Society that Hijikataken eliminates the Arrancars to avenge what has been lost.
