Kenpachi Zaraki Friends

Initially, Kenpachi battled Ichigo when he came into Soul Society as a ryoka. However, after his defeat at his hands Kenpachi has begun to work with Ichigo, even rebelling against the orders of the Soul Society on occasion.

Ikkaku is the 3rd Seat of the 11th Division under Kenpachi. He is loyal to his captain, and will only work under Kenpachi. During his time in the Seritei, he fought against Kenpachi, but Kenpachi was not willing to kill him, and instead urged him to keep training and come after him again.

Yachiru Kusajishi is the Lieutenant of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 under Captain Kenpachi Zaraki.

Yumichika Ayasegawa is the 5th seated member of the 11th Protection Squad of Soul Society. He is extremely vain and seemingly frivolous, but much more powerful than his rank would suggest. He maintains a close friendship with Ikkaku Madarame and is very loyal to his captain, Zaraki Kenpachi.
