The Captain Commander of the 13 Court Guardian Squads and the founder of the Shinigami Academy
Bleach: Role in Story
Yamamoto makes his first appearance when he calls a meeting for the captains. In this meeting the matter on hand is Gin failing to kill Ichigo who had invaded the outskirts of soul society. As soon as the meeting starts Kenpachi and Gin begin to argue about Ichimaru's inabilty to deal with a threat that he should have taken care of easily. Ichimaru of course mocks Kenpachi. The arguement seems to frustrate Yamamoto who demands an explenation from the captain. Ichimaru instead cant give one. The meeting soon ends when things are put on full alert when the ryoka invade.During the execution of Rukia Kutchiki Yamamoto is present and witness to his two most prized students assisting in the stopping of Rukia's execution. Yamamoto is both angry and upset by their act and believes both should be punished for their crimes. Shunsui and Ukitake move to another location, but Yamamoto soon catches up and engages the two in a fight. At the start of the fight Nano realizes that there chances are slim and she soon see's why,as soon as she becomes overwhelmed by Yamamoto's spiritual pressure. He calls her a child when she collapses under the pressure. Shunsui then takes her away. Upon returning he compliments Shusui's use of flash steps and talks about the past. He then draws his zanpakuto and the three engage in a fight. The battle suddenly is forced to stop with the announcement of Isane on the true intentions of Aizen leading to all of the chaos in Soul Society.
During the Bount Arc, Yamamoto thinks that Mayuri Kurotsuchi is betraying the Soul Society. In turn he orders Byukuya to investigate any available information on the the Bounts. He later holds a meeting with the remaining captains and tells them about the Bounts invading Rukongai and the Bount's origins.
During the Arrancar Arc, Yamamoto made his first appearance by having a conversation over video to Toshiro over Aizen's army invading Karakura Town and allows Momo to speak with him. Once the conversation begins to revolve around Aizen, Momo begs Toshiroto rescue Aizen, believing that Gin Ichimaru is manipulating him. Yamamoto cuts their conversation short by knocking Momo unconscious with a Kido. Later when Orihime is captured he orders Toshiro's team to retreat back to Soul Society in preparation for the war against Aizen, and firmly disapproves of the idea of Ichigo and the others going to her rescue, seeing it as a suicide mission, and believing that Orihime willingly betrayed them.
After the Arrancar Arc, Yamamoto is shown presiding over Shusuke Amagai being appointed captain of third squad. Once earning his fellow captain's trust, Amagai uses his position to attempt to exact revenge against Yamamoto, believing that he killed his father.
Zanpakuto
Named the Ryujin Jakka, it is the oldest and the most powerful fire-based Zanpakuto ever known. It is an attack-oriented Zanpakuto, making it the Zanpakuto with the greatest attack power in all of Soul Society.
In its sealed form, Ryujin Jakka appears to be a harmless walking staff. When released, it turns into a katana with a dark purple handle and a circular handguard.
Upon the command of “Bansho issai kaijin to nase” (All things of this world, turn to ashes), Ryujin Jakka goes into Shikai (Initial Release). Yamamoto himself and the surrounding area immediately gets engulfs in strong flames. With a wave of the Zanpakuto, intense fire burns whatever is in its way.
