Kasumi Kaburagi (鏑木=カスミ, Kaburagi Kasumi) is a Quincy. Unlike many other Quincy, he is part Shinigami, meaning he has been alive for a long time. He had personally not been around at the time of the Quincy Massacre, meaning that he had been in the dark about the slaughter of his bretheren until recently. Despite this, he is not hung up on the matter; preferring to live his life the way he had before learning of this tragic news. Kasumi travels Soul Society, in the hopes of finding another to settle down with. In a sharp contrast to his decidedly pacifistic goals and his gentle appearance, Kasumi is regarded as one of the most powerful Quincy to ever live.
