Takahara Yasuhiro (高原康弘, Yasuhiro Takahara), known formerly as Raiden (雷電), was the former lieutenant of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 under Tadashi Kori. He was replaced, at first unofficially and then officially by Izaya Masaharu, following fears of his true allegiance. Subordinate to Shori Keihatsu, Takahara is an agent of the Collective Vices, who fed them information on the Soul Society throughout his tenure as lieutenant, with only a select few individuals having doubts about him. Takahara is also one of the surviving Modified Souls of Project Nijū and, as a result, capable of performing the powerful Tsuinkai release.
