Tousen Kaname, the 9th division captain stands tall in the name of justice. Alluding to the blind strength of justice, Tousen believes that whatever path he takes shall be the best in the long run for everyone. 

Bleach Manga information supports that Tousen’s unwavering resolution is possibly due to someone he once cared for (possibly mother, wife/love or ally) died or was killed. His desire to protect everyone from then on out developed and allowed him to hone his skllls and eventually become a captain.

Along his path to become a captain, Tousen developed a lasting friendship with 7th division captain Komumura Sajin. “Looking” past Komumura’s odd appearance as a giant man with the face of a fox, Tousen discovered that Komumura desired a world of the least amount of violence. The spectrum of their friendship is seen as they fight 11th division captain Zaraki Kenpachi. Fighting together against Kenpachi, the two unleash both their shikai and bankai. 

After striking Kenpachi with Benihikou ‘Crimson Locust’ and realizing his monstrous power, Tousen unleashed Enma Koorogi. Believing that he held the upper hand, Tousen struck at Kenpachi. But, being the beast that he is, Kenpachi grabbed a hold of Suzumushi as Tousen stabbed him with an almost fatal blow. Tousen almost lost his life as Kenpachi slashed Tousen rather deeply.

Because Tousen lives his life by his code of justice, he ultimately ends up betraying the Gotei 13 and all of Soul Society. Seeing that this path will lead to the least amount of bloodshed, Tousen follows Aizen along with Gin to Heuco Mundo in the hollow realm.
