Ami Koshimizu
Voice ActorBorn February 15, 1986, Ami Koshimizu works in Japan as an actress and singer, having voiced roles across dozens of anime and games; in Bleach, produced at Studio Pierrot, she gave voice to Katen Kyokotsu.
Bleach Role
In Bleach, Koshimizu provided the voice for Katen Kyokotsu, the spirit residing within Squad 8 captain Shunsui Kyoraku's zanpakuto. The character appears during the anime's Zanpakuto arc, a story stretch original to the show in which the swords of the Gotei 13 captains and lieutenants take on human form. Her performance gave a distinct personality to a weapon spirit rather than a conventional cast member, one of several such spirit roles handled by veteran actresses during that stretch of episodes.
