The mentor of his son, Ryūken, and grandson, Uryū, Sōken (born March 22) was a kind old man whom Uryū admired. He preached an unusual variant of Quincy philosophy advocating cooperation with the shinigami, so that the Quincy could operate as a first-response squad, defending humans while they waited for the shinigami to arrive. Sōken was killed by hollows while shinigami forces were purposely held back by Mayuri Kurotsuchi so he could study Sōken's soul for his research. His death is the primary reason Uryū hates the shinigami, although after learning of the conspiracy Uryū's hatred has become less for shinigami in general than for Mayuri in particular.
