Apperance: Yoshimo's appearance is very distinctive and is easy spotted among a crowd in his human form. He has white hair, which is mid length, hangs down to about his ears, and can completely cover his eye. His right eye his where his "hollow hole" is located, but this is covered by his white hair, and no one usually sees it. His appearance makes him look laughable, as he looks like regular citizen, someone without any powers at all. His green eye is his only trademark, but besides that the rest of him appears to be weak. He usually wears regular clothes, a white long sleeve t-shirt, brown pants and regulation black boots. However, Yoshimo is extremely strong, and this hides his lean, but strong build. The remnants of Yoshimo's mask is around his eye, similar to Nnoitra. it's basically just a round piece of mask, which covers a small region around the outside of his hollow hole. No one usually sees it, because his white hair blends with it, and covers his eyes most of the time. His build is suited both for a good amount of strength, but tailors more of a lean look, because of his height. He is 6'0 and weighs about 200 pounds, of course of muscle only. He rarely wears the Arrancar uniform, because he likes to keep simplistic look. But if told, he dons it, which really doesn't change his appearance at all, except that of his head, it makes it look large.
History: Originally Yoshimo was born with regular features. He was born with black eyes and brown hair, your average normal child. His parents died when he was young, and Yoshimo was forced to wander much of the world. He managed to find a small rural mountain away from all the wars and the violence. Before his parents died, Yoshimo learned how to feed himself from his father, and he had the ability to take care of himself as a small child. He fed and clothed himself every day, and survived in a small cave. Yoshimo wasn't alone, and he wasn't emotional. During the day he would walk to other villages and interact with people to keep him from going insane. Even though Yoshimo was a small child he would always ponder the death of his parents. As much as he knew, they were killed by a strange looking creature, something that appeared to be a large snake with a mask. After Yoshimo ran away in fear, he came back to his dead parent's blood stains. After crying for what seemed about a year, Yoshimo (8 yrs old) moved on and took care of himself, surviving off of fish and vegetables within the forest. His parents lived out in the country, surrounded by mountains and such, so going to town everyday was a new experience for Yoshimo, and he visited often.
Yoshimo was able to grow into a strong boy, by training everyday out in the forest alone. At 12 he had a high speed rate, and great strength. He could climb trees with one hand, and could catch small boar barehanded. Yoshimo trained for most of his life, but his true training began when he was 13. Yoshimo decided to go into town again, to get some vitamins for an injured leg. He'd injured it while trying to catch a large boar, but the boar managed to break free and attack him. Yoshimo visited a hospital, where they immediately took care of him without asking for much in return. At first, Yoshimo didn't know how hospitals worked; he assumed they were free treatment, like a giveaway for injuries. When presented with the bill and information from his parents Yoshimo couldn't say anything. The hospital was running low on money, and needed to be paid. They were going to put him in a foster home, so they could get re compensated from the government, but Yoshimo didn't want that either. Since the staff was low on help, and they couldn't pay anyone they decided to force Yoshimo to work for them, which he happily obliged. Yoshimo stayed with the hospital family for a long time, learning how to read and write, and also continuing with his training.
Yoshimo grew up to be a young man, and experienced a second sighting of hollow. This hollow however was small, and appeared to be shaped like dinosaur. The hollow had some smarts, because it decided to try to ambush Yoshimo's hospital, for free souls that couldn't fight back. The hollow was very weak, but very fast and fought his way through nearly half of the hospital staff before getting to Yoshimo. Yoshimo's training wasn't very great, but it allowed him a good amount of strength and speed. Yoshimo almost mastered a weak version on the "Shunpou" but his limits on speed were due to his lack in proper training. The Hollow attacked at least 75% of the staff and came for Yoshimo to finish his meal off. Yoshimo fought the hollow with his bare hands, and began to win. Yoshimo was able to kill the hollow, but was left with the hospital to rebuild. Since Yoshimo killed the hollow, the Shinigami were not informed and didn't take action, even though they were supposed to do. The police got involved, and Yoshimo knew they would. So after the attack, and the destroyed hospital, Yoshimo decided run again, keeping his identity hidden and his face a secret. Yoshimo couldn't come back to that part of the town, due to the patients he'd seen. If he was ever spotted, he would be arrested.
While living as a “fugitive”, Yoshimo experienced a lot of things that shaped his views on life. Since he didn’t have a place to say, Yoshimo decided to live within an old abandoned warehouse, which still had some electricity running in a few sockets. Stealing necessities, Yoshimo was basically able to turn the warehouse into his own home. Yoshimo lived there in solitude most of his life, becoming a grown man, that hadn’t even really seen life. Yoshimo knew that life was dark, and that other people didn’t care about others. Sometimes Yoshimo would beg for money, and every time he’d return home empty handed. Instead of getting angry at the public for not wanting to help him, Yoshimo decided to move on, and find his own ways at becoming successful. Yoshimo got a job as a katana sharpener with an old man that treated him like crap. Yoshimo gratefully accepted the job with the low pay and worked long hours just to go back home and live by himself. One day his boss came to work drunk. He decided to take a katana and cut Yoshimo with it. Yoshimo was lacerated in the arm, and still to this day as a permanent scar of the red-hot katana that pierced his arm. Yoshimo grew fed up and killed his boss with the same katana, holding hatred in his heart towards the man even after his death.
That’s when it happened. Yoshimo’s dark heart grew and grew, and so did his spiritual power. His face was blank and emotionless when killing and Yoshimo’s powers grew. In the darkness, he found himself more at home and more at peace with his soul. Instead of begging for money, Yoshimo went around killing those that had money, growing more and more hateful every day. One night after killing someone, Yoshimo was encountered with this third hollow. The hollow was monstrous and killed Yoshimo in one hit, smashing his chain of fate, which was oddly connoted to his eye. Yoshimo’s hollow hole grew, and in the midst of all the pain and agony, he never once cried out or shed a tear. To Yoshimo the pain of becoming a hollow was finally becoming one with the darkness, finally being able to become the darkness, and become what his soul had already been for so long.
Decades passed, and Yoshimo grew as a hollow. His shadowy like body and his plain mask helped him defeat hollow after hollow. Since Yoshimo’s personality was already so close to his hollows form personality, he never had a problem about losing his identity to his hatred. Yoshimo’s search for darkness continued as he ate hollows, becoming stronger and eventually becoming a Gillian. As a Gillian, Yoshimo began to grow more in tune with his personality, and began to keep his mindset. After eating Gillian, Yoshimo found it harder and harder to keep in tune with his personality. His greed for more darkness and more power was beginning to get to him. After battles with hollow and gillan, Yoshimo fought to keep his dignity and his personality, which kept his mask on his face. Yoshimo didn’t know what the purpose of it was; he knew that he couldn’t give into the inner hollows wants and desires, even though they were so close to his. He had to keep his “face on” and he continued to fight, despite how much his inner self wanted him to turn into a blood thirsty Gillian.
Decades passed and Yoshimo grew into an Adjuchas. His mask covered his face, and his body began to grow into the pale like resemblance of the human he used to be. His powers were strong, and Yoshimo focused on hand to hand combat more than using his ominous shadow abilities. Yoshimo fought his inner desires and was sometimes able to use his shadow abilities without going crazy. Yoshimo suffered mentally as an Adjuchas. Fighting and consuming other Adjuchas in Hueco Mundo tested his strength. Yoshimo released all his hate on a fellow adjuchas one day. His inward desired consumed him in black mass of strength and power and Yoshimo was able to take on the power of a Vastro Lorde, bottling up all his hatred only to finally release it made Yoshimo even stronger as a Vastro Lorde. When taken by the Arrancar Army, Yoshimo killed a few of the soldiers for the fun of it, fighting his way to the top even more. Yoshimo’s true form was released after that day, and he regained his human like form. Ever since that day Yoshimo has been training himself for more control. It’s why he wears simplistic clothes, and appears to be very nice on the outside. Yoshimo even changes his fighting style in battle so he doesn’t have to reveal his true self, because the abilities of his shadows aren’t even known by him. After 118 years of turmoil, emotions and great pain, Yoshimo has become what he is today.
A beast hidden in sheep’s clothing.

Personality: Yoshimo is the "Doctor". He has some medical skills, and used to be a traveling doctor before he was a hollow. He doesn't have any real "medical/kidou" abilities, but he does have a vast knowledge of how the body works, and use it against his opponent's in battle. Yoshimo is lazy like Stark from the manga, and doesn't really like to do anything. He's friendly, but doesn't go around searching for friends, or wanting to make new ones. Yoshimo spends most of his time bored, sleeping around unless he gets his hands on a dead body. Yoshimo is very smart, and has a high IQ, in a research lab, his talents shine, because he can come up with new things to help the Espada on the technological developments. His intuitive genius is similar of that to Urahara Kisuke, and also his personality. Yoshimo dislikes fighting most of the time, but if pushed to it, he'll fight and reveal another side of him. Yoshimo is obedient, but isn't weak. He'll do what he is told, but will also show some resistance if the ideas aren't smart. Yoshimo doesn't mind being a smart mouth sometimes to those higher than him, but Yoshimo treats others with respect if he is given it back. He likes to go "evil scientist" every now and then, and if he were ever to meet Kurotsuchi, Yoshimo would not battle him, but rather sit down with him, and try to see where his brilliant genius comes from. After all, he's interested in the human body and ways to make it stronger.
