Gitano Shigeo

Gitano Shigeo is a teenager who is offered a parakeet in which Yūichi Shibata's soul resides, but refuses because it is cursed. He is saved from a enormous steel beam by Yasutora Sado. He is later again seen with his friend Harutoki Ide and Sado on their way to get something to eat; he even goes to say that he'll die if he doesn't get anything to eat. He is again saved by Sado when they are suddenly attacked by a Hollow. He is usually seen carrying a guitar case.

Appearance
Shigeo has a normal look about him. He wears a regular T-shirt with a short-sleeved button up and a Hawaiian-style print shirt over it. He has shoulder length, blond hair and a goatee much like that of Isshin Kurosaki or Kisuke Urahara. He is usually seen with his guitar case on his back.

Personality
Shigeo has not been in either the anime or manga long enough to show his true personality, though he seems to be the average young-man. He seems to live life day to day and paycheck to paycheck. He is a cheapskate threatening to make Sado pay for the food if they arrived after the special.
