Kirio Hikifune as she appears in the first part of my "Bleach: The 3rd Phantom" fanfic adaptation: [link]

I had to decide on what she would look like, since she'll be making an appearance in the next couple of chapters and THIS is what I came up with. Hiyori saw her as a motherly figure, so I decided to make her a bit like Unohana. Hikifune is however a bit more strict than the Captain of the 4th Division.

For the attire, I also had to decide on how other Royal Guard members would look like. So I decided that each member would have a different attire, but with two things in common:
- A metal "badge" with the symbol of the Royal Guard, which can be worn anywhere. The purple "ropes" are also part of it.
- A Haori, just like the original Captain's Haori, but with the colors reversed. In the back, where the symbol of the Division should be, appears the symbol of the Royal Guard, the same as in the badge.

Since this is shortly after Hikifune's entry in the Royal Guard, I decided that she would keep her 12th Division Haori and use the Royal Guard Haori over her shoulders like a shawl. She uses the Royal Guard Badge as a belt.
Also, I think that a high-collar sweater (much like Makoto Kibune's) would look good on her, so I predicted that she used it under her kosode (again like Kibune) when she was Captain. After going to the Royal Guard, she simply ditched the kosode.

Kirio Hikifune was the Captain of the 12th Division before the events of Turn Back the Pendulum. She was then promoted to the Royal Guard.
