Kaizo Konpaku (Kon)
Warning: There WILL be unmarked spoilers for those who haven’t finish up to the latest anime episode. And informations here are based on the anime’s developments, not the manga.
Background
Kaizo Konpaku is the cute lion plush toy that is often addressed as Kon by his friends. Kon is a modified soul (mod soul) whose purpose is to inhabit Kurosaki Ichigo’s body while Ichigo is in his Shinigami form. This is important so Ichigo’s body won’t lie motionless and be exposed to dangers. So while Ichigo is inhabiting his own body, Kon is being kept inside the body of the lion plush toy.
Kon’s purpose in the series is mostly for comedy’s sake, adding a nice humorous touch whenever he appears. He whines and complains a lot, and he always finds himself being treated with no respect, such as being pushed around by Ichigo and getting dolled up by Ishida Uryuu.
Kon’s Powers
While Kon is in Ichigo’s body, he is rather proficient in unarmed combat, although not quite good enough to defeat stronger Hollows. He is known to be capable of running extremely fast as well. And in a recent episode, Kon proved useful for being a plush toy when he, together with Ichigo, Ishida and Abarai Renji are trapped in a maze.
