| 150 cm (4'11") 38 kg (83 lbs) BDay: February 11 Zanpakuto: Suzumebachi Bankai: Jakuhō Raikōben Soifon (previously Shao Lin)砕蜂 (previously 梢綾) Soifon: "smash" or "break"; "hornet" Shao Lin: "treetops" or "twig"; "(satin) figured cloth" Notes: Soifon's name is extremely poetic and interesting. Considering Soifon seems to be of Chinese origin (in the land of the dead too), the mandarin pronounciation is apparantly "Sui Feng". The kanji for "soi" (砕) is also used in the phrase "mi wo kudaku" (身を砕く), which means "to devote yourself completely to something". And on one last note, considering her zanpakuto is named Suzumebachi (雀蜂; "hornet", also reflected in her name) yet uses butterfly imagery gives light to the saying "float like a butterly, sting like a bee."
