Katen Kyoukotsu's spirit manifests as two distinct women. The first is a tall, purple-haired woman with a red ribbon around her neck and an eye patch over her right eye. She wears an indigo cape adorned with a skull emblem and a long, dark dress that reveals her cleavage, similar to Rangiku Matsumoto. Her attire resembles that of an oiran, a high-class Japanese courtesan, and she also wears a golden bone headdress. The second woman appears later, dressed in dark, form-fitting clothes. Katen Kyōkotsu expresses boredom with Shunsui's "dull" nature after being with him for so long.
This zanpakutou is unique as it exists as two separate swords, forming a daisho sword pair. In its released state, the daisho transforms into two large swords resembling dao or falchions. Kyouraku's zanpakutō has the ability to manipulate wind. Its first attack, titled "Bushō-Goma" ("Lazy Isolation"), summons a blast of wind to temporarily distract the opponent. The second attack is called "Takaoni" ("Mountain Demon"). However, Starrk interrupted this attack with his cero, leaving its full capabilities unclear. The bankai of this zanpakutou remains unknown, but Ukitake mentioned that Kyoraku "shouldn't use it when so many people can see it."
