Hinamori tends to call him "Hitsugaya-kun" and both she and Ukitake occasionally use "Shirō-chan" (シロちゃん) - a nickname meaning "Whitey" (Snowy in the English manga) in reference to his hair - in both cases without any repercussion. The only person that actually calls him by his given name is Ichigo, who he constantly reminded to address him properly, and Hinamori, who is the only person allowed to get away with not addressing him properly. He does not address any other officer with their title, only their last names. The only thing he cannot tolerate is not being addressed as "Captain Hitsugaya," or an inappropriate use of his name, as he worked very hard for the title. Although he becomes angry towards jokes, he doesn't take action against whomever insulted him unless they are his enemies. Hitsugaya has developed a cold attitude toward most people. Hitsugaya is usually joked about by many of the other Shinigami in Soul Society as well as by his enemies, he tolerates these jokes and goes on with his duties.
Naturally, they do not voice this fact in front of him, for even regularly practicing this adage for so long, he did not really grow in height. He believes in the saying "children who sleep well, grow well," and hopes to grow quickly, a wish shared by his subordinates.
He works very hard, but his motive seems to be that if he finishes quickly, he can return to his afternoon nap. During his childhood in West Rukongai, he was so skilled with spinning tops that he became the local undefeated champion. Tōshirō's favorite foods are watermelon and amanattō. Hitsugaya dislikes summer and warm weather in general. He is overly protective of Momo Hinamori, due to the fact that they were old childhood friends. Hitsugaya hates anything that he deems childish as well as being described as something close to a child, such as an elementary school child. Tōshirō is easily annoyed by others goofing off or drawing unneeded attention to themselves, such as when he leads a team of Shinigami into Ichigo Kurosaki's school. Despite their personality differences, he and Rangiku seem very close. Hitsugaya is generally mature and serious, in contrast to his free-spirited lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto.
He retains the thin chain holding his Zanpakutō's sheath around his upper torso. He has a black belt with a large buckle around his waist, slightly baggy white pants, and white boots with furry black liners. He now wears a white double-breasted trench coat with black lapels that is fastened by four buttons on either side and which has a badge with a six-pointed cross on its left breast. Īfter being zombified by Giselle Gewelle, Hitsugaya's appearance changes dramatically. He also appears lankier than before, with his robes loosely hanging off of his body. Īfter training for an unspecified amount of time in preparation to fight the Wandenreich, Tōshirō's hair appears to have grown longer, his fringe now reaching down to his eyes despite being held up by a newly acquired bandanna. His green sash has also changed to a thin chain, but still retains the star-like clip. ġ7 months following Aizen's defeat, shortly after Ichigo regains his Shinigami powers, Tōshirō appears sporting a hairstyle similar to that before he became a Shinigami, and a long turquoise scarf.
He also wore the standard Shinigami outfit, but with the addition of the 10th Division's insignia on the left breast of his outfit. īefore Tōshirō was a captain, his hair was not as spiky, with only a few spikes here and there. He also wore the uniform of Karakura High School. In the Human World, he wears a black, short-sleeved, golf shirt and gray pants. He is relatively young by Shinigami standards, and has the appearance of a child. The sash holds his Zanpakutō's sheath in place on his back and is tied to it at either end. He wears a standard sleeveless captain's haori with a green sash around his shoulders, held together by a round, star-like clip. Tōshirō is short, with turquoise eyes and short, spiked, white hair, which tends to draw attention in the Human World. 4.8 Gotei 13 Invading Army arc (anime only).4.6 Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc (anime only).4.4 The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai arc (anime only).
