Andrew's face is much more rounded and seems to have a youthful appearance. He looks like a person that is probably many years younger than he should be. Though now during his travels in the land of the living he had now gained a small beard. It covers the front of his chin and his upper lip. It is chocolate brown in color and is very well trimmed. His eyes are a light brown, and possess a shine of them that have a slight sense of mischief with a mix of innocence. However, because of being far sighted, he has to wear glasses when he needs to see things at a farther distance. In terms of muscle, most of the muscle is apparent in his lower body more than his upperbody. He looks much more leaner in his upperbody after training in the shinigami's ranks.The muscles in his legs are much larger and defined from having to carry his weight. His arms however lack any true sign of muscle on his body. However, that is something that he doesn't really mind since he can be able to stand his ground much more often. His skin is of a light tan in color, and for some reason he has a series of scars. He has two small scars that go vertical down his chest and a longer scar that goes across his stomach. One of the more defining things about him is the high levels of hair that he has on his head. Usually the dark brown hair that he has is large and it can easily become very untamed. There are times that he actually has his hair be very untamed for the reason he was not able to control it. Should he cut his hair, he has a few smaller scars along the top of his head.
Andrew has also been known to keep a variety of things on his person. With some modifications to his uniform, Andrew had made many pockets for him to work with. Many of the pockets contain several small books. They are about the size of an address book and are designed for him to write various things without having to worry about hulking around with large books on his back. They contain the various notes on kidou and cooking that he had jotted down during his career. The second thing that is apparent is that he has a belt that is made of leather painted white. He had discarded the typical white cloth simply because he seemed to go through them very fast and desired to have something that could hold up much more to his size. Along the belt are small leather loops that Andrew uses to hold things on the go. He mainly uses them to hold small pouches filled with whatever ingredient he needs at the time or even his own shikai's spice.
Much of his gear that he wears with his uniform is plus sized. This is mainly for the height that he was at. The top half of his uniform is loose to allow Andrew to manuever around with less difficulty. The bottom half of the uniform is much wider to accomodate his legs. More than anything, the bottom half is altered so that whenever he has a longer stride there will be a much lower chance of him damaging it. The footwear of his choice normally is much larger than normal soul reapers. He possesses a shoe size that 16.5 EEE. So he needs to be pretty careful so he doesn't break the straps of his sandals or even socks. If anything, he had desired that he could be able to go into the living world to grab himself a pair of shoes that are comfortable for him to wear and he can actually fit on his large feet. If he can be able to get away with it, he prefers to use a gigai form in order to have much more mobility for his clothes. He had always felt much more comfortable within clothing that he was much more accustomed to when he was younger. Typically he would stay with shorts to show some of his lightly tanned skin and solid colored t-shirts. The glasses still remain on his face whether he was in his shinigami uniform or in the gigai form. He also keeps one piece that belonged to him in his days of being alive: a cross that his mother had given to him when he was a child so that he would always be protected. He now wears it around his neck.
History:
In the beginning, Andrew always knew there was something odd about himself. He had grown up in a fairly moderate home with his family. However, he had been born with a neurological disorder that had to make him live the rest of his days as a child who had been born to this world with head trauma. It had even got to the point that something had to be installed into his head to remove the fluid that had been accumulating around his brain. The doctors had said that above everything else, he has to keep his head protected. If the tube was damaged, then he would have suffered even greater health risks than before. However, despite those risks, Andrew continued to live on and he had . In fact, some were puzzled with how he had been able to thrive so well. People of his condition usually didn't grow as much as he did. However, there were things in his mind that no doctor could be able to see with instruments.
When he was a child he had always thought he had seen ghosts or even heard voices in his head. Whenever he slept, he thought that he could be able to see the outlines of people coming to him in his sleeping form. He couldn't see the faces since he had always seen them within a static like form. Eventually it had gotten so bad that he had wanted to sleep with the lights on just so that he wouldn't have to see them appear in the darkness. However, eventually the light did go off and the spirits appeared to not bother him as much. At first he had brushed it off from what his mother had told him and believed that the "spirits" were caused by a negative reaction from the medicine that he took. But soon he began to realize that it wasn't the medicine that made him see strange things.
During his years of high school and even to college, he continued to hear voices. Sometimes he could be in a room with a bunch of people and he thought that someone was calling to him. At first he thought that it was nothing more than his mind playing tricks on him, but as the days rolled on he continued to hear them still. On some nights, he even began to see things that appeared to be people in the distance and when he reaches their location, they would not be there anymore. Everytime he had seen them, he continued to wonder it was something negative in his mind. There were even times he had wondered if he had been losing his mind. He didn't know the long term damage for his condition and for all he knew, insanity could follow him.
However, much like the feelings when he was a child, he began to forget about them. He graduated in his college and what was to be considered his greatest achievement and being able to stand with his brother as being the only ones to go through college was marred in tragedy. He and his mother had been in a severe accident and he seemed to be unharmed. However, his mother was hurt badly and he immediately tried to get her out of the car. He cared more about getting her to the hospital without knowing that something did happen to him. What kept him alive had been damaged and what began as simple headaches turned into something even worse. The fluid in his head had been too much for his mind to take and he died in the hospital while making sure his mother was safe.
While in the land of the living, he had watched over his mother much like she believed that people were watching over him. He didn't feel guilt, but he didn't want his mother to know that she was alone. She took his death hard and he wanted to be with her. On one night however as he watched over his mother, someone approached him. At first he didn't know what to do. He wasn't very skilled in hand to hand combat and from what he could see the person had a katana. He could have been dealing with some kind of ghost samurai and he had no means to defend himself. For all he knew, she could have been sent to hurt his mother. He watched as the woman moved into her home and he immediately stood in her way. His face had less rage and more determination to keep his mother safe from anyone. However, the woman told him that she was looking for him. Confused, he had asked why and she told him about the Soul Society. Though he could understand about him needing to cross over, he felt bad about leaving his mother. As a last request, he had wanted to be able to leave something for her to show that he was okay. Nodding her head, she peformed the ritual and he was placed into the society.
During the next few months, he had been wandering around West Rukongai looking for some kind of work. He wasn't very sure what skills to bring until he had found himself in a some kind of restaurant. He looked at the food and began to ask questions about its preparations such as the cooking time and the procedures the owner took. Eventually the owner was interested enough in his own contemplations that he gave him a job as a cook in his restaurant. He cooked there until he saw the same people who had the robes the woman had on when she brought him to this place. Feeling hospitable, he delievered the shinigami their food and immediately felt a high level of reiatsu with him.
They began to question him, but he seemed to have a very confused look on his face. He didn't understand what they were talking about. He did say though he did see the outlines of bodies and heard voices. They continued to question him until a few days later he had been asked to come with them to the shinigami academy. Continuing to look very confused, he accepted and began to wonder what they were talking about.
When he had joined the academy, he seemed to have a very huge sense of curiousity in his mind. He had wanted to learn much about the shinigami. As he continued through his lessons, he had learned of a few fighting techniques: zanjutsu, hakuda, and kidou. Kidou was something that had definitely caught his eyes as he had his first taste of it from a student. Though accidental in its usage, it had began to stroke the flames of intrigue in his mind so that he could be able to learn much more about this path. Eventually he had encountered other students, one in particular he had met was a girl named Yumi. She had taught him about hakuda but he had wanted to continue the path of kidou. Andrew needed to know where he can actually go and be able to help extend his knowledge of kidou. He had asked questions about the various divisions and started to contemplate about each of them. It seemed that eventually he would have chosen something like the 8th or the 11th division until he had heard of something that caught his mind. It was the fifth division, and it specialized in kidou. Once he had heard that, he was more than willing to join the fifth division.
Days before his graduation and the decision he made, Andrew was given a true zanpaktou. His final test was to find the name of his spirit. As he heard that, a sense of confusion was in his eyes. Was there really a spirit within his weapon? He closed his eyes to hope for something until he had seen the spirit. It was in the shape of a soft pink hued sphere. It had no mouth, but it had eyes and a nose. To make matters more interesting, it had a white chef's hat and a frying pan on its side. If anything, the best thing he could do was to ask it what it's name was. Even as he asked, the spirit remained silent. Andrew tried asking it again, but once more it ignored him. It had been the same song and dance for Andrew until he realized something: the spirit had no name to speak of. Looking at the spirit, he asked the spirit if it would like a name. The spirit immediately reacted to Andrew and nodded. Eventually he had gave the spirit Tetsu Itamae and the spirit gave him a skill he learned to be shikai. It was the next level of release for him and found out the skill involved him releasing a very hot spice. With the knowledge in tow, Andrew was ready to join the ranks of the fifth and expand his kidou knowledge. But before he could join, he would need to change his name. So after the academy in his heart he would always be Andrew, but to other shinigami he would be known as Isamu Togami.

Zanpakutou
Appearance:
Within the sealed state, the zanpaktou appears to be less of a katana and more to something that Andrew is accustomed to. The overall appearance of the weapon is the form of a large chef's knife. The color of the flat end of his blade is black like coal and the edge is the color of silver. The blade itself is wider than a normal sealed zanpaktou and possesses no guard to speak of. The only real thing that could protect Andrew's hand is that the beginning of his sword. The broad portion of that area is designed to protect his hand. It is much lighter than it appears to be, so he uses it mainly with his right hand. He usually never wields it in both hands or even in his left hand because it feels much more clumsy if had done it in such a manner. The hilt is a deep black color and it is built to be comfortable in his hand. The reason for this is the hilt of his zanpaktou is grooved for a single hand.
Released:
Upon release, Andrew's zanpaktou changes into a larger form of the santoku knife. The blade's form changes into the form of a narrow bladed cleaver. However, it is still built to be very comfortable in his hand. In addition to the appearance, along the blade's edge the weapon possesses instead of a smooth straight one, the weapon gains a scalloped edge. This allows the weapon to use the air pockets that the scalloped portions create to allow for a smoother cut.
Manifestation:
The spirit doesn't have a true name, but Andrew calls him Tetsu Itamae (Iron Chef). It is a small, pink sphere that has a large white chef's hat. It also has a frying pan along side at all times. It doesn't really instill any fear into people's hearts. If anything, it actually is known to be very cuddly. He is pretty much a very strange and unassuming flame type zanpaktou spirit. More often than anything, Tetsu typically tries to give Andrew as much advice as he can give him whether it is for combat situations or cooking tips. That is why Tetsu usually is out and about with Andrew. It takes a much larger interest in Andrew's ability and how is he able to develop himself as a shinigami. It tries to show him options that he can take and be able to give him the confidence that he needs to gain in order to ensure his success. Also, it relies on him for the concern for its well being. However, when it comes to cooking, he is more of his conscience than anything. The last thing he would want is to have Andrew try to blow up a kitchen.
Inner World:
The inner world of Tetsu is a small commerical kitchen. It contains two rooms: one section that would be used for the preparations of ingredients such as raw foods or vegetables. It contains three long stainless steel tables that have a small compartment for cutting boards. Along the edge of the wall there is a combination range and convection oven. A hood is also present so that he can be able to vent off the smoke. Along with that, there is also a fryer and a large wok. It has a gas range with a convection oven equipped with an exhaust hood. The countertops are also stainless steel and possess a food processor, a blender, and a food processor. In the back of the second room there was a three compartment sink that is for the soaking, rinsing and sanitizing of anything that it uses in the kitchen. It even has a working refrigerator and a freezer. Nearby the fridge and freezer, there is also a working ice cream machine. This is where the spirit feels most at peace: to be able to help create recipes from different ingredients and give Andrew advice when he looks like he is going to need it.
Release Phrase: Kukku, Tetsu Itamae (Cook, Tetsu Itamae)
Abilities:
[/ul]
[5] Doragon Koumi (Dragon spice): Andrew's shikai ability is known as the form of a spice that he calls doragon koumi (dragon spice). The nature of this ability allows him to disperse the attack into cloud form that can be inhaled by his opponents or it comes in contact with their bare skin. The cloud has the appearance of a rust color and it is designed to immediately immobilize his opponents. The shikai is not designed to kill his enemy; however, the cloud itself has a very powerful heat to it similar to that of mace. This would cause intense burning sensations to anyone who would go within the cloud in the form of redness of the skin, tearing up, and respiratory problems.. However, it is a superficial attack. The only way to cause damage is through exposed skin of his opponent or if they inhale it. Even then, the damage is temporary at best. The burning sensation would only last for an hour. It cannot be able to penetrate the clothes of his enemy or anything that would cover their faces. Also, it can easily be dispered by anything that uses wind as a special ability whether it a zanpaktou or a kidou.
[10] Doragon kokyuu (Dragon Breath): In terms of himself being affected by the spice, Andrew is not harmed by it. He can be able to inhale the spice into himself deeply. Once he has done this, it mixes with his reiatsu in his own body and peform a strong fire breath attack to stop his opponent. The attack itself is a 10 foot long cone that has a width of three feet in diameter. In this he is able to cause damage that range from first to second degree burns. For the fire, Andrew is not vulnerable to it. There is some pain that he receives in the form of a strong sting. However, he had gotten used to this form of pain since he had been training with this form. For now he is only able to use this atttack up to 5 times per day.
[15] Doragon Hana (Dragon Edge): During his training with his shikai, Andrew noticed how the spice had always stayed within the blade even though he never released it. That was something he had always noted in his training and eventually asked Tetsu what it was. When he realized it was a fire elemental, maybe there was something more to it. This brought forth his second shikai ability: Doragon Hana (dragon edge). By using his own reiatsu as the spark, the spice turns the blade white hot. In this form, the shinigami is able to merge the flame element with his reiatsu to further increase his own strength. Essentially the combination of the two would allow him to cut through things that his reiatsu would not normally be able to in the past if he simply used his reiatsu only. However, it is still vulnerable to water and ice type abilities. In addition to this, it is still bound to the five times he could be able to release his ability each day.

Andrew has also been known to keep a variety of things on his person. With some modifications to his uniform, Andrew had made many pockets for him to work with. Many of the pockets contain several small books.

They contain the various notes on kidou and cooking that he had jotted down during his career. The second thing that is apparent is that he has a belt that is made of leather painted white. He had discarded the typical white cloth simply because he seemed to go through them very fast and desired to have something that could hold up much more to his size.

More than anything, the bottom half is altered so that whenever he has a longer stride there will be a much lower chance of him damaging it. The footwear of his choice normally is much larger than normal soul reapers. He possesses a shoe size that 16.5 EEE. So he needs to be pretty careful so he doesn't break the straps of his sandals or even socks. If anything, he had desired that he could be able to go into the living world to grab himself a pair of shoes that are comfortable for him to wear and he can actually fit on his large feet.

It even has a working refrigerator and a freezer. Nearby the fridge and freezer, there is also a working ice cream machine. This is where the spirit feels most at peace: to be able to help create recipes from different ingredients and give Andrew advice when he looks like he is going to need it.

[5] Doragon Koumi (Dragon spice): Andrew's shikai ability is known as the form of a spice that he calls doragon koumi (dragon spice). The nature of this ability allows him to disperse the attack into cloud form that can be inhaled by his opponents or it comes in contact with their bare skin. The cloud has the appearance of a rust color and it is designed to immediately immobilize his opponents. The shikai is not designed to kill his enemy; however, the cloud itself has a very powerful heat to it similar to that of mace. This would cause intense burning sensations to anyone who would go within the cloud in the form of redness of the skin, tearing up, and respiratory problems.. However, it is a superficial attack. The only way to cause damage is through exposed skin of his opponent or if they inhale it. Even then, the damage is temporary at best. The burning sensation would only last for an hour. It cannot be able to penetrate the clothes of his enemy or anything that would cover their faces. Also, it can easily be dispered by anything that uses wind as a special ability whether it a zanpaktou or a kidou.
[10] Doragon kokyuu (Dragon Breath): In terms of himself being affected by the spice, Andrew is not harmed by it. He can be able to inhale the spice into himself deeply. Once he has done this, it mixes with his reiatsu in his own body and peform a strong fire breath attack to stop his opponent. The attack itself is a 10 foot long cone that has a width of three feet in diameter. In this he is able to cause damage that range from first to second degree burns. For the fire, Andrew is not vulnerable to it. There is some pain that he receives in the form of a strong sting. However, he had gotten used to this form of pain since he had been training with this form. For now he is only able to use this atttack up to 5 times per day.
[15] Doragon Hana (Dragon Edge): During his training with his shikai, Andrew noticed how the spice had always stayed within the blade even though he never released it. That was something he had always noted in his training and eventually asked Tetsu what it was. When he realized it was a fire elemental, maybe there was something more to it. This brought forth his second shikai ability: Doragon Hana (dragon edge). By using his own reiatsu as the spark, the spice turns the blade white hot. In this form, the shinigami is able to merge the flame element with his reiatsu to further increase his own strength. Essentially the combination of the two would allow him to cut through things that his reiatsu would not normally be able to in the past if he simply used his reiatsu only. However, it is still vulnerable to water and ice type abilities. In addition to this, it is still bound to the five times he could be able to release his ability each day.
