After the pair unintentionally arrive at the 4th Division's compound, they visit Ikkaku Madarame, who, while recovering from injuries acquired from fighting Ichigo Kurosaki, was being interrogated by 12th Division captain, Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

She directs Kenpachi through the city's streets, albeit badly, resulting in them becoming lost, though they blame each other for their predicament. When the Ryoka break into Seireitei, she accompanies her captain as he begins searching the city for them. He then told the pair that the previous captain was the only person he could accept as his captain and, with Kenpachi's permission, he left. When he denied that he hated Kenpachi, she asked him why he was leaving. She asked him if he was really going to leave and if he hated Kenpachi. Shortly after Kenpachi killed the previous 11th Division captain and the pair joined the Gotei 13, Maki Ichinose informed Yachiru and Kenpachi of his intention to leave the Division. Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material. Since that day, she has spent much of her time clinging to his back for transport. Her surname Kusajishi was given to her because she was from that district. He named her "Yachiru" in memory of the only person he had ever admired. He adopted her after that, saving her from certain death in Rukongai. Even as Kenpachi warned her that the sword was dangerous, she reached out and touched it, giggling as her hand was covered in the blood of dead men. She crawled over to him after he killed several other men with his unnamed Zanpakutō, and was completely unfazed by the violence she had just witnessed, or the blood on his sword. Yachiru first met Kenpachi in one of the worst districts of Rukongai, the 79th district of the North Alley, Kusajishi, as a nameless child. It seems that she uses the whole Association to order the other members around, who are made to do various, mostly childish pranks and other "tasks" to please her. She stores her "treasures" in her hideout on the Kuchiki grounds. Yachiru formerly served as the president of the Shinigami Women's Association and holds its funds as such, spending it mostly on toys and candy. She has secret tunnels under the Kuchiki house, which she wished to show to Ichigo Kurosaki.

During Kenpachi's regular afternoon naps, she goes to play around the Seireitei. Yachiru specializes in infiltration, which she uses mostly for mischievous deeds. Yachiru has occasionally dressed up in a cat costume and caught the koi in Byakuya's pond and released them in Jūshirō Ukitake's pond. She attends Captain-Commander Yamamoto's tea sessions, Captain Unohana's ikebana lessons, and also Captain Byakuya Kuchiki's Calligraphy Club, but only to eat up the snacks and cakes served during these occasions and then disappear within moments. Yachiru's favorite free-time activity is eating sweets, though she will eat pretty much anything. Like Kenpachi, she has no sense of direction, but even so, he relies on her for directions. For example, she gave Makizō Aramaki the name "Maki-Maki" and later when he reminds her of that name, she finds it funny. Further reflecting her childlike nature, Yachiru likes to give people nicknames. Yachiru resents being criticized in any way and will often attack the perpetrator. She can be intimidating at times, especially when annoyed. She is often latched onto the back of her captain, Kenpachi Zaraki, just over his left shoulder and is somewhat territorial about this position. Yachiru is childlike in most aspects - she is small, cheerful, energetic and carefree most of the time. Seventeen months after Aizen's defeat, Yachiru's hair is flatter and has a cross-bone hair-clip on the left side. She wears the normal Shinigami robes and a lieutenant's insignia on her arm.

Yachiru's appearance is that of a very small, young girl with pink hair, dark pink eyes and a perpetual blush on her cheeks.
