AKATSUKI
"We desire peace and prosperity"

Akatsuki (暁; Literally meaning "Dawn" or "Daybreak") is an organization of Vizards and is allied with the Gotei 13 and the strongest Vizard group to be known. Their main goal is to bring peace and prosperity to the world and prevent Espada from causing mass chaos. As such, Akatsuki, despite initially having a minor role, has become the primary antagonist of the Espada other than the Gotei 13 and Soul Society.

~Wardrobe~

Akatsuki members have a very distinctive wardrobe, which could give them away if an enemy is alerted of their presence. Members wear long, dark cloaks with red clouds, a red interior, and a chin-high collar. All members wear black nail polish on their fingers and toenails and may wear a conical straw hat with small ornamental torques and tassles hanging down over their faces. The hats may be used to move around in the general population unnoticed, or for when the weather requires one. Everyone also wears a ring with a kanji on different fingers depending on who the member is.

What seems to be most important, however, are their rings. In total, there are ten rings given to each of the ten main members of Akatsuki. The rings apparently signify one's membership and ring position.

The various rings are:

Right thumb: 零 (rei, "zero") Its colour is purplish-grey.
Right index finger: 青 (Ao, shō, "blue," "green") Its colour is teal.
Right middle finger: 白 (bya, "white"); Its colour is white.
Right ring finger: 朱 (shu, "vermilion," "scarlet") Its colour is red.
Right little finger: 亥 (gai, "sign of the boar") Its colour is green.
Left little finger: 空 (kū, "sky," "void") Its colour is slate blue.
Left ring finger: 南 (nan, "south") Its colour is yellow.
Left middle finger: 北 (hoku, "north") Its colour is dark green.
Left index finger: 三 (san, "three") Its colour is orange.
Left thumb: 玉 (gyoku, "jewel," "ball," also the black king in shogi) Its colour is purple.
