| abstract | - Karen Amagase (天ヶ瀬=カレン, Amagase Karen) is Gai Nagareboshi's adoptive mother and a former member of the Gotei 13 before deserting Soul Society's laws for a more peaceful life. Several thousand years ago, Karen was known as Wakana Yoshi, a lieutenant of the Gotei 13. She was forced by the then current Captain-Commander to assist him in defending Seireitei from the "Sōrai no Kishi", meeting a younger Mitsuru Inazuma in the process, with the two developing a close bond. After Central 46 ordered the Royal Guard to slaughter Mitsuru and his companions, with Karen only barely surviving due to the unexpected assistance of Nika, who used her memory manipulation to wipe the Central 46, Royal Guard, and the Gotei 13's memories of "Wakana Yoshi", allowing Karen to take upon a new name and begin anew. Mitsuru never found such a fact out, and became overcome by despair, obliterating the then authorities of Soul Society and unsealing a then berserk Gai Nagareboshi, whom Isshin Kurosaki dueled with. Immediately after, Karen was entrusted with the Mototsu by Isshin after he defeated Gai several hundred years ago; Karen cared for Gai as if he were her own son, helping him re-adjust to the world after receiving amnesia after his and Isshin's ferocious battle. Several years later, after Gai had recuperated from his injuries and memory loss, Karen disappeared for reasons only known to herself. However, during Part II of Bleach: Rising Phoenix, she reappears to her son once again, saving him from Yuuki Kaburagi.
