Notable Attacks/Techniques: 

- Tachikaze (Earth-severing Wind): This is the name of his Zanpakuto. Its release command is "Blow it away".

- Shikai (Initial Release): Blow it Away: The second form (or first "upgraded" form) available to a Zanpakutō. To activate it, the Shinigami needs to learn the name of their Zanpakuto. When sealed, Tachikaze takes the form of a wakizashi, with an H-shaped tsuba, white weaving around its hilt, and a black sheath. When Tachikaze is released, air currents swirl around Kensei before enveloping Tachikaze, which transforms into a combat knife with a bronze guard, light purple hilt-wrapping in the center of the hilt, a gray leather grip, and a small ring on the guard's blunt side. Tachikaze's true power lies in causing whatever comes into contact with the Zanpakuto's technique to explode.

• Air Blades: By slashing at the air, Kensei can release multiple blades of wind which cut enemies from a distance before exploding and causing devastating damage. They are extremely powerful, easily killing a giant Hollow by cutting it into pieces.

• Bakudantsuki (Bomb Thrust): Kensei charges Tachikaze with Reiryoku until it takes the shape of a glowing orb, which he fires as an energy blast with extreme force. This blast is quite devastating, blowing off the arm of Ichigo's Hollowfied form. He later uses it to destroy a Gillian simply by using the ability while impaling the mask of the Hollow with the blade of Tachikaze, which caused the head of the Gillian to blow up.

- Bankai (Final Release): Tekken Tachikaze (Iron Fist Severing Wind): Upon activation, an explosion of wind erupts around Kensei, and when it disperses, Tachikaze transforms from a single combat knife into a pair of large knuckle blades which Kensei holds in each hand. Both blades have a curved silver edge, which tapers off to an outward point on either side. Segmented purple bands wrap around the entirety of his arms, much like armor, while a thicker purple band arches behind him, over his head, with its ends protruding from under his shoulders. Tekken Tachikaze focuses all of its Shikai form's destructive power into its knuckle blades. As a result, Kensei's punches release immense explosive force on impact. This explosive power continues to assault his opponent endlessly as long as his fist remains in contact with his opponent.When using this ability, Kensei can change its knuckle blades into brass knuckles, as well as spiked gauntlets.

- Zanjutsu (Art of the Sword): The fighting style for the Zanpakutō, (i.e. sword fighting) and is one of the four basic fighting styles of the Shinigami.

- Hakuda (Hand-to-Hand Combat): A close-combat martial art of fighting in which one is unarmed and uses only ones body, and is one of the four basic fighting styles of the Shinigami.

- Shunpo: Superspeed technique which propels the user across short distances at enhanced speeds.

- Hollowfication: Kensei's Hollow mask grants him an explosive increase in strength, speed and durability. Can only be used for a few minutes.

- Hollowfied Form: When transformed into a Hollow, Kensei is a large, muscular and bulky humanoid with armored hands and skeletal feet, with a number of thick cylindrical protrusions on his back and forearms. Kensei's base abilities are greatly augmented however use of a Zanpakuto is seemingly impossible.
