Yamamoto recognized Chidori's potential, taking them under his wing and assigning them their first mission to investigate a Hollow in the Rukon District 3 7. Chidori's early interactions also included meeting the head of the Shihōin Clan, Shunshun Shidō, one of the five great noble families, and the Katoru family, including Katoru Hatsunoya and Katoru Chimu 2 19 20 22.
