Hisagi is 2nd seat of squad 9 (Lieutenant). His Taichou (captain) was Kaname Tousen, who was revealed to be on Aizen's side. Hisagi was deeply hurt and betrayed by his captain. After that, he assumed the captain's job in the Soul Society.

Previously in the Shinigami Acadamy he was the senpai (upperclassmen) of Momo, Renji, Kira in their freshmen year. While on a training field in the Human world, a huge Hollow attacked, killing his fellow classmates Aoga (male) and Kanisawa (female). In that same incident Hisagi got the three scars running down the side of his face.

Hisagi also has various tattoos. From what we can see, he has three choker-like tattoos, one on his neck, and the other two on his arms. His most widely known tattoo is the 69 on his face. The captain that saved his life during the hollow attack (Kensei Muguruma, 9th Division Cpt. at the time) had a 69 tattooed on his chest. Shuhei saw this and copied the fashion.

Shuhei Hisagi is the Captain of squad 9 after the previous Captain, Kaname Tosen betrayes Soul Society. Shuhei is an extremely mature and calm individual. He is usually seen wearing what appears to be a choker around his throat with a matching armband on his right arm as well as on his left wrist.

As a child he was saved by the previous 9th division Captain, Kensei Muguruma. In later years, Shuhei got a 69 tatoo on the left side of his face, matching the one Kensei has on his stomach.

Once entering the Soul Reaper Academy, his prodigious talents allowed him to join the 13 Court Guard Squads without completing his education. While acting as an instructor for the academy, Shuhei's group was attacked by a hollow, and, in fighting the hollow, he received a distinctive scar consisting of three verticle lines.

After his Captain, Kaname Tosen defects from Soul Society, Shuhei assumes the duties as Captain and is later "nominated" by Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto to be the new captain of Squad 9.

Tosen's betrayal surprises him because they share an almost virtuous philosophy.

In manga chapter 324, Hisagi Shuuhei fights with Findor Carias, Barragan's Fraccion, and it is revealed that his shikai is Kazeshini (Wind of Death), with the command being "Reap".
