10th Division Barracks
Like all the other barracks, the 10th Division Barracks house the offices and living quarters of the Shinigami of the 10th. Rangiku and Hitsugaya share an office. Rangiku has a habit of sleeping on the sofa in the office and accusing Hitsugaya of being in her room when she wakes-up. She is also known to hide alcohol in Hitsugaya's desk.

Kōkichirō Takezoe - Current 7th Seat of the 10th Division. Not much is known about Kōkichirō, except being mentioned in passing as Hitsugaya and Matsumoto were discussing Gin Ichimaru's involvement in Aizen's murder.
Former
Nothing is known of the former members of the 10th Division. Except that the division was without a captain until Tōshirō Hitsugaya was promoted. Also, according to Retsu Unohana, the former captain of the 10th Division had fallen in combat.
Recruitment
Captain Hitsugaya's leadership is meticulous and he pays close attention to his soldiers, as a result everyone works very hard. The sole exception to this is Lieutenant Matsumoto, who cleverly pushes all her work onto her captain. The soldiers of the Tenth Division find the captain and the lieutenant very approachable and as such the division is kept in excellent condition.

Frank talk!! with the 13th Division captain, Jūshirō Ukitake The 10th division is made up of the reliable Captain Hitsugaya and balanced by the gentle Lieutenant Matsumoto, so I think it's a very good division. I recommend this division to those of you who want to keep refining your abilities. Hah, Captain Hitsugaya is the kind of guy who just keeps soldiering on no matter what you throw at him. And hey, look, his name kind of looks like mine. Whenever I see him I keep subconsciously wanting to give him candy. It's really a good division.
