Background: Saya does not remember her human life. Instead, her memories begin with her waking up in the Rukongai. She began to wander around, silently wondering where she was. A small memory played, of a man in a black robe telling her about the Soul Society. That being the last memory she had, she accepted it as the truth, and tried to start a life among the Rukongai. She soon grew bored of this, and overheard someone talking about the Shinigami Academy. Eager to prove herself as more than just a wandering person, she applied, and got into the Academy. She was soon singled out for her excellent swordsmanship, and hand-to-hand capabilities. She was also respected for her natural leadership qualities. She graduated with high marks, except for Kidou, and soon was accepted into the 8th Squad. She soon came to love the squad, and was eventually made the Vice-Captain.

However, her Captain was killed, and, after a long meeting, she was made into to the 8th Division Captain. Saya changed to become much more serious while in her Division, but she could still smile, and make friends. She actually became friends with the 13th Division Captain, Jensen Reinhart, continuing the tradition of Shunsui, and Ukitake. It was during a mission, when she was surrounded by hollow, that she met Parius Ryūkōtei. Saya had been called out to deal with a minor disturbance, when she was ambushed by 3 Hollow. Taking them out easily, she was soon surprised when 10 more showed up. Fighting them off as best she could, Saya couldn't kill every Hollow, and they all attacked at once, not giving her room to breath. She thought that this was the end, when two people appeared to help out. Parius, along with his Captain Jensen, came to and helped kill the Hollow, showing the great teamwork that made them famous. Parius was the Vice-Captain of the 13th Division, and Saya was grateful to both of them. Saya soon became friends with him as well. Parius's laid-back and care-free nature had quite an impact on Saya, and she soon began to revert to her old, playful personality. After a year of this, she soon came to love Parius, and vice-versa. They were married soon after, in secret. A year later, Saya was going to have a baby. Again, this was done in secret, and their daughter was born. Parius named her Kagura, and they were happy.

However, soon after, Parius became a Vizard through unknown means. He left the Soul Society, along with Saya and Kagura, despite protests from Parius. He soon learned that he couldn't control his Vizard powers without going to the Endless Vizards, and told Saya to take their daughter and leave. Understanding, but eternally saddened, Saya reluctantly left, and moved to China. She raised Saya, and began her instruction of the blade. Parius always kept in touch, and was already learning his place as a Vizard. He actually visited them when Kagura was 15. Saya greeted him with a punch to the face. She knew he could have easily dodged it, but he allowed her to hit him. Parius explained how hard it was for him to make them leave him, and also recalls how hard it was for her to actually leave. She and him then talked about Parius somehow returning to his Shinigami state. Parius revealed he was tracking down a way to do so. It would actually take him till the time Kagura turned 20, but Parius soon came back, and revealed he was a pure Shinigami again. After thinking it over, Saya agreed to come back with him, and they all moved to the Ryūkōtei Manor. Greeted by Abel, as was Kagura, Parius explained that Abel was his younger brother. Greeting Abel as her brother, she soon settled into her new home. Though, she would still get mad at Parius for leaving after long periods of time. However, she also began to wander around the human world, and this usually kept her occupied. She also agreed with Parius on Kagura joining the Gotei, and she knew of the conditions. She knew how good of a Captain Jensen was, and she immediately agreed to him being Kagura's Captain.
