Afterwards, Shigure began working for Mukuro and became a member of her 77 elite guardsmen. During this time, he provided Hiei with some level of instruction in the art of swordsmanship. He also informs Hiei that his demon energy has been reduced to almost nothing and offers to shelter him until his powers have recuperated to a reasonable level. After the painful operation, Hiei leaves and Shigure asks for him to never tell his sister the truth, should he ever find her (although Hiei didn't plan on that anyway). After hearing Hiei's unique, indelible tale, he agrees to operate. He believes a demon's eyes are the gateway to this answer and later comments that Kurama has "very interesting" eyes. In exchange for Hiei divulging his life story, Shigure would implant the Jagan eye in Hiei under the condition that found Hiei's story interesting enough.

Hiei was looking for his sister and it led him to Shigure. In addition, he appeared to have the male pattern baldness, not unlike that of Jorge Saotome, and wore a trench coat. However, his silhouetted visage in Hiei's initial flashback gave him a noticeably different appearance with a sizable horn on his forehead, pointed ears, and a reptilianesque tail sticking out.

Also, he hangs a strange U-shaped device from his head either in or behind his ears, which doesn't appear to serve any special purpose. He is always seen wearing a light blue, sleeveless robe, white pants, and black bandages wrapping both of his forearms. He also has a large scar across his face and a dim gray ponytail kept up via a bright blue bow. Additionally, he has three smaller piercings on the left side of his jaw. Shigure has a strange sense of fashion, with two large piercings on his lip and head, each sporting a chain.
