If you don't read or watch Bleach, this post will seem like nonsense to you. Otherwise, read on. I am getting sick and tired of people saying that Zaraki Kenpachi does not have shikai for his zanpakutō. Kenpachi does have shikai. Don't believe it? Wikipedia says it on two occasions.
Wikipedia cites page 258 of the Bleach Official Character Book SOULs for this fact. The page can be downloaded at Ju-Ni. (Ju-Ni is a very good Bleach scanlation group, although they do have other projects too. Membership is free, so don't complain.) For those who don't like to register on sites they aren't familiar with, I also have the page itself uploaded.
To the right, on the second column (actually, row), it says:
【常時開放型】持ち主の霊力により、常に『始解』時の形状を取っている斬魄刀のこと。一護や剣八の斬魄刀がこれに該当する。
Roughly translated, it says:
[Constant-release type] Zanpakuto that constantly take their "shikai" form due to their wielder's great spiritual power. Ichigo and Kenpachi's zanpakuto belong to this type.
So there you have it. It is officially stated by Tite Kubo himself: Zaraki Kenpachi does have shikai.
