He was raised in the Notorious Zaraki district, renown for being the most lawless and simply described as some kind of hell. When he left that place it is guessed that he had no more opponets worth facing as he'd become a swordman without peer. Soon after he met a young girl who did not fear the swath of violence he cut wherever he went. Zaraki named her Yachiru after the only person he admired. The original Yachiru has very little revealed. The Yachiru who is the pink hair girl half his size is his truest supporter and lieutenant. In that naming conversation he takes the name Kenpachi, or the title given to the Soul reaper who has killed more than anyone else and is considered the best swordsman alive.
He walked into the very heart of the Soul Society with Yachiru perched over his shoulder. It's not very clear if he attended the Soul Reaper academy, but it would be very much like him to go to the Strongest Shingami he knew about, and kill him. With that done he became the defacto Captain of the 11th Division. He is totally self taught, and loves the act of fighting. He is the least 'Shinigami' of all the Soul Reapers because he cares not at all for Shinigami and totally for fighting powerful opponents.
He's very, very confident. This can't be overstated. No matter who he's fighting he refuses to even let himself consider the possibility he could lose. Not only will he win, but win easily as soon as he puts in a little effort. Even if he's wounded to the point where he acknowledges the blood loss might kill him soon, he has no fear of failure. He loves to fight above everything else. Prolonging his fights is key to Kenpachi. It might seem strange that he has no Banki, which is something Captains are mostly required to have so they can fight, but he has no Shikai either. And doesn’t seem very motivated to learn them. A Shikai is an 'Initial release' of power. A Bankai is a 'Final Release'. Both radically increase the user's fighting ability. And even without them he's held onto the title of best swordsman.
And on top of that, Kenpachi goes through a great deal of trouble to make himself weaker than he would be normally. At some point he learned some Kendo, but rarely thinks to use it because it makes him a better fighter. He ordered R&D to make an eye patch that sucks away a large part of his energy. He wears bells on his hair, meticulously applied every day, so his enemies can hear him when he moves. Even when he's fighting he rarely 'goes all out' and plays around with his opponents until he's had some fun. And usually he tells them as much while fighting. His sword looks like it's never been treated well, and he doesn’t know it's name which is something considered very basic. This both weakens his own abilities and that of his sword. He is in a active disharmony with it despite the fact that the sword is a reflection of part of his soul.
And even with all these handicaps he's still on par with the strongest opponents.
So, if Kenpachi ever took off his eye patch, removed the bells from his hair, somehow released his Bankai and took a kendo stance, he'd arguably be the strongest fighter in the Bleach universe. Such a thing can't truly be measured, but Kenpachi is defined as a man who desperately tries to hold himself back so he doesn’t instantly destroy his enemies. If all of those things were finally removed it would be anyone's guess how strong he would become.
Captain in the 11th divison of the Gotei 13. With such a name that cries for battle, he doesn't care if Soul Society were to be engulfed in the flames of war, yet he commmands the strongest of all divisions encharge to protect the very Soul Society.
