Ok, I have my answer: Ikkaku.
Why? Because he 's the only person in Soul Society (That we know of) that isn't a captain or lieutenant that achieved Bankai. And the fact that he's only been in 3 fights so far (The last one was a piss-poor shame, though)
normally i would agree with you. but looking back at it i think you've got it wrong on Ikkaku, he's had more screen time then most of the Shinigami in S.S aside from Renji and Rukia. he's obviously a character favorite for his times showing up is more than the rest. so i can't say he's underrated. his partner Yamichika is more underrated than him, imo. he only had a full showing of his strength just recently.
also i agree that Isshin is rather ignored too as well as Ishida's dad too. those two seem like power houses that are being unfortunately ignored.
