Appearance:

Spoiler:

Appearance-wise, Shinigami seems to have the most eccentric appearance of all the Soul Eater characters. He is arguably one of the tallest characters. He also wears a black robe with many jagged edges which appears to house his arms and covers his entire body with his face being covered by a cartoonish skull mask. It has not been shown what he looks like without the mask on, but since his son appears as a human, Shinigami may also have a human appearance. This possibility is supported by Mosquito's comments in chapter 53 regarding the Sanzu Lines. His mask shape changes to convey his current mood, with the eye holes of his mask shifting to triangles so that the mask is reflecting an angry/serious skull face.
Shinigami's soul is large and pale yellow; with three prominent spikes, slightly off-center, closely resembling his current mask.
In the past, Shinigami wore a far more grim-looking skull mask, which he changed from this more frightful mask after the establishment of Shibusen because it always scared the children. He also had black claws with his signature written on one and had a deep, menacing voice. He's also shown with skeleton hands when he was shown ripping Asura's skin off.
Personality: In most cases, Shinigami comes off as a bit of a joker with a cheerful demeanor. He also prefers to be optimistic and treats every situation as such. He also has a great sense of humor.
He has a special move called a "Direct Noggin Shinigami Chop" (which is normally shown when Shinigami shows his large flat four-fingered hand appearing from his robe; often called Shinigami Chop for short). This move is normally administered on Spirit whenever Shinigami refuses to put up with Death Scythe's antics when it comes to Maka or her progress. He has a habit of giving warnings to people about to be punished with it after the punishment was carried out. He also seems to take on a more playful attitude when talking with his son (he says the stripes in his son's hair are cute[2]), but at the same time thinks he can be quite the handful and is glad that Patti and Liz look after him.
As the headmaster of Shibusen, he is highly respected by teachers as well as students, not only because of his great power, but for his desire for peace in the world. It is for this reason, that Shibusen was created. Despite his past and his powerful position in the school, he tends to be kiddish and joyful as to not to scare the children. In the past, Shinigami spoke in a deeper and far scarier tone and was far more violent than he is today (this can be seen when he was fighting Asura) . Also, his new personality is the complete opposite of his own son.
Origins:
Grim Times[b]
800 years prior the start of the series, the Shinigami wore a normal skull mask, black claws with his signature written on one, and had a deep, menacing voice.
At an unknown time, Death had visited the Lost Island, an area witches had used as a construction facility for demon tools. As it turns out, Death was lured to the island by witch Arachne. After she had obtained Eibon's blueprints, she planned to blow up the facility, along with everything related to Brew and presumably kill Death. Somehow, Death survived/escaped the explosion.
800 years before the main storyline, Death fought and hunted Arachne, after she had killed a member of her kind and used the soul to join a human and weapon together, to create the first Demon Weapon. Arachne escaped by separating herself into small spiders and spread across the lands.
Before the start of the series, Shinigami lead a group of 8 meister and weapon partners, known as the Eight Powerful Warriors, to hunt down witches and prevent kishin from being born. Among the group was a man by the name, Asura. He was regarded as the strongest, as well as the most feared and suspicious, of the group. Overwhelmed by fear, Asura became addicted to power and followed the path of Kishin, consuming his own weapon, and eating souls himself, until he was a powerful kishin. which ultimately led to Shinigami ripping all of his skin off and sealing Asura away inside a bag made of it. The process of sealing Asura forced Death to root his own Soul to the ground, ultimately preventing from leaving the general radius of the spot. Afterward, he built what is now known as Shibusen, to prevent the birth of another Kishin.

[b]Post Kishin's Sealing
Under his rule, there are currently 8 active Death Scythes in the world. 7 of 8 are normally stationed in different parts of the world, as Shinigami's eyes, ear, and if need be, on call support weapon for himself or a highly trained meister. The strongest Death scythe; ironically, which is the only one that is an actual scythe other than Soul; stays as with him at Shibusen. That death scythe being Spirit, Maka's Father.
