Thoracic rotator

Looks like

The best developed rotator muscles, running from each chest vertebra's side process to the spine of the one or two above.

What it does

Help twist and steady the chest part of the spine and sense its position.

Keeping it well

Of little clinical importance alone; rotation exercise keeps the upper back mobile.
