Bleach Character Biographies
He is the vice-captain of the Shinigami Squad 6 - directly under Kuchiki Byakuya.
He returns with Byakuya to help bring back rukia, whom he seems to personally
have something against. He seems somewhat strong but acts very impulsively most
of the time.
This is Ichigo's class mate and Orihime's best friend. Her and Ichigo grew up
together, meeting in a karate class when they were 4. She is very strong for a
girl and over protective of Orihime. She does not like the normal things girls
seem to like such as makeup and boys but is a tomboy who is rough on the edges.
An all out lesbian, Chizuru makes fruitful attempts on Orihime and ends up being
beat up by Tatsuki. Adding the touch of humor that makes Bleach popular, she is
a minor character.
He is a television "spirit medium" who tells fortunes and performs
exorcisms on
ghosts. He travels to an old abandoned hospital, where many fans watch, and
mistakenly opens the hole that turns a wandering ghost into a hollow. Once this
happens he feels it is his sworn duty to not let his fans down so he prepares to
fight the hollow, only to be interrupted by Ichigo. Ichigo comes in and defeats
the hollow, showing him what a true hero is. After this, Kanonji has great
respect for Ichigo and even says he will let Ichigo be his "pupil".
This is the hollow that killed Ichigo's mother - one that he swears to defeat.
This hollow takes the form of a girl, but when she does battle she goes into the
brain of the "hollow" that follows her. Once one of her bodies (the girl or the
hollow) are defeated, she just retreats to the other one. She has the ability to
look into people's memories and then display the one person that they cannot
kill, and therefore leaves them open to attack.
This is a young boy who works at the Uraha shop. He likes to fantasize about
being the worlds best baseball player and often neglects his work.
These three kids were playing a video game and deleting characters and Kon saw
this. When he did, he beat the three up. Shortly thereafter, they were attacked
by hollows and Kon saves them.
They are Orihime's "protectors", and resemble little fairies. Their names are:
Hinaginku (Ability to repel), Shonou (inner shield), Tsubaki (Breaks through
enemy)
One of Ichigo's classmates who has a very big crush on him, but is afraid to act
on it. She lost her brother in a car accident many years ago, and he came back
as a hollow to eat her soul. Just before he did it, he realized that this would
not make her happy and that what he was doing was wrong and so he "cleansed
himself" by making himself disappear. After being in contact with Ichigo's
shinigami form, her spiritual power was awakened.
He is the last surviving quincy, and has a deep seeded hatred for all Shinigami
because his sensei died fighting hollows when the Shinigami were late to show
up. He challenges Ichigo by putting out hollow bait and thus attracting a lot of
hollows, so much that they couldn't not handle them all. Ishida and Ichigo then
team up to beat the hollows and save the city.
Another teacher at Ichigo's school, when he sees the ruckus that Ichigo made on
Don Kanonji's TV show, he gets outraged and tries to rally other teachers behind
himself to punish Ichigo.
Another classmate of Ichigo, he has a major crush on Rukia and wants her to be
his girlfriend - all the while Rukia still trying to understand human culture.
He is a fifteen year old boy who is girl crazy. He claims he only likes older
women, but when in fact he will take whatever he can get. He goes to school with
Ichigo and seems to come from a very rich family. Ichigo warns Rukia that she
should watch out for Mizuiro hitting on her.
Kon is a modified soul that was created by soul society to fight hollows. In
creating him, they gave him more strength than they would normally, so when he
is free he can do amazing things. By mistake on the Uraha shop, he is inserted
into Ichigo's body while Ichigo takes his Shinigami form. During this period he
explores the human world, by impressing people and showing off his ability. Once
it is realize what has happened, he is tracked down and removed from Ichigo's
body and paced in the body of a teddy bear. After this he began to idolize Rukia
and he sometimes fills in for Ichigo when Ichigo must leave his body to fulfill
his Shinigami duties.
He is the captain of the 6th squad and is also Rukia's older brother. He comes
from a very noble family and is very powerful. He travels from soul society to
return Rukia (whom he is not on good terms with) and to kill Ichigo.
She is the first real Shinigami that Ichigo ever encountered, and to save both
Ichigo and herself she transferred her Shinigami powers to him. She currently is
still working for soul society, but as Ichigo's Shinigami teacher. She hides
herself in her human form from Hollows until her strength returns - all the
while coaching Ichigo and helping him with his Soul Society missions. She also
puts up a wonderful facade around her class mates, and is still trying to adapt
and understand many things about the human world.
The main character of the manga. He goes one day from being a normal every day
kid who can see ghosts, to attacked by a hollow. During this battle, when he is
about to parish, a new shinsingami he has just recently met decided to
transfer half of her energy into him. Unfortunately, due to his spiritual
awareness already, the moment her sword touches his soul, he takes virtually all
of her power, transforming him into a shinigami. After this, he is given the
role of a shinigami to protect those who are being attacked by hollows, which
usually means protecting/fighting against people he already knows. Over a short
period of time, Ichigo has shown that he has been able to do many things that no
human should be able to do, such as fight at the level he does, as well as be
able to see spiritual aura in a physical form (which allows him to locate people
by sensing there aura, even if it is very weak). He is slowly beginning to learn
how to use and regulate his spiritual power.
The father of the Kurosaki family, he is a widower, who is the neighborhood
doctor, and the only one in their family who can't see ghosts at all. He is very
overprotective of Ichigo (As he makes him come in every night by 7:00 pm) and is
very strict on the rules. He uses physical violence to tend to matters that he
is not very good at talking about, and wishes his son would communicate more
with him.
Ichigo's little sister who, although she can see ghosts (in a blurred way),
claims she doesn't believe in them - but if the opportunity presents itself, she
will try to make money off of her ability.
This is Ichigo's mother who died 6 years ago. She was the most wonderful
beautiful woman Ichigo has ever seen and he loved her very much. She died trying
to protect him from getting killed - thus proving her love for him. She is near
to the hearts of the whole Kurosaki family, and they visit her grave on the day
she died every year in her memory.
Ichigo's other younger sister who looks up to him and envies that he can see
ghosts so well. She wants to some day be able to see ghosts as well as he can.
She feels like its her responsibility to help maintain the family since their
mother died.
A classmate of Karin and Yuzu, who seems to be their friend and when Karin is
sick she goes and checks on her. She also sees Ichigo (Kon in Ichigo's body)
jump over a 2.5 meter high fence, but Karin threatens her into not telling
anyone about it.
Mit-bro - One of the three guys that we see introduced in chapter 1. They were
skateboarding and knocked over a vase that was placed in memory of a child who
died. Ichigo and the Ghost of the girl who died teach them a valuable lesson.
A school yard bully who has orange hair and threatens to beat up Ichigo unless
he Dies his hair. When Ichigo hears this he tells him that it is his natural
color and calls him names - to which Ooshima is going to beat him up. Just
before the fight begins Chad comes in and knocks him out of the park.
Chad is Ichigo's very large friend, who seems to be incredibly strong. He is
able to even hold a steel beam on his back, as well as endure being hit by a car
and many other accidents. He has a parakeet that has a goal's soul in it as
well, and this parakeet brings about the death of every one of its owners. After
coming in contact with Ichigo's shinigami form, his spiritual powers were
awakened and he was able to defeat a hollow.
This boy's soul was trapped in a parakeet by the hollow that murdered his
mother. This hollow told him that if he could elude him for 3 months then the
hollow could bring his mother back - this of course was a lie. He became the
"pet" of Chad who protected him and helped fight against the hollow, and in the
end was sent to soul society by Ichigo to be reunited with his mother whom he
so dearly missed.
He is a middle aged man who works for the Uraha shop. He is under the manager
but still tends to take control of the two children working there. The children
- although they would not admit it - seem to be somewhat afraid of him.
This is a young girl who works at the Uraha shop with Jinta. Although she is 3
years yonger than Jinta, she provides the voice of reason in telling him that
they should be working instead of playing.
This is the manager of the Uraha shop, who has an unshaven face and wears a
beach hat most of the time. He cares a lot about the reputation of the shop and
tries his best to provide his customers with the products that they want. When
he realizes the mistake he made in giving Rukia a mod soul, he decides he will
fix the problem himself. He seems to have some abilities, but at this point he
mostly remains a mystery.
He is one of the three friends that Ichigo finds desecrating a girl ghosts
grave. He is severely beaten by Ichigo and apologizes for what he has done.
