Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)

Appearance

The first thing that catches your eye is Ichigo's spiky red hair, a trait for which he was ridiculed for years. He is a fairly tall, thin teenager with peach skin color and brown eyes. He likes to wear tight clothes. He often wears T-shirts that say "15" because his name sounds like "one-five." When Ichigo is in his spirit form, he wears the standard Shinigami uniform. Originally, his chest was crossed by a thick brown belt that held the scabbard of his sword, but this was later replaced by a thick ribbon of rosary beads.

Nature

As a teenager, Ichigo is stubborn, hot-tempered, impulsive and determined. Despite the fact that Kurosaki claims that he does not care about the opinions of others about himself, he tries to maintain the image of “cool” - he is always frowning, his eyebrows are drawn to the bridge of his nose. Ichigo understands and admits that with his character, he will not be able to refuse a fight if someone challenges him. Coldly calls teachers “instructors.” Despite this, he is very compassionate and empathetic. He tries to calm others down when they are upset about something. Ichigo is also a good student, he took 23rd place in the list of the best in the parallel. He tries to study hard, does not sit idle at home, but does his homework, trying most of all to refute the prevailing opinion about himself, mainly due to hair color and fights. Ichigo hates fortune tellers, horoscopes, feng shui, psychics and any other people who sell for money what others cannot see. Has difficulty remembering faces and names. Ichigo is extremely shy and feels very uncomfortable around naked and immodestly dressed women. Ichigo also often addresses elders with little respect and refers to many captains simply by their first names.

History

Ichigo was born on July fifteenth to Isshin and Masaki Kurosaki. His sisters, Karin and Yuzu, were born five years later. At the age of 4, Ichigo took up karate, where he became friends with Tatsuki Arisawa. Tatsuki defeated Ichigo in all sparring matches. She helped Ichigo when he was bullied and encouraged him when he was upset. Ichigo has been able to see Hollows and spirits for as long as he can remember. Since childhood, he saw them so clearly that he could not distinguish them from living ones. It often turned out that he stood among other people, looked into emptiness and seemed to talk to himself. People began to say that he could see ghosts, but when Tatsuki Arisawa asked about it, Ichigo did not admit his ability. On June 17, when Ichigo was 9 years old, he and his mother were returning home along the road along the river, which was flooded due to prolonged rains. Suddenly Ichigo saw a girl on the shore and thought that the stranger was going to jump into the water. Then the boy did not yet know how to distinguish between living people and ghosts, so he ran to the girl to stop her. Ichigo had no idea that it was just a decoy from the Hollow Great Angler. Masaki tried to stop Ichigo, but he didn't listen. After an unsuccessful attempt to grab the girl, Ichigo lost consciousness for some time. When he woke up, Masaki was lying on him, covered in blood. Starting from the next day after Masaki’s death, Ichigo skipped school more than once to go to the other shore where his mother died. The boy walked along the shore day and night, wandering aimlessly, as if in search of Masaki. If he got tired, he squatted down, and then got up and continued walking. Ichigo grew up, he went to high school and also continued to work around the house, but when his sisters and other residents of Karakura were in danger due to the attack of the Hollow, he saw a Shinigami (guide of souls) named Rukia Kuchiki, who saved him from the killing blow of the Hollow having lost a lot of blood and strength, then Ichigo decides to help her and takes her powers, becoming a temporary Shinigami, like Rukia Kuchiki herself
