Ichigo Kurosaki

Appearance

The first thing that catches the eye is Ichigo's spiky red hair, a trait that has made fun of him for years. He is a fairly tall, skinny teenager with peach-colored skin and brown eyes. He likes to wear tight clothing. He often wears T-shirts. As Ichigo's sister Karin noted, when he became a Shinigami, he became noticeably more muscular. When Ichigo is in his spiritual form, he wears the standard Shinigami uniform. Initially, he wore a thick brown belt across his chest, which held the sheath of his sword, but this was later replaced with a thick ribbon of prayer beads. Several people, including Jūshirō Ukitake, have noted a striking resemblance between Ichigo and Kaien Shiba, the former lieutenant of the Thirteenth Division. During his training in the Dangai, Ichigo's hair grew noticeably longer and he also became slightly taller, but after losing his spiritual power, he returns to his normal form. In the seventeen months since his defeat of Sōsuke Aizen, Ichigo's appearance has remained virtually unchanged. He grows slightly taller and has sideburns. When Ichigo regains his powers, his Shinigami form changes again. A new ribbon holds his sword, and cross tattoos appear on his chest, arms, and legs. Something resembling a separate collar appears on his neck. These are the signs of Ichigo's complete subjugation. After Ichigo's training at the Soul King's Palace, his attire changed: he now wears a white cape, a flowered bandana, and a black headband, a long white double-breasted cloak, a black sash and flowered ribbon around his waist, and white pants. Underneath, Ichigo still wears his Shinigami uniform, but with some modifications: he now has shoulder pads connected by a cross-shaped appendage on his chest, with his swords attached to them; a white cloak with black markings is tied around his waist, and small black bands resembling wristbands are worn on his wrists.

Nature

As a child, Ichigo considered his mother to be the most important person in his life; he would always smile when she was around and would usually hold her hand. He would cry after every loss at the dojo, but would smile again when Masaki came to pick him up. When Ichigo was very young, he heard his father tell him that his name meant "one who protects", and he decided to protect his mother. After his sisters were born, he began visiting the dojo more often because the number of people he wanted to protect grew: he wanted to protect his loved ones and even strangers. As a teenager, Ichigo is stubborn, hot-tempered, impulsive, and determined. Despite Kurosaki's claims that he does not care what others think of him, he tries to maintain a "cool" image by always frowning and drawing his eyebrows together. Ichigo understands and admits that with his personality, he will not be able to back down from a fight if someone challenges him. Coldly refers to teachers as "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, ranking 23rd in the top 10 in his class. He tries to study hard, does not laze around at home, and does his homework, trying most of all to refute the opinion that has been formed about him, mainly due to his hair color and fights. Ichigo hates fortune tellers, horoscopes, feng shui, psychics, and any other people who sell for money what others cannot see. He has a hard time remembering faces and names. Ichigo is extremely shy, and Ichigo often addresses his elders in a disrespectful manner, for example, calling Commander-in-Chief Yamamoto "old man" and addressing many captains simply by their first names.
