A teenage Shinigami wielding a huge sword, a way of avoiding death, a temper, and the nickname "Strawberry."
Ichigo is considered a delinquent by some, but in truth, he's very caring and considerate. But if he's given an excuse to get angry, he'll snatch it up. Determination is something Ichigo has always had, along with the will to protect everyone he loves. He can be a ball buster, and has little or no respect for higher ranking officers that have done him wrong in the past (i.e. Byakuya Kuchiki). However, Ichigo does have respect for some people.
Ichigo has achieved his Bankai, which gives him the ability to run and perform various other activities at an unimaginable speed. He is also a Vizard, but his Hollow side still manages to take over from time to time.
Ichigo was a motherless fifteen year old high school student when he met Rukia Kuchiki, a Shinigami assigned to watch over Karakura Town and protect it from Hollows. Right after the two met, a Hollow attacked Ichigo's family, and Rukia got injured while trying to protect them all. She offered her powers to Ichigo, and although Rukia meant to give just a little bit of hers, he absorbed all of them, rendering Rukia useless. Now, Rukia is training Ichigo to work as a Shinigami in her stead, with a few interferences here and there from both Hollows and the Soul Society.
