Name: Ichigo Kurosaki

Appearance:Has orange hair and is lanky
Height 174 cm (5' 8½")
Weight 61 kg (134.5 lbs)

Name: Zangetsu ( lit. Moon Cutter)[4]; the spirit takes the form of a middle-aged man wearing tinted glasses and a black coat.
Initital release: Zangetsu takes the form of a large and elegant cleaver as tall as Ichigo is. It has no command phrase as it is always active.
Final release: Named Tensa Zangetsu ( lit. Heavenly Chain Moon Cutter), Zangetsu takes the form of a nodachi with a black blade and a manji crossguard. When Ichigo uses Zangetsu's final release, he is wearing a coat identical to the spirit's. In this form, Ichigo's speed is greatly increased, exceeding the velocity of flash steps.
Abilities: Getsuga tenshô ( lit. moon sky-piercing fang), an energy attack that fires blue-colored blasts of spiritual power in the shape of a crescent. When used with the final release form, these blasts are black and red and their path can be controlled.
History:Ichigo's mother, Masaki Kurosaki, began taking him to a dojo to learn karate when he was four years old.[4] There, he met and fought with Tatsuki Arisawa, whom he lost to the first few times. Whenever this happened, he'd start crying, only to stop instantly when comforted by his mother, to whom he was deeply attached. Tatsuki described Ichigo as a thin child, who looked very happy and always smiled when around his mother.
When Ichigo was nine, Masaki was killed by the hollow Grand Fisher, although Ichigo did not find out the true cause of her death until early in the main Bleach storyline. After her death, Ichigo was distraught and stood on the shore where his mother was killed for days. The entire Kurosaki family transformed at the death of Masaki — Karin became tough and did not cry again, while Yuzu took up the household chores. Prior to learning about Grand Fisher, Ichigo felt guilty for his mother's death, blaming himself for wandering too close to the water and causing her to put herself in harm's way to save him. Even after that, Masaki's death continues to influence Ichigo by causing him to feel guilt for his inability to protect those close to him: because of this guilt, Ichigo developed a resolute will to gain the power to protect his loved ones.
Three years before the main storyline, Orihime Inoue's older brother Sora died in the Kurosaki clinic from injuries acquired in a car accident. Ichigo watched as Orihime cried for her brother, although he did not find out that the crying girl he saw was Orihime until a short time before the main storyline.
While in junior high school, Ichigo met Yasutora Sado, then from Mashiba Junior High, who helped him out of a fight. Ichigo called him Chad because of the nametag he was wearing, which can be read either Sado or Chado, and continued using the name after being corrected. Chad, although extremely strong, was often the target of beatings because he refused to fight for his own sake due to a promise he had made as a child to his grandfather. Upon discovering this, Ichigo made a deal with Chad in which they both agreed to fight for each other and risk their lives for something the other was willing to risk their life for.
Personality: Ichigo is a 15-year-old who attempts to cultivate a detached image, for which he keeps his eyebrows constantly furrowed and his mouth always in a scowl. However, he is revealed to be kinder and more intelligent under the surface than his appearance and attitude would suggest. Ichigo has natural orange hair, a fact that annoys many upperclassmen in his school who constantly pick fights with him.[3] Ichigo claims that he does not care what others think (about his hair and other subjects) and seems to enjoy fighting the bullies.
Ichigo is also a capable student, ranked at 23 of 322 in his school. Ichigo regularly studies and doesn't neglect his schoolwork, due to the fact that he has nothing better to do at home. It is later revealed that Ichigo works so hard only to overcome the misconceptions that many teachers tends to have about him, based on his hair color and his attitude to fight with other students.
Ichigo possesses the unusual ability to see, communicate and touch ghosts as a consequence of his innate spiritual power. After the full extent of Ichigo's immense spiritual power is unlocked as a consequence of his meeting with Rukia Kuchiki, many of his friends begin to develop spiritual powers due to their proximity with him. Constant exposure to Ichigo's energy causes several of his classmates to become spiritually aware, and some even develop their own unique powers as a result.
Ichigo lives with his father Isshin Kurosaki and his two younger sisters, Yuzu and Karin. His father runs a small medical clinic in their house, and recruits the entire family in his business. While Ichigo's father is portrayed as a comical, inept character who often challenges his son with mock attacks and berates him for being late for dinner, his two younger sisters both have the ability to see ghosts to a lesser degree. They are also more normal than their father.
Ichigo likes chocolate and spicy food. His favorite celebrities are Al Pacino and Mike Ness and the person he admires most is William Shakespeare. He is uncomfortable around nude or immodestly dressed women.
