Ichigo Kurosaki

Ichigo Kurosaki was a part human, part Shinigami, part Hollow, part VIRM who was abducted from Earth by the Kenpachi Soul Reaper Clan in 1988. After his abduction, he began building fame as a legendary outlaw. In 2014, he decided to leave the Soul Reapers and operate individually, starting by stealing a precious artifact known as the Orb, unintentionally becoming a key player in the Quest for the Orb. Following his arrest, he forged an uneasy alliance with fellow inmates Rukia, Uryu, Renji, and Chad, and formed the Soul Guardians team with them a short while later in order to stop the Klaxisaur Princess from destroying the Soul Society. After the Battle of the Soul Society, he left with the other Guardians to do "a little bit of good and a little bit of bad".

A few months later, he and the other Guardians were hired by Supreme Kai and the Kais to defend inter-dimensional batteries from a monster. However, after Renji stole some of the batteries, Supreme Kai sent the Kai fleet after them, with the Guardians being saved when the fleet is destroyed by Papa, Ichigo's biological father, whom Ichigo had never met before. Ichigo spent a few days bonding with his father, but when Papa revealed that he was responsible for Ichigo's mother's death, Ichigo allied with his fellow Guardians to prevent Papa's quest to absorb all life in the universe. After killing Papa and witnessing Kenpachi's sacrifice, Ichigo continued to lead the Soul Guardians, and eventually started a relationship with Rukia.

The Soul Guardians then encountered the Saiyan Son Goku, and began racing against Rukia's adopted father Omega Shenron to procure the Dragon Ball. Splitting up into two groups, Ichigo led Rukia, Uryu, and Orihime to Wa-ria to recover the Dragon Ball from the Sosuke Aizen, only to lose both it and Rukia to Omega Shenron. Ichigo, Uryu and Orihime later traveled to a barren planet, Omega Shenron's homeworld, to confront Omega Shenron in person. With help from Edward Elric, Touya Mochizuki and Kirito, the Guardians fought Omega Shenron for a time, during which Ichigo was devastated to learn that Omega Shenron had killed Rukia, in his anger he transformed into Full Hollow Mode unintentionally giving Omega Shenron an opening to strike back and Ichigo alongside his allies were ultimately defeated. When Omega Shenron did succeed in obtaining all of the Dragon Ball, he used them to wipe out half the universal population, Ichigo and the Guardians included, except Renji and Byakuya.

Abilities
Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Physically, Ichigo's Human body is in top form. Ichigo has been trained in martial arts since he was a small child, both professionally and by Kenpachi. He has repeatedly shown great agility and coordination in his attacks. In addition to having powerful kicks and punches, Ichigo is proficient in counterattacks, takedowns, and body locks. He has repeatedly caught an opponent's weapon strikes with a single hand. He effortlessly defeats multiple enemies on a regular basis.

Enhanced Strength: Even while not in his Shinigami form, Ichigo is deceptively strong, smashing a man's head through a concrete road with a single kick.

Enhanced Speed & Reflexes: Even before learning Shunpo, Ichigo is a very fast and agile fighter. Ichigo possesses great reflexes, dodging a strike with no wasted effort and immediately counterattacking. He can strike quickly, without warning, and in rapid succession. His speed allows him to follow the movements of faster opponents to better analyze their movements, and block otherwise fatal strikes.

Enhanced Durability: Ichigo is a highly resilient man.

Keen Intellect: Despite his somewhat punkish attitude, Ichigo is analytical, perceptive, and deductive. Ichigo can determine the pattern of his opponent's battle methods and form a proper counter-strategy to defeat his opponent's attacks.

Immense Spiritual Power: Ichigo has been noted on several occasions to have tremendously vast levels of spiritual energy, well beyond most other Shinigami. His spiritual power is noted to be heavy, which surprised Renji Abarai. Ichigo constantly gives off Reiatsu at the level of a captain. Even when worn-out in battle, he can continue fighting effectively while still using Getsuga Tenshō or unleashing and maintaining his Bankai. Even at less than half strength, his spiritual energy is comparable to a captain-level fighter. His energy is strong enough to hold back the Sōkyoku, a halberd with the destructive force equivalent to one million Zanpakutō combined, using only his Zanpakutō. His Reiatsu is light-blue in color.

Master Swordsman: In terms of fighting style while in his Shinigami form, Ichigo relies mainly on swordplay.

Zanpakto: Zangetsu Hollow Powers
 * Getsuga Tenshō (月牙天衝, Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer; "Piercer of Heaven" in the English anime): At the instant of the slash, Zangetsu, absorbing Ichigo's spiritual energy, releases highly condensed spiritual energy at the tip of the blade, which, magnifying the slash attack, flies forward.[594] This slash takes the form of a crescent moon or the shape of a wave.
 * Bankai: Tensa Zangetsu (天鎖斬月, Heaven Chain Slaying Moon): Ichigo points his Zanpakutō in a straight direction, using either a single hand or both of his hands, with the cloth of his Shikai surrounding his arm and tightening during the activation. His spiritual power surges, with the smoke obscuring his being. It is considered completely out of the ordinary for any Zanpakutō. Unlike most Bankai forms, which usually create some sort of massive creature or effect, Ichigo's Bankai shrinks his sword down to a daitō (Japanese long sword) with a black blade instead. The cross guard has four prongs bent out to form the shape of the manji (which is the kanji for "ban," meaning "full," as in "full release"). The blade itself can endure even the strongest of attacks, making it quite effective in blocking and deflecting incoming attacks.
 * Hollow Mask: Ichigo's Hollow mask has the appearance of what could best be described as a menacing skull. The mask is white, and originally had only three red stripes on the left side. To access his inner Hollow's power, Ichigo must summon the mask onto his face. He normally does this by placing one of his hands over his face, and concentrating spiritual matter on it in order to manifest the mask (previously, it had appeared on its own before he mastered the Hollow within him), summoning the mask in a "ripping" fashion. With the mask in place, Ichigo's eyes irises become yellow, and he has black sclera and pupils. His voice has a slight Hollow echo to it. With the mask, he gains access to increased physical enhancements.
 * Power Augmentation: While wearing the mask, Ichigo's Hollow powers supplement his Shinigami powers, giving him a vast increase in both strength and speed.
 * Hollow Combat: When Ichigo fights with his mask on, his fighting style becomes more instinctive than practiced. The Hollow mask makes Ichigo more ruthless.
 * Full Hollow Mode: Ichigo transforms into a monsterous form becoming nearly completely berserk.
