 - Favorite celebrities are Mike Ness and Al Pacino.
         
 - Looks up to William Shakespeare.
         
 - Name is read as 'Ichigo' with an accent on the 'I'.
         
 - When Ichigo goes to the hair salon he gets asked all sorts of questions about his hair color. He hates
         dealing with that so he doesn't go there. Usually, Yuzu cuts it.
      
 
      
      Because of his naturally orange hair people automatically assume he's a punk or in a gang.  So, he's gone through a
      lot of hardship, such as bullying from gang members or pressure from teachers, making him show a gruff exterior to
      the world.  However, unlike what most people think he studies hard and gets good grades.  He also has a kind side
      and secretly wants to live up to his name (which means "One who protects.")  He's been friends with
      Yasutora "Chad" Sado since middle school and gave him the nickname Chad by
      misreading his last name.  Also friends with Keigo Asano and
      Mizuiro Kojima.  He is currently a
      captain-level
      shinigami with an
      acting shinigami license given to him by
      Juushirou Ukitake.  However, because of the method he used to
      regain his shinigami powers at one point, he currently has a
      hollow inside of him threatening to take over, as well as having
      Shinji Hirako trying to recruit him to be a
      vizored.

      He is the only one in his family that cannot hear or see ghosts at all.  He loves
      Misao "Don" Kanonji's "Ghost Bust".
      He wants his children to live life to their fullest.  He also has an odd sense of fashion and an odd manner.
      It turns out he is a captain-level
      shinigami and an old acquaintance of
      Kisuke Urahara.  His only regret about not having his
      shinigami powers for the last twenty years is not being able
      to save his wife from being killed by a
      hollow, although why he didn't have his powers for that
      time period or how he managed to regain them is currently unclear.

      Most people call him Chad because Ichigo Kurosaki misread his last name as "Chad" and the name
      stuck.  He is Mexican but was born in Okinawa and was adopted by his grandfather at the age of 8, when his parents
      died.  Because of his grandfather's influence Chad is a gentle giant;  he hardly ever looses his temper and refuses to
      use his strength to help himself, although he is willing to use it to help others.  His strength is almost superhuman
      and he has a very high constitution.  He's been friends with Ichigo since middle school.  Also
      friends with Keigo Asano, Mizuiro Kojima, Shigeo, and
      Harutoki.  He considers a pendant he got while in Mexico more important
      than his life and has an outstanding promise to Ichigo
