- Likes chocolate and spicy things.
- 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.

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
that he will fight for Ichigo that he will fight for him and if
Ichigo ever puts his life on the line for something, so will
he. (!)
