BleaCH

Bleach
Bleach follows the life of Ichigo Kurosaki, a 15-year-old high school student with the ability to see ghosts, and a shanigami (Soul Reaper or, literally, "death god") named Rukia Kuchiki, who runs into him one day while searching for a Hollow (an evil spirit). During the ensuing confrontation with the spirit, she is wounded and forced to transfer virtually all of her powers into Ichigo. Thus the adventures of Ichigo and Rukia begin. Together they search for hollows and perform soul burials on wayward souls, cleansing the spirits and sending them to Soul Society.
The early parts of the story focus mainly on the characters and their past, rather than the actual occupation of the shinigami. However, as events unfold, the story begins to delve deeper into the world of these gods of death on the "other side" called Soul Society.

Ichigo

Occupation
High School student Birthday
July 15
Height
174 cm (5' 8½")
Weight
61 kg (134.5 lbs)
Blood type
AO

Character:

Ichigo is a tough 15-year-old. He attempts to cultivate a detached image, and to this end 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. Ichigo claims that he does not care what others think (about his hair and other subjects) and seems to enjoy fighting the bullies. Ichigo often teams up with Chad to fight these battles.
Ichigo likes chocolate and spicy food.

Ruika

Ocupation

Weight

Sode no Shirayuki

Character:

She is an accomplished actress, being able to act her way through a number of tough situations. Ichigo seems to be the only one to always pick up on it and accuse her of pretending. She also seems to enjoy drawing (rather badly). Rukia loves Chappy the Rabbit and is rather put out when she is unable to obtain Chappy Soul Candy because of its popularity in Soul Society.

Orihime Inoue

Occupation
High School Student
Birthday
September 3
Height
157 cm (5' 1¾")
Weight
45 kg (99 lb)
Blood type
BO

Character:

She is friendly, sensitive, and kind. She comes off as naïve and rather clueless, which is at odds with her consistently high marks in school . She has a tendency to rush into situations without thinking, sometimes leading to embarrassing consequences. At one point in the manga, the schoolgirls ask Rukia if she has feelings for Ichigo. When Rukia denies any such thing, Orihime is disappointed that Rukia does not share her sentiments, because if she had, then it would be two girls against one boy, which of course makes no sense . Orihime has also demonstrated that she is perceptive, mostly when it comes to Ichigo Kurosaki. She also tends to have an overactive imagination and gets carried away thinking of implausible scenarios (such as portraying herself as a futuristic, and apparently highly destructive robot in an assignment asking "How do you see yourself in the future?", when the question refers to what occupation one wishes or believes he or she will have ). Apparently, she is hopeless when it comes to technology because one of the members of the Handicrafts' Club remarks she is not smart enough to use a cell phone, which is why she does not have one.

Character:

Chad is a teenager of Mexican descent. He is extremely tall and appears to be much older than he really is. Not only does he possess extraordinary toughness, being able to survive the impact of a falling steel girder on his back and a head-on motorcycle collision, he has superhuman strength: enough to swing telephone poles around with ease.

Kisuke Urahara

Character:

Kisuke Urahara always wears traditional Japanese wooden sandals and a bucket hat, which has earned him the nickname Geta-boshi . He is generally a laid-back, jovial fellow, although he can be deadly serious when the situation warrants it. Yoruichi notes that he tends to go over the top with whatever he becomes passionate about. He once described himself as a 'mere honest, handsome, perverted businessman'

Ishida Uryu

Uryu Ishida is a black-haired bespectacled (thus referred to as four-eyes by some classmates) teenager of average height. He is generally shy and quiet, but tries extra hard to act cool around people. He operates on a moral ethic known as the Pride of the Quincy, and has a strong sense of justice.
At school, Ishida wears the school uniform along with a tie, while outside he dons white Quincy clothes with blue stripes representing the Quincy cross, and a cape.

Occupation
Shinigami, lieutenant of the 6th Division
Birthday
August 31
Height
188 cm (6' 2")
Weight
78 kg (172 lb)

Character:

Renji is one of the more memorable characters in Bleach, even if only in terms of his appearance. He has long light crimson hair, usually kept in a high ponytail, and his entire body appears to be covered in tribal tattoo work. How he got these tattoos is unknown, but it appears that with every achievement Renji attains, his tattoos increase as well, from his early days as a shinigami candidate till when he was imprisoned by Byakuya Kuchiki (his tattoos cover his entire back at this point of time). He had no visible tattoos before entering the Shinigami Academy.
