Ichigo Kurasaki

The first thing that is noticeable is Ichigo's spiky red hair, a trait that has made fun of him for years. He is a fairly tall, skinny teenager with peach-colored skin and brown eyes. He likes to wear tight clothes.[7] He often wears T-shirts with the word "15" written on them, because his name sounds like "one-five".

As a teenager, Ichigo is stubborn, hot-tempered, impulsive, and determined.[25][26] Despite Kurosaki's claims that he does not care what others think of him, he tries to maintain a "cool" image by always frowning and keeping his eyebrows furrowed.[27][28] Ichigo understands and acknowledges that with his personality, he would not be able to back down from a fight if someone challenged him. He coldly refers to his teachers as "instructors".[29] Despite this, he is very compassionate and empathetic, such as promising to bring flowers[30] and a toy airplane to the soul of a dead girl.[31] He tries to comfort others when they are upset about something.[32]

Ichigo is also a good student, ranking 23rd in his class.[33] He tries to study hard, does not laze around at home, and does his homework, trying most of all to refute the opinion that has been formed about him, mainly due to his hair color and fights.[34] Ichigo hates fortune tellers, horoscopes, feng shui, psychics, and any other people who sell things for money that others cannot see.[35] He has a hard time remembering faces and names.[36][37][38] Ichigo is extremely shy, feeling very uncomfortable around naked and immodestly dressed women, which is why Rangiku Matsumoto and Yoruichi Shihōin tease him. Ichigo also often addresses his elders in a disrespectful manner, such as calling Captain-Commander Yamamoto "old man" and addressing many captains by their first names.
