An orange-haired young man who calls himself a Substitute Soul Reaper. His Zanpakuto is a pair of blades known as Zangetsu that he dual wields. Unlike other Soul Reapers, he possesses the power of a Soul Reaper while being human.
During the use of his signature moves, Getsugatensho and Getsuga Jujisho, the ability consumes the user's Spiritual Power at the moment of the slash to focus it into high-density Spiritual Pressure, then releases it along the blade's edge to amplify and send the slash itself flying.
Ichigo arrives in the Sky Realm through Sakunagi's power, where he leads the way in resolving the abnormalities. After putting the case to rest, he flies the Sky Realm helping the crew out with odd jobs as he awaits the completion of a gate back to his world.
