Original: no you will see the answer to your question. Starting from episode n° 206
yep his dad a soul reaper look @ episode 111 on 17:03 its REAL
New: Ichigo finds out that his father is a soul reaper at the end of Chapter 397
He used to be a captain.
he has always been a soul reaper
he was deserted in the soul society so he went to the world of the living
As far as we know, only Ichigos father is from the soul society. They mentioned he was a former captain, and that would explain why Ichigo and karin can see ghosts. I don't believe that their mother was a soul reaper.
He used to be.
This means that the soul reaper can go on as a soul reaper but he/ she doesn't have the authority of one.
soul reaper years are basically souls...yeah.
No one, he was born a soul reaper but deserted the soul society to go to the world of the living where he met Ichigo's mom. If they found him and he hadn't come to fight Aizen then he would probably be dead because the Shinigami would kill him for desertion.
episode 144
I wish I could become a soul reaper So I can do good stuff to help others out and give a fighting change of what you want to get in life to help souls to go to soul society
A soul reaper is usually stronger because the soul reapers have swords but if by hollow you mean arrancar they are kind of equal
Literally Soul Reaper means Death God. They are characters in an anime and manga series called Bleach.
