Who is ichigo?

Answer 1

Ichigo is a subsitute shinigami (or substitute soul reaper in the English adaption) after he met Rukia. He is 15 years old at the start of Bleach and has orange hair.

Ichigo is the main character/protaganist of the hit anime/manga series, Bleach, aired mon-thurs at 12:30 am on adultswim on cartoonnetwork EST.

His name means his age, as ichi is Japanese for 1 and go is means 5, though the Japanese wording changes for fifteen, as it is not normally broken up into a 1 and a 5. Ichigo means 15,

Because of his immense spiritual energy, he can spot these hollow demons without receiving any training, though he soon meets up with shingami (god of death in Shinto) that comes from another world, called the soul society. This warrior is a girl by the name of rukia, and she is stuck down by trying to protect him from a hollow, and in order for them to survive, she has to let him borrow some of her powers to fight it, which he does. When the transfer is complete, his spiritual pressure explodes and takes nearly all of her powers, because he is much more powerful than she is, though she has been trained in these arts, and not him. His sword resembles that of Cloud in Final Fantasy 7 as it is a buster sword, though without a sheath, which for shinigami, is not normal, as shinigami swords, called zanpakto (zahn-pak-toe), are supposed to be unleashed (initial release) and their ultimate power is bankai, which takes hundreds of years to achieve normally, though ichigo gets special treatment.

This "shinigami loan" is penalized by death in the soul society, and soon one of the 13 captains, the girl named Rukia's adopted brother Byakuya (bee-ya-cue-ya) Kutchiki (cooch-kee),

Byakuya comes to take her back to prison, accopanied by Rukia's childhood friend, Renji Abarai, who ichigo's rival, Uryu Ishida (urr-ree-you ee-sheed-ah) fights as well as ichigo before ichigo gets the upper hand on Renji and is upstaged by byakuya.

Ichigo Kurasaki has such spiritual power that it rubs off on his friends, orihime (or-ree-hee-me) and chad, who later train simulataneously, though not in the same place, to retrieve rukia for helping ichigo. Uryu ishida is a spiritual archer, or Quincy in this anime. He trains with his glove heirloom, which he masters, as he thinks that he is the last of his clan (like sasuke uchiha thinks in the naruto universe).

The man that trains ichigo at this time, (Mr. hat and clogs as ichigo calls him in the English version/dub, though his real name is Kisuke Urahara, a much revered dude in the soul society) has a few students with him and they help train ichigo's sister karin (ka-reen) as she is like a lil ichigo with the same rash cynical attitude and same chip on her shoulder, but she has some ability too.

You forget to mention his zanpakuto "zangetsu" (slashing moon)
