Kurosaki Ichigo - Main Character

*Blade X* · Oct 14, 2006, 03:51 PM

Ichigo's name means "Ichi" for "One" and "Go" for "Protector." However, his name has a large number of associated puns. The most infamous is that Ichigo is also a homonym for "strawberry" (a reference to his hair color, strawberry blonde)

I think there's a convention in anime n manga where the character's personality is reflected in their names. But in this series, we see that Ichigo evolves into that role of a Death God.

left is Rukia and of coz the right is Ichigo. Dont ask me wut the japanese words there mean coz i have no idea >.<

wow but in the seriece rukia goes somewhere. Does she goes to the soul susiety to be a death god again?

mmm for the sake of others who have not watched bleach or have not reached that part yet i could say this. Soul Society have considered her to have committed a crime. Tht's all I can say.

Ichigo on the other hand truly lives up to his name as the Protector. Many times thro out the series. So keep watching it and enjoy it

The Japanese characters in those pictures are their names, Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia.

Ichigo kicks a$$.

He's like... a much smarter version of Sakuragi Hanamichi, I'd say.

The word Ichigo means strawberry and has no referrance to the color or Mr. Kurasaki's hair. Tho the Author of bleach named him Ichigo for the shear irony that his hair is orange and Ichigo means Strawberry, tho i don't find it "haha" funny at all. Stawberry's arn't orange are they? -.-
Bleach is one of my current favorite anime/manga's.

well according to the info i got that Ichigo's hair is Strawberry blonde so i dunno about that to be honest. But as Ikkaku commented on Ichigo's name, he said that those with Ichi in their name are handsome and bursting with talent. Which of coz turns out to be true.

XChaosX · Oct 16, 2006, 01:14 PM

lol. I have yet to see that out to its full truth ^.- lmao. Strawberry blond eh, THATS A LIE. It looks plain old orange to me.

Grumble Grumble Grumble

Also, the nickname that Ichigo's little sister calls him is also a pun... 'Ichi-nii' is a shortening of both the name 'Ichigo', and Big Brother 'Oh-niisan', merged together (Big Brother Ichi) but Ichi-nii' can also be interpreted as the count 'One, Two'...
