Renji Abarai
Also known as: Red Pineapple
A tattooed lieutenant from the worst district of Rukongai who clawed his way up the Gotei 13 to stand beside Rukia again after letting her go once. His zanpakuto Zabimaru, his rivalry with Ichigo, and his decades of pining structure most of his fic.
Other Bleach Characters
Ichigo Kurosaki
26k works
A scowling Karakura teen who could always see ghosts, handed a Soul Reaper's powers by Rukia and dragged into every afterlife war since. Part human, Quincy, Hollow, and Shinigami, he protects first and asks questions never — the engine of the entire series.
Rukia Kuchiki
14k works
The Soul Reaper who changed Ichigo's fate by lending him her power, a Rukongai orphan adopted into the noble Kuchiki clan and nearly executed for that single act of kindness. Her ice zanpakuto and her terrible rabbit drawings are equally iconic.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
8k works
The Sexta Espada, a panther-souled Arrancar who refuses to let anyone but himself kill Ichigo and keeps showing up to demand a rematch. That obsessive rivalry made Grimmichi one of Bleach's defining ships long after his canon role ended.
Byakuya Kuchiki
7k works
Captain of Squad Six and head of the Kuchiki clan, a nobleman so bound by law that he nearly let his adopted sister die to uphold it. His cherry-blossom zanpakuto Senbonzakura and his buried grief for his wife Hisana define Soul Society's coldest pretty face.
Inoue Orihime
6k works
The gentle healer whose Shun Shun Rikka can reject reality itself, kidnapped to Hueco Mundo for a power even Aizen coveted. Orihime's boundless empathy and eventual marriage to Ichigo keep her at the center of Bleach's ship wars.
Hitsugaya Toushirou
6k works
The prodigy captain of the Tenth Division, an ice-wielding child genius perpetually mistaken for an elementary schooler. Hitsugaya's old-soul weariness and Hyourinmaru's dragon power made him Bleach's long-reigning popularity poll king.
