Character Summary
Early Life
Ichigo was born on July 15, presumable in 1989 or 1990, seeing as he is 15 years old at the beginning of the story. His hair color, resembling bleached hair, is natural, and has been a source for which other children teased him, as they believed he was just following a trend. Ichigo also had the ability to see spirits, though it was not realized until after the time of his mother's death.
Ichigo's family was very close, but especially Ichigo's relationship with his mother. At a young age he began taking karate lessons at the same school as Arisawa Tatsuki. He would always recieve a beating, but whenever his mother came, he would stop crying instantaneously.
Ichigo's mother was killed when he was seven years old, at event for which Ichigo blamed himself. He and his mother had been walking in the rain near a river which had begun to flood, and quickly became white-water. While walking along, Ichigo spotted a young girl standing by the river, and believing she was going to fall in, he ran after her in an attempt to save her. Ichigo's mother did not know why he was running toward the river, and ran after him, trying to save him. At that moment, she was struck by a train, and the next thing Ichigo knew, he was on the ground, covered by his mother's corpse.
For a long time Ichigo believed this to be the truth of his mother's death, but doing the "Memories in the Rain" sub-arc of the Hollow Arc, it was revealed that the young girl he saw was actually a lure used by the Hollow known as Grand Fisher. Ichigo's high spirit density had caught the attention of the Hollow, and with his ability to see spirits, he ran after the lure. Ichigo's mother had ran over to protect him, and then had her soul eaten by Grand Fisher.

Initially declining her offer, Rukia takes him to a park where the spirit of a young boy is is being attacked by a hollow where Ichigo decides that he can't just let others suffer right in front of him. He states that he is not doing it for Rukia, but as a personal duty.
