Ichigo Kurosaki
Bleach is the most style-driven of the big shōnen series, and Tite Kubo has been open that he designs the image first and works out the story afterwards — the black kimono, the oversized cleaver-like sword, the sparse white backgrounds and heavy negative space are the point, not the setting dressing. That approach produced some of the most imitated page layouts in manga and a series that is frequently more interesting to look at than to follow.

Who is Ichigo Kurosaki?
Bleach is the most style-driven of the big shōnen series, and Tite Kubo has been open that he designs the image first and works out the story afterwards — the black kimono, the oversized cleaver-like sword, the sparse white backgrounds and heavy negative space are the point, not the setting dressing. That approach produced some of the most imitated page layouts in manga and a series that is frequently more interesting to look at than to follow. Ichigo himself is a teenager with orange hair who can see ghosts, given a soul reaper's powers and pulled into an afterlife bureaucracy with its own courts and executions. His defining trait is stubbornness in the face of institutions telling him the rules; his defining problem is a second personality inside him that is stronger and enjoys it.
