And die after me. If I can't, I won't be able to face Masaki. Don't hesitate to act. Sadness is a cool thing to shoulder, but you're still too young. Isshin is the former head of a branch of the Shiba Clan and the current head of the Kurosaki Family. Isshin is a tall, muscular man with spiky black hair and brown eyes. He has thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks.
As a doctor, Isshin usually wears a white lab coat over his otherwise more casual shirt and trousers. He has the appearance of a man in forties, as noted by his daughter, Karin. When he was the captain of the 10th Division, Isshin wore the typical Shinigami uniform, with a sleeveless captain's haori.
He had noticeably softer facial features, long sideburns, no facial hair, and slightly shorter hair with a single bang hanging over his forehead. Isshin typically acts in a goofy, energetic, and fun-loving manner. Loud voice, big smile and a wide range of facial expressions are his trademark features. He's prone to attack his son all of a sudden for every reason, from being late for a dinner to simply waking him up. Like he claims, it was all to make Ichigo stronger, which actually paid off.
Initially starting the fun with his daughters he finally took almost all of Ichigo's friends with him. During his time in Gotei 13 , Isshin was a lazy and carefree captain who often tried to make his subordinates do his work for him. For this reason he was on bad terms with Rangiku Matsumoto who was often forced to call him back to order.
Isshin also has a perverted and lecherous side. He commented on how Rangiku's boobs were shining from sweat and pointed out to Ichigo that his sisters, who were piggybacked by him, weren't wearing underwear. Whether he succeeded or was unable to learn this technique is unknown. On June 4, , [14] Hitsugaya reported the death of a Shinigami in Naruki City two months ago, and Isshin expressed knowledge of the incident, fully aware the Gotei 13 was already investigating the incident. When Hitsugaya further reported two more individuals had died within the past month alone, Isshin, concerned with the disappearances, decided to investigate them alone, knowing Rangiku and Hitsugaya were not strong enough to assist him.
