Kazui Kurosaki

Character

Kazui Kurosaki is the young son born to Ichigo Kurosaki and Orihime Inoue, a cheerful Karakura Town boy blessed with Shinigami powers. Carefree and endlessly curious, he wields abilities that already outstrip his father's in sheer ease, if not yet in scale.

Appearance

Kazui is a small boy whose face echoes his mother's, sharing her eye shape and soft features, while his spiky orange hair comes from Ichigo, if smoother than his father's. His eyes are a large, dark orange. He usually wears a light blue hoodie over white pants, and when he shifts into a Shinigami the standard black robe forms over his clothes with the hoodie still on.

Personality

Rambunctious and irrepressible, Kazui thinks nothing of barging into Hiyori Sarugaki's home or poking at leftover traces of Yhwach's power. Perpetually bright and innocent, he stays untroubled even by the spiritual world's darker corners, happily escorting souls onward, though he does so through an eerie personal ritual rather than a proper soul burial, and he simply grins back when a skeleton on the Gates of Hell fixes him with a hard stare.

Abilities

Kazui is strikingly fast, vanishing from Hiyori's sight in an instant. Unlike Ichigo, who needed outside tools to force his soul from his body, Kazui slips into his Shinigami form and calls his Zanpakuto at will, the robe forming over his everyday clothes. He can summon big, ghostly fish that soar through the sky, large enough for him and others to ride, and by performing a set routine of claps and bows near a small shrine he opens a toothed portal said to lead souls to a realm full of others. His sword, worn across his back, has a bronze hilt and a four-pronged guard bent into a shape all but identical to his father's former Bankai; its Shikai and Bankai remain unknown.
