Chichiri's Guide to Bleach

Characters

The characters listed here are only the main or important characters. This page defines this as characters 1) who have a major impact on the plot (i.e. participate in a major fight or event) or 2) have an important position and may become an important character later or 3) appears in at least 2 chapters and have at least several lines of dialog for at least two of appearances or 4) a last page of one of the manga chapters gives background information on that character. Because there is still a large number of important characters by this definition, they have been divided into the following groups:

Allankars and Vizored - all allankar and vizored characters. (*)
Hollows - all the important hollows encountered.
Humans - living characters.
Shinigami - all shinigami aside from Ichigo.
Others - characters who either do not fall into another category, or whose category is unclear.

The format of every character entry is as follows:
