“ | Live well, age well, and go bald well. And die after me. And... if you can, die smiling. 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. | „ |

Appearance[]

Personality[]
Typically, Isshin behaves in a very energetic, goofy and eccentric manner, "training" his son, Ichigo, every day by attacking him for any reason, such as being late for dinner or simply to wake him up. Isshin later shows he is not dumb as he gives off, as after revealing himself to Kon did he show himself to be perceptive in not knowing he was not Ichigo, identifying Grand Fisher as an Arrancar, and describing soul reapers powers.
When he served in the Gotei 13 as a captain, he was shown to be really lazy and carefree in his work, always counting on his subordinates, primarily Rangiku Matsumoto and Tōshirō Hitsugaya, to do the paperwork for him, which resulted in Isshin having a rather strained relationship with the first one. There were times were he would be serious, sometimes intimidating his subordinates.
