Kurosaki-kun, you know I had a lot of things I wanted to do... I want to be a teacher... I also want to be an astronaut... and also make my own cake shop... I want to go to the sweets bakery and say 'I want one of everything'... Ohhhh, I wish I could live life five times over. Then I’d be born in five different places, and I’d stuff myself with different food from around the world... I’d live five different lives with five different occupations... and then, for those five times... I’d fall in love with the same person...

Maybe it's impossible to feel exactly the same way as another person, but it's possible for people to care about one another and to place their hearts as close together as they can manage. I'm sure that's what it means to make your hearts as one.

~ Orihime to Ulquiorra Cifer.
Orihime Kurosaki (née Inoue) is the tritagonist of the Bleach franchise. She is one of the childhood friends of Ichigo Kurosaki and also his love interest (later girlfriend and then wife), as well as a student at Karakura High School.
In the Japanese dub, she is voiced by Yuki Matsuoka, and by Stephanie Sheh in the English version (who also voiced Mikuru Asahina). In the 2018 live-action film, she was portrayed by Erina Mano, the former who also portrayed Nadeshiko/Kamen Rider Nadeshiko in Kamen Rider Fourze.
Orihime is a fair-skinned tall beautiful teenage girl with long ginger colored (dark auburn in the TYBW anime) hair and large round gray eyes (brown in the TYBW anime). Although she is skinny, she has a very curvaceous figure with quite large breasts.
Seventeen months after Aizen's defeat, Orihime's hair becomes fuller and wavier. Her bangs naturally frame her face without her hair clips and also hang over her ears. She stopped wearing her hair clips and instead keeps them clipped onto the left collar of her school uniform.
Personality[]
Orihime has a very bubbly personality. She is very sweet and is a good friend to almost everyone. She can be clumsy and she sometimes studders or blushes when she is around Ichigo but started to be more comfortable around him. Her crush on Ichigo started to turn into pure, unconditional love for him.
When she was leaving to Hueco Mundo, Orihime almost kissed Ichigo's sleeping form but could not bring herself to do so and she tearfully confessed her feelings for him. She is somewhat jealous of Ichigo's and Rukia's relationship and she confessed to Rangiku Mastumoto about how she felt bad for thinking that way and that she cares so much for both Ichigo and Rukia and that she should be happy.
She is known to invent some of the strangest foods with the combinations of different condiments, in pretty much to everyone's disgust. When it comes to situations in which it involves her friends, she does whatever she can to get strong enough so that she would not be a burden to them and tries to protect them.
Trivia[]
The Comparison.
Orihime bears a resemblance to Kyrie of Devil May Cry 4. Similarities include both being voiced by Stephanie Sheh, having the same hair color and personality. The Arrancar dress she wears resembles Kyrie's dress.
In the live action film, she is portrayed by Erina Mano, but Sheh still reprised her role as her for the English dub version of it.
She has also been known for spinning a leek, which ended up becoming a meme called Leekspin.
Orihime and Hinata Hyūga from the Naruto franchise share the same English voice actress. Coincidentally, they both have a kindhearted and sweet personality and both end up with the main character from their respective series.
Orihime was born on September 3, 1985, making her a Virgo on the year of the Ox.
Orihime is one of the most controversial characters in the entire series, as many fans dislike her for her ditsy behavior, her fairly weak contribution to the plot early on, her love for Ichigo being one of her main defining characteristics, and her infamous overuse of the word "Kurosaki-kun" in anime. On the other hand, a large part of the fans appreciate her for her cute, funny, and sometimes slightly silly behavior (especially considering her tragic past), absolute selflessness, putting the good of others above her own, and well-written relationships with some characters, such as Ulquiorra and Riruka.
It has been revealed a couple of years ago (around 2021) that Orihime was portrayed worse in the anime currently to unknown reasons.
Orihime is the only person in Ichigo's friend group who was never in a good financial situation, as she barely was able to pay off rent when living in her apartments, and eventually lead to her not being able to get a degree. (prior to marrying Ichigo. Do note it's not very known about Chad's and Mizuiro's financial status, therefore they are not included)
