Bleach (ブリーチ, Burīchi?, romanized as BLEACH in Japan) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tite Kubo. Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki after he accidentally obtains the power of a shinigami from Rukia Kuchiki. A shinigami is a Japanese death personification similar to the Grim Reaper. Gaining these abilities forces him to take on the duties of defending humans from evil spirits and guiding departed souls to the afterlife.

Bleach has been continuously serialized in the Japanese manga anthology Weekly Shōnen Jump since August 2001 and has been collected in 35 tankōbon volumes as of October 2008. Since its publication, Bleach has spawned a substantial media franchise. The manga has been adapted into an animated

Rukia Kuchiki (朽木 ルキア, Kuchiki Rukia?) is a fictional character and protagonist in the anime and manga series Bleach created by Tite Kubo. In the series, Rukia is a Soul Reaper in the 13th Division under Jūshirō Ukitake. Shortly after meeting the main protagonist of the series, Ichigo Kurosaki, who can see supernatural beings such as Soul Reapers, she is forced to give him her powers in order to fulfill her duties as a Soul Reaper. Rukia was one of the first characters of the series created by Kubo, her design being the one he decided to use for all the other Soul Reapers.[4] Rukia has appeared in several other pieces of Bleach media, including the two featured films in the series, the two original video animations, and several video games.

Reaction to Rukia's character is generally positive. Her differences from typical shōnen heroines is praised,[5] as is her sense of humor.[6] Rukia usually ranks second in Weekly Shōnen Jump's Bleach popularity polls.[7] Several pieces of merchandise have been released in Rukia's likeness, including a plush doll and a figurine.[8][9]
