o1 Kurosaki Ichigo 黒崎一護 is the protagonist of the series.Somewhat like Shinji,he is both shinigami & hollow.
Shinji wished to recruit our favorite Strawberry in their sect group of vaizards.When Ichigo finally accepted and told the rogue shinigami his true reason for joining with them.This statement angered Hirako-kun and soon both started to fight.
Their relationship is quite troublesome and not to mention querrelsome!
o2 Inoue Orihime 井上織姫 is Ichigo's sweet,yet clumsy friend.She has romantic feelings for him.However,as always,the guy is completely oblivious about it.
I think Shinji took a liking to her...Though,nothing big or anything.It's quite humorous in chap.189 (Resolve) ,both Shinji and Orihime said Good morning in the same way!
Very cute!=3 Shinji thought it was very sweet of her to have already remembered his name.For her thoughful gesture,he hugged Hime-chan!(Which pissed Keigo and Chizuru..^_^;).When Orihime and Chad encountered Hyori,the little vaizard girl wanted to kill them.However,Shinji quickly picked her up on his shoulder and told her not to mess with normal people.
So,I guess he didn't want Orihime to get involved. (Or alteast,it's what I want to believe..lol) When Orihime broke into the vaizards barrier,everyone wondered who she was.That's when Shinji revealed that Orihime was his first love (in a somewhat sarcastic tone of voice).
Of course,we all know that Hirako's is way out of Orihime's league!;) lol
o3 Sarugaki Hyori 猿柿ひよ里 and the rest of the vaizards are..well,is "family".
They all seem to get along quite handsomely^^ In chap.190 (Conquistadores), Hyori scolded Shinji and told him to not do kan-cho(Think of Kakashi's 1,000 Years Pain technique) on her if she was going to be his bride-to-be...
On Shinji's shoulder,she confessed that humans and shinigami alike despised them.With that said,Hirako comforted her,saying to not worry and that things will soon change.So,this leads me to believe that maybe the vaizards seek recognition of some sort...
