Do you know what Bleach characters name mean?

Today, I'll put focus on Ichigo's family.

Notes: Ichigo is the main character of Japanese anime and manga Bleach.
Bleach is one of the most favored anime right now among all the Japanese anime.

First Dad, Ishin Krosaki


黒 read "Kuro", means "black"
崎 read "saki", means "cape"
一 read "iti", means "one"
心 read "shin", means "heart"

If you read his first name literally, it will bi "ichishin" but it is read "isshin".
It will be pronounced shorter.

Next elder of the twin sisters, Yuzu Krosaki

黒 read "Kuro", means "black"
崎 read "saki", means "cape"
遊 read "yuu", means "paly"
子 read "ko", means "child"

If you read her first name literally, , it will bi "yuko" but it is read "yuzu".
Most of the Japanese will read "yuko". But it is acceptable. It could be read "yuzu"
It is a made up name by the author, but people do this kind of thing when they name their child.

Next younger of the twin sisters, Karin Krosaki

黒 read "Kuro", means "black"
崎 read "saki", means "cape"
夏 read "ka", means "summer"
梨 read "rin", means "peir"

This is a normal name for a girl in real.
