A female [[shinigami]] from [[Bleach]]. She was a key component in starting the plot of the series. In the beginning of it, she gave her powers as a shinigami to [[Kurosaki Ichigo]] in order for him to defend himself and his two sisters [[Kurosaki Karin]], and [[Kurosaki Yuzu]] from an attack by a hollow. The name of her zanpakuto and signature bankai is called Sode No Shira Yuki and Some no mai Tsukishiro which completely immobilizes her opponent by freezing them solid, then instantly killing them when the ice is shattered. Her voice is played by [[Orikasa Fumiko]] in Japanese, and [[Michelle Ruff]] provides her English dub voice.
