Shin'etsu Kisaragi (如月 信越, Kisaragi Shin'etsu) was a Shinigami from the First Division and the father of Shūsuke Amagai.  When the Kasumiouji Clan began manufacturing the Bakkōtō, Central 46 denied captain Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's request to investigate the compound. Nonetheless, Shin'etsu offered to sneak in anyway. While there, Gyōkaku Kumoi found him and forced a Bakkōtō on him. Kumoi then ordered for him to kill the person that sent him. He returns to Yamamoto, but his captain unleashes his Shikai to defend himself. Despite his hesitation, he kills Shin'etsu. Shūsuke finds his dying body and hears his father's last words, "Beware the Bakkōtō".  (Source: Bleach Wiki)

Ichigo Kurosaki is a rather normal high school student apart from the fact he has the ability to see ghosts. This ability never impacted his life in a major way until the day he encounters the Shinigami Kuchiki Rukia, who saves him and his family's lives from a Hollow, a corrupt spirit that devours human souls.

Wounded during the fight against the Hollow, Rukia chooses the only option available to defeat the monster and passes her Shinigami powers to Ichigo. Now forced to act as a substitute until Rukia recovers, Ichigo hunts down the Hollows that plague his town.
