Who is Ichigo's Father, Isshin?


Isshin Kurosaki used to be a Shinigami of an unknown division and rank.
According to bleach.wikia.com:

> powers.

He still has a shikai, which he uses during the Fake Karakura arc.

Spoiler:

> Ichigo also has Quincy powers that have been implied to be related to his
