Lore & Background

Isshin Kurosaki lives in Karakura Town with his wife, Masaki, and their children: son Ichigo and younger twin daughters, Karin and Yuzu. Specifically, during the initial conflict involving the Hollow Fishbone D, Isshin is present at his home, where Rukia Kuchiki attempts to shield the family from the monster. Masaki was killed years prior by the Hollow Grand Fisher, leaving Isshin to raise their children alone until the events of the film.
