Tatsuki Arisawa School Characters

Tatsuki Arisawa School Characters
Tatsuki Arisawa (有沢 たつき(竜貴), Arisawa Tatsuki)

Is a character in the manga and anime series Bleach. She is 15 years old, and a classmate and a childhood friend Ichigo.

Tatsuki, even though being a girl, is a tomboy who loves to practice karate and has a dream of becoming a vale tudo champion one day. Tatsuki is Ichigo’s childhood friend and they used to go to karate together and she used to beat him up. Then after starting High School, Ichigo and Tatsuki somehow grew apart.

Tatsuki is also best friends with Orihime, over whom she is very protective since Orihime’s endowments cause guys to stick to her like butter (not only boys but also Chizuru) When Orihime was young she was being bullied and they tried to cut of her hair. Tatsuki was the one that protected her and promised to protect her from anyone who dared to make her cry. She also taught Orihime some karate.

Tatsuki has blue hair in the anime and black hair in the manga. She doesn’t look very feminine but does write her name in hiragana instead of kanji because she believes it looks cuter.

Like most of the characters who come in contact with Ichigo, Tatsuki is also able to see ghosts, hollows and Shinigami.
