Yasutora Chad Sado

Yasutora Chad Sado major Bleach characterChad is a supporting character in the anime and manga series Bleach. He goes to Karakura Highschool and is in the same class as Ichigo, Rukia, Inoue and Ishida. His real name is Yasutora, but because Ichigo pronounced his family name Sado as Chado, he continues referring to him as Chad.

Even though Yasutora ‘Chad’ Sado has a Japanese name, he is of Mexican descent. Chad is a quiet and considerate person who truly cares a lot about his friends and has a weakness for cute things like little animals. After Ichigo becomes a Shinigami his energy affects Chad as well and he becomes spiritually aware and later in the series also gains power.

Chad is extremely tall, towering at a height of 6’5 ½ (197 cm) and is very muscular. He looks like a solid rock and at first appearance looks menacing and much older then he really is. But we later find out that even though he looks made for fighting, Chad never stands up for himself and refuses to fight, a promise he made to his grandfather when he was young.

Chad also has a tattoo on his left shoulder which reads: Amore e Morte (Love and Death in Italian) the tattoo consists of a heart, snake and angel wings that are around the heart. Chad usually wears his school uniform but most often he is wearing a Hawaiian shirt but changes shirts throughout the series.

Like Ishida and Inoue, Chad lives on his won. He is also very smart and is the 11th best student in his school.
