Here is Kukaku talking about Ichigo and a certain uncle of hers (a Shiba Clan clansman of course) that would be sad if something happened to Ichigo. So far we know only of one member of the Shiba clan that would be really affected by something happening to Ichigo. That man is Ishhin Shiba. But even if Isshin is not the uncle Kukaku was talking about he still is a Shiba clan member and so is Ichigo since he is his son. Also that would make Karin and Yuzu members of the clan...in a sense because they are not even aware of their existance.
