Mizuiro Kojima

is a student in Karakura High School and is in the same class as Ichigo Kurosaki.

Appearance
Mizuiro has shorter black hair, parted down the middle with a stray bang in his face and the tips fanning out. He looks very young and wears the Karakura uniform with the jacket zipped up.

Personality
When Mizuiro first met Rukia Kuchiki, Ichigo warned her that he was sly with the ladies. Mizuiro countered by saying he prefers older women, Ichigo comments that Rukia should be careful, which leaves Mizuiro confused. He also likes to tease his classmate and friend Keigo by calling him "Asano-san" (Mr. Asano in the English dub), when he is overreacting, which makes him even more agitated. Despite his cheerful appearence he can be quite cruel, shown by not accepting his own mother.

Bount arc (anime only)
Note:Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.

After Ichigo punches Keigo, he walks up to Mizuiro and greets him. The two of them then walk into their classroom and greet their classmates. After noting that Ichigo and Sado got tans, Keigo walks into the room and asks them if they went off somewhere together. He then asks them if they had some summer camping romance and Ichigo punches him yet again, telling him to keep his imagination in check. He then runs off crying.

Arrancar arc
After Rukia cheers up Ichigo (albeit somewhat violently) after his defeat by Ulquiorra Cifer and Yammy Riyalgo, Mizuiro is shown calling Keigo "Asano-san" which drives Keigo hectic. They than notice Toshiro Hitsugaya's team causing chaos in their class. Unlike Keigo, Mizuiro does not interact with the Shinigami group, and after they leave, comically steps on Keigo, telling him "you[Keigo] make a superb foot-rest, Asano-san", to which Keigo angrily says he will kill him.

Later that night, Mizuiro is seen talking on his cellphone with an unnamed friend. He threatens to leave Keigo behind if he doesn't stop talking. Just than, Keigo spots a weird flying creature in the sky, but this only makes Mizuiro want to leave the former behind all the more, still calling Keigo "Asano-san".

The day after Orihime Inoue is kidnapped by Ulquiorra, Mizuiro and Keigo welcome Ichigo back to school after a long absence (due to the latter's training with the Vizard and his second fight with Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez). Mizuiro once again stomps on Keigo and offers Ichigo tickets to a Winter concert. After a long pause, Ichigo agrees to go. He is than confronted by Tatsuki about his fights with the Arrancar and asks what he has been doing. She than becomes violent when he refuses to tell her anything about it. As Tatsuki continues to scream her lungs out, Ichigo tells Mizuiro and Keigo to look after Tatsuki and also to stay far away from him. Later that evening, Mizuiro and the others secretly follow Ichigo to the Urahara Shop and witness his as well as Uryū Ishida and Yasutora Sado's departure to Hueco Mundo.

A while later, Keigo asks Mizuiro to join the Karakura-Raizer Team, but Mizuiro rejects the offer, albiet with a cheerful expression on his face, highly implying that he doesn't believe the story about his friend witnessing the attack on Don Kanonji. Instead, Chizuru Honshō, who overheard the conversation, joined instead.
