1) In the future please try an read previous comments to see if your issue has already been answered (which in this case it has by Lia Schifer and Tinni)

2) Just to clarify again Ichigo is half shinigami and half human as stated in the manga. Since Ishhin is a shinigami we can logically deduce that Masaki is a Human and nothing more.

3) Masaki is deffinantely not a Bount because, as you say, the Bounts are a species created only for the anime... they have not yet been seen to exist in the actual storyline.

4) As a shinigami it is not illogical to assume that Ishhin met Ryuken in some other situation as both Quincy and Shinigami have a long history together.
