Talk:Isshin Kurosaki

Head of the Shiba Clan?
Did i read wrong, or wasn't he head of a branch family of the Shiba House, not the main family??? Gojita (talk) 11:44, March 6, 2013 (UTC)Gojita

Your are 100% correct there is not error in translation Kubo is pulling a Naruto and having the main protagonist Ichigo take his mothers last name.


 * It apparently stating that he is of a branch of the Shiba family and is likely the head of that branch of the family. In Japanese nobility it basically works that the sons of a noble house are given lesser titles and houses to head as the main assets go to the first born male. This would insinuate that Isshin is a younger son if he is the head of branch family. This would also mean that his older brother is head of the main family.--


 * @Kubo is pulling a Naruto: Do also note that it's not unknown in real life Japan for a man to take his wife's family name, especially if her family is higher on the social ladder than his or he's been cast out of his family. Depending on the exact circumstances of Isshin's disappearance (which obviously will be touched upon in the next few chapters, and probably will involve Aizen, since he's been shown in the newest chapter), it may turn out that he has a good reason for taking Masaki's family name upon marrying her.
