i saw it being said that ichigo got his powers from urahara kisuke's hollowfication. i would like to correct that as he did not get his shinigami or hollow powers from that. he was born with both they were just hidden away inside him. his father was a shinigami so thats where he got those powers from. his mother if im not wrong absorbed a hollow ( we see ichigo actually turning into that hollow against espada number 4 ulwtf his name is :P) and thats where he got his inner hollow. im not completely sure but thats what i got from the series :)
