Synopsis
Sora Inoue was 15 years old when his sister Orihime Inoue was born and loved her as if she was his own daughter. On the March of his 18th Birhtday he took Orihime who was then 3 years-old and run away with her, do to his parents abuse. Three years befiore the series begins, he left to work after one morning having had an argument with his little sister over the hairpins he had bought her. This would be the last time he saw his little sister while still alived. He died in the Kurosaki Clinic from wounds suffered in a car accident.

He enters the story quickly as a Hollow, Acidwire. In the anime, he is seen being dragged to Hueco Mundo to be turned into a Hollow at the behest of Grand Fisher. This is not shown or even suggested in the manga; one can assume that his feelings of being forgotten by Orihime were what prompted his transformation in this case.



Trivia
In the official English-language manga translation, he was given the name Kakei as his real name had not been mentioned at that point, but he is still called Sora in the character popularity polls. Curiously, before being purified by Ichigo Kurosaki, Sora was able to remove his Hollow mask and recover his original personality. Sora remains in Hollow form, albeit with a human head. While this is the prosses in which a Hollow becomes and Arrancar he does not become one, presumably this is because of Sora resisting his Hollow self, rather than the Hollow itself removing the mask.
