Considering Isshin, who was/is a shinigami HAD to become human to keep Masaki alive, means that Ichigo is both human and shinigami. Add to it that Masaki was a Quincy who went through hollowfication, you get a human/quincy/shinigami/hollow hybrid >_> (Ichigo is every race, that was to be expected. side note: his 'fullbring' came from his "hollow powers")
