My theory is that perhaps this nice fellow whose name alludes me ATM, is related to Ichigo. I see him as being another survivor from the Kurosaki clan. And he sees his younger (grandson?) Ichigo as one of his "children".

I think KH/Bleach could work out. I've see it starting with Ichigo getting his Powers for the first episode, giving Sora a red ribbon when he finish the world for the first time. After, in the second episode, Sora and Ichigo go save Rukia and Sora gets some Keyblade. KH2 only had 2 episodes per world (excluding the Timeless River/Disney Castle, 100 arc woods, TWTNW, and Atlantica). I'm a KH goober; love the game.

But yeah, Isshun is indeed Ichigo's father from what Kubo has bluntly and obviously implied. And how exactly would Ichigo "steal" Isshun's bankai? In the manga, Aizen said that Isshun's bankai causes a great strain on his body. Ichigo's bankai is nothing like that, if anything, its made to last longer than most bankais.

And Isshun's zanpakuto (iirc) is Ingetsu (Which means something like Slashing moon), Ichigo's is Zangetsu, which means piercing moon. Although they are very similar, they seem to be overall different people. We have no evidence that relatives == similar Zanpakuto. If you look at Byakuya's Zenbonsakura and compare it to Muramasa (a zanpakuto spirit that belongs to Byakuya's ancestor.), they have horribly different abilities.
