Kubo would read the Japanese version of Bleach wiki and Japanese version of Bleach fansite. But I doubt he uses them to come-up with ideas. For one, fans right for themselves. Kubo writes for himself and what he writes has to have a broader appeal. Besides which, Kubo has more imagination then his fans and sometimes having "more imagination" means having ideas that are not so out there that it is clear that people have let their brains fall out.
