To clarify, Ichigo is a Human, part-Quincy, with Shinigami abilities. He once possessed Fullbring and Hollow abilities, but those have both since become inactive for one reason or another. He is not a Shinigami.

For full disclosure, Quincies and Fullbringers are not their own species; both are simply different varieties of Human.
