User blog comment:Blank17/someone please edit ichigo's race to human Quincy and shinigami/@comment-5551986-20130604092619

He isn't a shinigami. He just has shinigami powers. Its like calling a chipmunk a cryptonian because it possessed powers "similar" to superman. He wasn't born in Soul Society, he wasn't born in Shinigami form. His dad was human when Ichigo was conceived.
