Kaoru Unagiya

is the young son of Ikumi Unagiya, Ichigo Kurosaki's employer.

Appearance
He is a young boy who looks around 9 or 10. He has mid length hair with bangs between his eyes and next his ears, and is seen usually wearing a white t-shirt and blue shorts.

Personality
Kaoru appears to be protective of his mother, and distrustful of other males when they come near her, warning them not to try a move on her. However, he has been shown to warm up to the presence of another male if he is in good graces with his mother, as shown when he started trusting Ichigo after his mother showed a more caring side towards him.

The Lost Substitute Shinigami arc
Kaoru wakes up from hearing his mother yelling at Ichigo. He walks barefoot into her office, despite not being allowed to do so, and complains that he is hungry. When he sees Ichigo in the office, he asks him what he is doing there and tells him not to try a move on his mother just because she is beautiful. He ends his argument with a raspberry before Ikumi takes him out of the room.

When Ichigo returns to the shop late one evening, Kaoru eavesdrops on his conversation with Ikumi. He hears her complaining about Ichigo missing work and asking for more time off. He also hears her trying to reassure Ichigo, and gives Ichigo his trust.
