Ichigo Kurosaki becomes a Soul Reaper after a Soul Reaper named Rukia lends him her power to protect his family from a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on the psychic energy of humans. Then, Ichigo must protect Chad when he comes into contact with a spirit hiding in a parakeet, and confronts the Grand Fisher, the Hollow most likely responsible for his mother's death.
