Kurosaki Ichigo　黒崎一護 Black SAKI One Protection

Kurosaki is common last name. Akira Kurosawa who admired by George Lucas is 黒沢Kuro sawa.

It looks his first name represents his character.

Kuchiki Rukia 朽木ルキア Decayed Tree RUKIA

Some Japanese have katakana or hiragana name without the kanji.

Decayed tree is very rare family name, but there are some kuchiki san.

Inoue Orihime 井上織姫 Well Above Weaving Princess

Orihime is Asian old fable’s heroine. Inoue is very common last name. In general, Bleach’s main characters have common last name.

In Eastern Asia, Orihime and Hikoboshi(the hero) meats once in a year, July 7th the tanabata festival day.

Most Japanese conceive looking her first name that she is heroine.

Yasutora Chado 茶渡泰虎 Tea Crossing Calm Tiger

Chado is maybe his Mexican last name. Immigrants in Japan have own kanji by their original name sound.

Ishida Uryu石田雨竜 Stone Rice-field Rain Dragon

Ishida is also common last name. For example Mitsunari Ishida is the well known samurai commander in middle century. But in my opinion, Ishida’s ishi part is same pronunciation as doctor(医師ishi). The auther named his name after job? Ishida’s father is docter.
