Uryuu Ishida

Uryuu does not hold his father, Ryuuken Ishida, in high respect; he calls his father by his given name which is considered very rude in Japanese society. Despite this, in the anime Uryuu seems mildly offended when Rukia commented that the Ishida’s hospital (his father being the present director) is falling apart and Renji replies tactlessly that the hospital is only for show.

Uryuu has low blood pressure and hates procrastination. The other things he hates are quite odd: buttons (despite being an expert in sewing) and the word “haphazard.” His favorite food is homemade mackerel miso stew. The television program he likes is Don Kanonji’s “Bura-Rei.” The shadow that jumped out of the crowd at Kanonji’s first appearance was in fact Uryuu. Like his grandfather, Sōken Ishida, Uryuu is left-handed.
