Ichika Abarai (阿散井 苺花, Abarai Ichika) is a Shinigami apprentice in the Gotei 13. She is the daughter of Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai.
Ichika is a young girl with bright red hair inherited from her father, which is bound with a white ribbon in a high spiky ponytail at the back. Her face resembles that of her mother, most notably her large violet eyes. She wears a standard black Shinigami shihakushō.
Ichika is a confident child, willing to wander off without her parents' knowledge. Her mother indicated that she was prone to getting into fights. She greets Kazui Kurosaki by pointing her Zanpakutō at him while introducing herself. Ichika is easily shocked when something unexpected occurs, such as when Kazui reveals himself to be a Shinigami. Ichika is fond of her father, but dislikes monsters. Ikkaku Madarame suggests that Ichika is close friends with Kazui, but this is something a flustered Ichika denies. She also idolizes 12th Division Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Despite her usual bravado, Ichika is still a young child at heart, and was utterly terrified and trembling when confronted by Szayelaporro Granz after the Arrancar broke out of Hell.
