How names work in Bleach

Bleach gives each side its own language. Soul Reapers have Japanese names and serve in one of the 13 squads of the Gotei 13, and each one's zanpakuto has a name of its own, a release command that awakens it and, for the strongest, a Bankai. Hollows, Arrancar and the Espada take Spanish-sounding names and numbers, with a Resurrección for their true form, while the Quincy lean German. Describe your character's side, squad or power, and the generator writes original names, swords and releases that fit the Soul Society.

5 tips for naming a Bleach character

  1. Pick a side first

    Soul Reapers sound Japanese, Arrancar sound Spanish, Quincy sound German. The language tells readers where your character stands.

  2. Name the sword too

    A zanpakuto is a character of its own. Give it a name that hints at its power and a short release command, like Rise, Howl or Freeze.

  3. Make the Bankai bigger

    A Bankai name is longer and grander than the sword's. Add a second word or a title: Kurokumo becomes Kurokumo Tenro.

  4. Use numbers for Espada

    The Espada are ranked by number, and the rank is part of who they are. Pair a Spanish name with a rank and a release.

  5. Stay original

    Ichigo, Rukia and Byakuya are taken. Use the same languages and patterns, but a new sound.

Each sword has its own name, usually Japanese with a poetic meaning, like Senbonzakura (a thousand cherry blossoms) or Hyorinmaru (ice ring). The owner speaks a release command and the name to awaken it, as in Scatter, Senbonzakura, and the Bankai adds a longer name.

Bleach gives the Hollow side a Spanish flavor: Arrancar, Espada, Resurrección, Cero. Many Arrancar names are invented, but Spanish words in the title and the release fit the pattern.
