Similar bands, but with white ends, lie around his neck as collars. He has four black vertical lines on his forearms and black, tattoo-like bands crossing over his chest, wrists, and ankles. After regaining his powers, seemingly caused by remaining energy from his Fullbring, Ichigo's Shinigami attire consists of a thicker strap across his chest. Seventeen months after defeating Aizen, Ichigo's overall appearance does not change, but he becomes taller again and grows sideburns.

After Ichigo loses his Shinigami powers, his appearance reverts to the way it was before his Dangai training.

After training in the Dangai, Ichigo's hair grows considerably, and he is noticeably taller, as stated by his friends. Ichigo's appearance has caused several people, including Jūshirō Ukitake, to note a similarity to Kaien Shiba, the former lieutenant of the 13th Division. It is shaped like a kite with a flat top and bottom. Initially, it was a thick brown belt to hold his Zanpakutō sheath, but it later became a red rosary-like strap after awakening his own Shinigami powers. When in his spiritual form, Ichigo wears the standard Shinigami shihakushō, with the addition of a strap across his chest. Since becoming a Shinigami, he has become noticeably more muscular, as noted by his sister Karin. He has a tendency to wear shirts patterned with the number 15 because his name is a homonym for the number. He is a fairly tall, lean-built young man with peach skin and brown eyes. Ichigo's most distinguishing feature is his spiky orange hair, a trait he has been ridiculed about for years on end.
