Yes. Kisuke lead him to awaken his both his shinigami and hollow powers which caused his mask and his hollow side to pop up sporadically until the Vizards taught him how to control it. However, prior to the start of the war, the only ones among the Gotei 13 we ever saw Ichigo show his mask to were Hanataro and Byakuya. Events played out in such a way that he managed to avoid going Vizard it in front of all the other seated officers until the FKT arc.
