Okay, i've always had my own theory of Isshin's past, and from looking at other peoples posts, it seems to fit well, so here goes.
(BEWARE: wall of text ahead

)

Spoiler for Isshin's Complete Past:

My theory is that during the Turn Back the Pendulum events, Isshin was NOT a shinigami, however some people are saying he has links to the shiba family. It could be possible that he is either not born, or still a child at this time, considering Ichimaru Gin was a young boy also.
Now sometime after these events, Isshin could have attended the shinigami academy, and graduated into one of the Gotei 13 Divisions, i'm thinking possibly 4th Division, he may have excelled in healing kidou, (Linking in with why he owns a Hospital). Many years after serving in a division he may have been bumped up to leutenant. It is also possible that he had attained bankai, and thus offered a place as a Division Captain (which explains the captains uniform over the shoulder). Now which division could he have became Captain of? My guess, 11th Division, (Which would also explain his vast amount of power shown when fighting Grand Fisher, and he wasn't even at his maximum potential at this stage).
It is also mentioned that he left Soul Society about 20 years ago.. Now if i'm correct, Zaraki is the newest of the Captains, and had only been a captain for a short time, (Excluding Amigai.. damn fillers) and he had won his place by defeating the former captain. It is possible that event took place 20 years before the story began. After being defeated by Zaraki, although it says Zaraki killed the person he was fighting, it is possible that Yoruichi saved him and took him to see Urahara in the real world, where he was healed by Tessai Tsukabishi, and then placed in a gigia, (explaining his strong link and friendship with Urahara). Now the only floor in this story that i can see, is that why dont people remember him, but from reading other peoples posts and my own theory, if Isshin was linked with the Shibas, his name could have been Isshin Shiba, and he gained the name Kurosaki when he married his wife, it is possible he took her last name.

Now the only thing I havn't took into account is his friendship with Ryūken Ishida, but he could know him for a hell of a lot of reasons.

Anywhos, theres my 2 cents.
