that could also be a reason why the kurosaki name is not so well-known in soul society. isshin could turn out to be a member of one of the noble families like the shiba, shihouin, kuchiki and kyouraku. it could explain why he is so powerful. if only we were writing bleach instead of kubo. i believe someone in this forums once suggested that we highjack the series. seems like a good idea.
