When the film adaptation was announced, however, Kubo decided to be involved with its production to ensure its faithfulness to the manga and anime, so that both old and new fans may enjoy it. He also stated that his only concern was the color of Ichigo 's hair, which in the manga and anime is a bright shade of orange. He said, `` If that color is in the live - action movie, it 'd be strange, so I wonder what they 're going to do ! '' Regarding what fans could expect in the live - action adaptation, Sota Fukushi, who will portray Ichigo, stated that the film would feature `` the monstrous Hollows, otherworldly Soul Society, and destructive Zanpakuto sword - fighting techniques ''. The 10th issue of the 2018 Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine released the visual for Rukia Kuchiki, revealing that Hana Sugisaki will portray the character. On March 2018, the film 's official twitter account revealed that Uryū Ishida, Renji Abarai and Byakuya Kuchiki will be portrayed by Ryo Yoshizawa, Taichi Saotome and Miyavi respectively.
