Orihime Inoue

Orihime Kurosaki (née Inoue) is the tritagonist of the Bleach franchise. She is one of the childhood friends of Ichigo Kurosaki (along with Tatsuki Arisawa) and also his love interest (later girlfriend and wife), as well as a student at Karakura High School.
In Japanese, she is voiced by , and by in English (who also voiced Mikuru Asahina). In the 2018 live-action film, she was portrayed by , the former who portrayed Nadeshiko/Kamen Rider Nadeshiko in Kamen Rider Fourze.
==Appearance==
Orihime is a middle-aged teenage girl with long orange (dark auburn in the TYBW anime) hair and large round gray eyes (brown in the TYBW anime). Although she is skinny, she has a very curvaceous figure with quite large breasts.
Seventeen months after Aizen's defeat, Orihime's hair becomes fuller and wavier. Her bangs naturally frame her face without her hair clips and also hang over her ears. She stopped wearing her hair clips and instead keeps them clipped onto the left collar of her school uniform.
==Personality==
Orihime has a very bubbly personality. She is very sweet and is a good friend to almost everyone. She can be clumsy and she sometimes studders or blushes when she is around Ichigo but started to be more comfortable around him. Her crush on Ichigo started to turn into pure, unconditional love for him. 
When she was leaving to Hueco Mundo, Orihime almost kissed Ichigo's sleeping form but could not bring herself to do so and she tearfully confessed her feelings for him. She is somewhat jealous of Ichigo's and Rukia's relationship and she confessed to Rangiku Mastumoto about how she felt bad for thinking that way and that she cares so much for both Ichigo and Rukia and that she should be happy. 
She is known to invent some of the strangest foods with the combinations of different condiments, in pretty much to everyone's disgust. When it comes to situations in which it involves her friends, she does whatever she can to get strong enough so that she would not be a burden to them and tries to protect them.
==Trivia==
*Orihime bears a resemblance to Kyrie of Devil May Cry 4. Similarities include both being voiced by Stephanie Sheh, having the same hair color and personality. The Arrancar dress she wears resembles Kyrie's dress.
*In the live action film, she is portrayed by Erina Mano, but Sheh still reprised her role as her for the English dub of it.
*She has also been known for spinning a leek, which ended up becoming a meme called Leekspin.
*Orihime and Hinata Hyūga from the Naruto series have the same English voice actress. Coincidentally, they both have a kindhearted and sweet personality and both end up with the main character from their respective series.
*Orihime was born on September 3, 1985, making her a Virgo on the year of the Ox.
*Orihime is one of the most controversial characters in the entire series, as many fans dislike her for her low usefulness most of the time, her fairly weak contribution to the plot, her love for Ichigo being her main defining characteristic, and her infamous overuse of the word "Kurosaki-kun" in anime. On the other hand, a large part of the fans appreciate her for her cute, funny, and sometimes slightly silly behavior (especially considering her tragic past), absolute selflessness, putting the good of others above her own, and well-written relationships with some characters, such as Ulquiorra and Riruka.
