Here is my translation of Kubo’s character sheet for Renji and Rukia’s childhood friends. I know a lot of people have always wanted to know their names but I think no one had shared this information among the western fanbase yet!

————–

Once the outcome of the battle between Ichigo and Renji had been determined, chapter 98 is where Renji entrusts Ichigo with the rescue of Rukia. This is the character sheet of the three childhood friends who appeared in Renji’s recollections during that moment. Character names, traits and so on are revealed to the world for the first time!

(From left to right)

藤丸 - Fujimaru

He is the tallest of the group.

Has a strong sense of responsibility and is the witty one.

小三郎 - Kosaburou

Quiet.

He is a hard worker despite his appearance.

マメ次 - Mameji

Is usually the butt of the joke.

Timid but good with numbers.

Translator’s Notes:

I believe Mameji gets his name from the fact that he’s small! ‘Mame’ is often used in Japanese for small things.
