The Name
KISUKE (ki means take pleasure in and suke is for help)
We are first introduced to Urahara Kisuke as the manager of the Urahara Shop when Kuchiki Rukia was in need of special products from the other world, also known as the Soul Society.
Urahara seems to be a free and easy kind of guy with an unorthodox sense of fashion. He obviously takes pride in his humble shop that provides exclusive products to shinigami, like Rukia, in the human world. He caters to his customers needs even if the products are difficult to retrieve, as long as they're going to pay, of course. The shop is maintained and managed by himself along with his employees; Tessai Tsukabishi, Jinta Hanakari and Ururu Tsumugiya.
When Urahara discovers that Rukia was given a defected product instead of the one requested, he and his crew went out to take retrieve the defected product before serious damage could be done. Also, during this short incident Urahara gets to show his more gentle side as he assures Ururu that he's not mad at all and even gives her a hug.
Basic Appearance
Kisuke Urahara is a tall light-skinned man with messy, light-blond colored (almost pale) hair and gray eyes that are usually shadowed by his hat. He always wears traditional Japanese wooden sandals (geta) and a bucket hat, which has earned him the nickname "sandal-hat" (geta-boshi; "Mr. Hat-and-Clogs"). He also wears a pale green shirt and pants, and a dark green coat with white diamond patterns along its bottom half. It should be noted that his coat was designed to look like the opposite of a captain's haori (white with black diamonds). Urahara has also been known to carry a fan which he uses to occasionally hide his face.
During his earlier years as a captain, he wore the standard Shinigami uniform, the long-sleeved captain's haori, and his geta during his more casual events.
