It was a rare occurrence that he came across anyone that had remotely a Japanese name. They were rare and far between, but it wasn't something that bothered him either. Ichigo was already used to being the only cougar that really ever existed in the clans. It was certainly a strange state to be in, that being a cougar meant that he was stuck in the middle ground when it came to size. Ichigo had no intention of becoming something that was bigger, because if he was his armor wouldn't fit anymore and he wasn't about to let that happen either. The over-sized wildcat was fine with the way he was, and his shape-shifting didn't necessarily like him either so he wasn't about to try his chance out with any of that. Either way, Ichigo's native language was actually Japanese. Something that others may have a chance to hear if they listened carefully with the way that he talked, barely an accent anymore as he rarely talked in his native tongue. It was almost sad but he didn't really care all that much anyway. If someone wanted to talk in English it was easier that way as most creatures were capable of understanding that language. It had been a difficult learning curve on learning English. He may have been lucky in the factor he was forced to learn around when he was considered to be an apprentice before he entered the clans.

He had a great mentor, and one that had taught him a lot in his life and would show him what he truly was. Even if the process had nearly gotten him killed, he had never blamed his mentor for that. Since he had arrived at Sunhaven, the wildcat had no need to speak in his native tongue, and no one really questioned the way he introduced himself or why his name was different compared to so many others. Not that most animals would, even with the group that he had come from they never really said anything or asked about where he came from. Having been attacked by dragons in his current form, the likes of a lion wasn't really all that intimidating to say the least. He flicked one of his rounded ears as the lion looked at all those that were gathered around him. Ichigo didn't know if the clans around this area acted any differently from the ones that he used to and this was the first animal that he had come across the border. He didn't want to overstep his bounds, and besides, he was exhausted anyway. Not having slept since he had arrived on the territory after the recent murders. When he heard the other's name, Ichigo's ears perked slightly. He figured that the male in front of him may even be a little bit older than he was. But it was blatantly obvious to Ichigo that this guy was Japanese. At least, from the other's name, and if he wasn't this was going to be slightly awkward.

A small tired grin spread across his facial features as he looked at the lion, raising one of his black and tawny paws to offer a small wave to him. "Yo. I'm Kurosaki Ichigo. Hajimemashite[sup]1[/sup] Yagi-san." Over the years chastised for not using honorifics, and so he had simply gotten used to using them. Although, he didn't use the more formal version of the honorific, and seemed to have it remain somewhat casual. His bi-colored eyes turned in attention to the female that he recognized being sick not too long ago. What in the world? He listened to the way that she spoke, and the female sounded similar to the way O'Fraiser talked when they were around each other. And he was able to acquire the female's name. Marina. Would he remember it? Only time would tell. Ichigo still had no idea that the female was still the leader but he had only been here a couple days now and hell had broken loose a long time ago.
