Masaki Kurosaki (黒崎 真咲, Kurosaki Masaki) was the mother of Ichigo Kurosaki who was killed trying to protect her son from Grand Fisher, who used the forms of people who he had devoured, mostly women, to attract other humans. Ichigo, who at the time did not know the difference between seeing ghosts and humans, saw Grand Fisher's lure and ran after it.
