Harutoki Ide

Harutoki Ide is a resident of Karakura Town and friend of Yasutora Sado.

Agent of the Shinigami arc
He comes by the cockatiel inhabited by the Soul of Yūichi Shibata, and learns of the curse that has brought horrible deaths to all of its previous owners. Trying to get rid of the bird, he tries to get his friends, Gitano and Chad, to take it off his hands. Gitano immediately refuses, having heard of the cockatiel's grim history. Gitano warns Chad against taking the cockatiel, but at that moment a large steel beam falls off the construction site above them. Chad manges to save his friends and the cockatiel by catching the beam on his shoulders. When Yūichi, as the cockatiel, thanks Chad for saving him, both Harutoki and Gitano are amazed at how intelligent the bird is.

On July 18th Harutoki was on his way to lunch with Chad and Gitano when the three were attacked by the Hollow Bulbous G. Chad, who was the Hollow's target, ran to draw the monster away, ignoring Harutoki and Gitano who tried to call him back.
