Yasutora Sado or "Chad" is Ichigo Kurosaki's best friend in Bleach. He's a gentle giant who desires to use his extraordinary natural strength for good. He's known Ichigo for years and is always there to support him. However, Chad also represents a respectful and heartfelt example of Latino representation in anime. Chad's Mexican heritage is massively important to him, and his abuelo's influence defines his outlook on life.
