Kon is short for Kaizō Konpaku, which in turn means Modified Soul in Japanese. This is how we started the article because Kon is a Modified Soul. Although he has been a mascot-like supporting character from the beginning of the series, as the plot progressed, Kon became less and less present. However, he did get some time to shine in the anime filler arcs, especially the Gotei 13 Invading Army filler arc, which could easily be described as Kon’s arc. In this article, we will tell you all about Kon and his story.

He enjoyed his freedom with Ichigo’s body but was soon challenged by it. When Ichigo learns that Kon is destined to die again on the day he was born, as soon as he is found, he takes pity on him and gets Kon a plush body in the shape of a lion. Ichigo decides to give him a name that is part of the name for the Mod Souls, Kaizō Konpaku. At first, Ichigo wanted to call him Kai but decided against it and chose Kon because Kai sounded too cool. And this is how he ended up with Ichigo. Besides that, Kon can get significantly angry in a very short period, but since he is a plush lion most of the time, people mostly ignore his tantrums, suggesting that they don’t care if he has them. Also, as a plushie, he is easy to control in such a situation, so people don’t often stress themselves when Kon has one of his famous outbursts. Also, he can sometimes act selfishly and do what it takes to make himself feel good.

At the beginning of the series, Kon is accidentally put in Ichigo’s body and wants to take over it, but is eventually stopped. Ichigo and Rukia decided to keep him and put him in a plushie lion, which is his most famous “body.” As she flees from the Kurosaki Clinic, Rukia tapes Kon to the bathroom to keep him from telling Ichigo of her departure.
