I know this thread has been posted before but that thread is short and has gone off-topic after a few posts hence im making a new one .

Kisuke Urahara : INTJ
Genryuusai Yamamoto: ISTP
Aizen : INTJ(I think he is not an f as most people think rational temperament is neccessary for research also remember how he gets urahara into serious trouble)
Ichigo: ISFP
Uryu Ishida: INTJ
Kenpachi Zaraki: ESFP
Mayuri Kurotsuchi: INTJ
Byakuya Kuchiki: ISTJ
Sajin Komamura: ISTJ
Retsu Unohana: ESFP
Toshiro Hitsugaya: ISTJ

I don't think Yamamoto is an ISTP. If going off MBTI descriptions he should be an ESTJ but in actuality I think he could be more of an ESTP. He's got obvious ego complexes pertaining intuition.

I don't think Aizen is an INTJ but an INFJ. This isn't overly clear but his F motivations are extroverted. It's from the perspective of what other people think or feel or what is good for them, albeit in a very twisted manner. This became especially apparent towards the end when Aizen revealed his true motivations why he wanted to become the Soul King. It was focused on what he thought what was good for the people because he saw people suffering under the current rule and he judged it as bad, rather than based on introverted ethics because he himself is suffering. He projected his feelings onto people as a whole which is Fe, not Fi.

Ichigo is an INFP, not an ISFP. I see people bringing up the ISFP card all the time but Ichigo is an obvious Ne-Si user. This is the most reflected in the way he fights and his battle ethics. When Ichigo fights, he has to repeat the same patterns and solidify this pattern before he can start improvising upon that pattern. This is very typical of Ne-Si think. You see Neo in The Matrix, who is another INFP, do the same thing. Furthermore, Ichigo does not like to kill people because of the potential he sees in them. It's possibility-seek. He believes that people can change. The way he empathizes with people is also very Ne-Fi driven. He conjures possibilities in his mind (essentially, his mind-reading ability when he fights people) as to why people are the way they are and empathize with that idea. People mistake the fact that just because his fighting style is that of physical brawl and because he's aggressive and spontaneous he must be an Se type. This isn't true.

If you want to see the differences between INFP and ISFP, you should compare the character Hei (my avatar) to Ichigo. Disregarding enneatype differences, you see how Hei is so attuned to the physical world around him which is well-reflected in his fighting style. The way he improvises is to use the environment to his favor and he lacks the empathizing ability of Ne-Fi of making up reasons why people suffer. He only sees exactly what he sees. With that said, Hei has a much strong Te presence in his character than Ichigo does. Ichigo sometimes need a big Te slap in his face because his T function isn't the best. That's why he has such a good bromance with Ishida who would be his benefactor in socionics (INFj-INTp) because Ishida is capable of providing the Te logic Ichigo seeks being a Te seeker.

Another example of an ISFP with less Te and much more Se presence is Nero from DMC4.

Se is ultimately the ability to be attuned to the sense-world in an as-is manner. A glass is a glass and you see all the many perspectives of the glass (Ni). Ichigo never, ever exhibits what could be Ni except perhaps in very early Bleach up until around the end of the Soul Society arc where I think tertiary Ni probably described his fighting style and way of being much better. However, as his character actually started to grow and develop beyond the initial archetype Kubo pegged him as (also notice how he seems to change enneatype from type 8 or possibly CP6, hard to tell which, to type 4), Ichigo's perception seemed to change. For example, he has a lot of raging SiFi moments, perhaps one of the most iconic being his mental breakdown during Deicide when he thought Aizen was too strong to be defeated. Similarly, his breakdown during the fullbring arc is also SiFi-driven (and oh so 4-ish).

I am not sure if I agree with that Kenpachi is an ESFP although I think you got the functions right but not necessarily the order of preference. I think it's more likely that Kenpachi is an ISFP than an ESFP.

Mayuri is an ENTJ. He's got raging inferior Fi all over the place, my god. Compare to Ulquiorra, INTP and how his inferior manifests. It became all about proving to Ichigo how futile his attempts are.

Byakuya is more likely an ESTJ than ISTJ. He's too rigid in his judgements and it's clear he prefers judgement over perceiving. Also, his Fi is equally black and white and rigid it only makes sense it'd be inferior.

I can't even remember Komamura's personality although you're right about Te-Fi.

Unohana could potentially be an INTJ. She's clearly a Pi dom to me.

Hitsugaya is a Te dominant type to me, I'd wager ESTJ over ENTJ. Too rigid in his judgement and his Fi is very black and white and he has inferior outbursts when someone hurts Hinamori.

Also, Orihime is an ISFJ.

@LeaT, I have to disagree with Aizen. I think he's clearly an ENTX, most likely ENTJ. With the way he treats his experiments, his callousness towards those near him. He may want to take down soul king because he depicts it as evil and a threat to SS but it still doesn't show Fe. He's definitely an extrovert, we have never once seen him needing time alone, or being alone period. He naturally strives to organize events to fulfill his goal but keeps enough room open for the improbable to happen to see how that can affect his work (when looking at recent chapters. I just don't see him as an INFJ, or any feeler at that, not even an unhealthy one. To me he's a stereotypical ENTX.

I don't type him based on persona, I type him based on his cognition. His cognition isn't that of Te-Fi but clearly Ti-Fe. The only time I think I ever saw him expressing something that could seem like inferior Fi rage is when he lost his powers but even that seemed more Fe than Fi. He's talking about how people should be, it's from an extroverted perspective. He's not talking about how he's feeling but how others are feeling.

Also, I see him as introvert because he sees the world from an introverted point of view. Life and the world itself is subjective. I don't see him as an ENFJ because I fail to see inferior thinking in him but INFJ fits him well. He's awareness of Fe is what makes him so good at manipulating people and getting under their skin, and he is good at reading people and predicting their reactions and feelings because of Ni-Fe.

Stereotypically ENTx maybe, but his cognition says something different.

Only typing my preferred characters here (so no Ichigo, as I don't give a damn)

Urahara: ENTP
Rukia: INTP/ISTP. I might even see INTJ, as she is clearly a thinker and an Fi user. Her Fi is strong; she is keenly aware of it, but it's not a dominant part of her personality.
Aizen: ENTJ
Yamamoto: ESTJ
Kyoraku: Not sure. Leaning towards ENTP.
Ukitake: IxFx. Leaning towards INFP.
Byakuya: Clearly ISTJ to me.
Starrk: ISTP. Silent, strong bruiser who prefers not to battle.
Ulquiorra: INTJ
Grimmjow: ESTP
Orihime: ENFP
Toshiro: INTJ
Sado: ISFP or ISFJ.
Karin: ESTP
Renji: ESTP

How do you "generally" attribute I/E, S/N, F/T, J/P on an anime character, considering the information is very limited.

Following the bleach analysis, it seems that I/E is based on how vividly they express themselves or appear, S/N seems to be related to following the law vs having a subjective morality, F/T seems to be based on whether they can leave their emotions out of the equation when the time is needed, J/P seems to be related to how "bossy" or assertive they are.

I may be completely wrong, I'm new the whole MBTI thing and I'm also re-watching bleach right now, what a coincidence.

Urahara: ENTP
He is too flamboyant to be an INTJ, and he isn't really very righteous. Also, I can't really see efficiency (Te) in him, he just doesn't come across as a product-oriented type, but rather, has a decently strong Ti. He seemed more amused and extroverted than a typical INTP, and also, he seemed to view everything as fun, seeing how he has a small smile on his face all the time. Besides that, he had a strong use of Ne when it showed that he even prepared a portal for Ichigo to rescue Orihime, and his movements, while being calculated, aren't actually very righteous/ethical motive, but more of a cause for amusement and to help out others.

Ichigo: XXXX never liked him, never will.

Rukia: ISTX/ INTJ
I originally thought ISTJ, since she seemed to carefully follow the rules and take after Byakuya, but her dominant function doesn't really seemed to be Si.

Toshiro: IXTJ
I can't tell. Sometimes, he surprises everyone by not upholding the rules, other times, he quietly uphold and submit. Probably INTJ, but he had a strong Te, just that it's not dominant.

Orihime: ESFJ.
She can burn herself, she's literally just there to cry, pretend to be innocent, and be a perfect character for fan service.

Sado: INFP
He is extremely loyal (Dominant Fi). Doesn't seemed to use Se very much, so I'll guess INFP.

Starrk: INTP

Ulquiorra: INTP
He follows orders, but he's dominant function seemed to be Ti over Ni.

Shunsui: ENTP.
...I don't even need to explain, seriously, just look at him.

Shinji: XXTP
I can't be sure about Shinji.

Gin: XNTP

Aizen: INFJ

Byakuya: ISTJ
Like what @Eska said, I wouldn't type him as an ESTJ since he doesn't impose anything on others. He punished them for breaking the rules because he is /obliged/ to. Also, it's clear that he likes to be alone, and he doesn't really like company, as seen from how awkward he gets around others.

Ishida: INTJ

Are you saying this due to his ability to get close to people and manipulate the environment in that sense, through trust and friendship?

To me, he comes off as XNTJ.

I typed Byakuya eSTJ with a small e, because he doesn't appear like a typical ISTJ. ISTJ's don't have a dominant presence like him. It seems like the others around kind of "fears" him and tries to "follow the rules" around him. It's an unconscious "dominance". It's been a long time I've watched bleach and I only saw a few episodes, so of course I might be wrong.

Aizen as INFJ is interesting.

It's possible that Byakuya might be an ESTJ, but I think that his "dominance" aura is derived from the fact that he held so much power, such that people can't help but unconsciously fear him. The reason why I chose ISTJ over ESTJ is because he's quiet, awkward, cold, distant, and well, I don't really see him as abrasive, violent or imposing, but rather, the times when he used force make others follow the rule is purely out of the fact that he is obliged to.
However, I'm not very sure either, you did bring up a fair point about the unconscious dominant aura. I just have a small question-- I thought that ISTJ might be more unconsciously intimidating, whereas ESTJ are more...aware and used intimidation to get what they want? Perhaps that's why he might be more introverted than extroverted, and Si over Te. ^_^

Frankly speaking, I hesitated over his type, since I can't figure out whether he is an INTJ or INFJ. However, remember Hitler-- he's an INFJ, and according to the records, he didn't use trust or emotions to manipulate others either. But rather, the fact that when Aizen died, and Ichigo said that Aizen wanted to destroy Soul Society because he truly detest it, that is a rather feeling motive, from what I see. Also, Aizen seemed to be driven through pure hatred, and despair, though frankly speaking, this is all guess work. When he died, Ichigo said that Aizen might actually just want someone to see through his Shikai, and kill him. He gives off a vibe that he's driven to annihilate through emotions, not reasons. However, I admit that I can see him as an INTJ as well, so I'm unsure about his type.

My conclusions:

Ichigo - INFP 4w5 sp/sx
Rukia - ISTJ 1w9 sp/so
Orihime - ESFJ 9w1 sx/so, plenty of tertiary Ne
Ishida - INTJ 5w6 so/sp
Renji - ISTP 6w5 so/sp
Chad - ISFP
Grimmjow - ESTP
Ulquiorra - INTP
Aizen - INFJ
Hitsugaya - ISTJ
Byakuya - ESTJ
Soi Fon - ESTJ
Hinamori - ISFJ 6w7

Ichigo is definitely an Introvert. I'm not sure about Rukia since Si doesn't seem to be her dominant function.

Who wants to type Yhwach?

Idk about Yhwach, he seemed like a stereotypical ENTJ villain at first but now he's just crazy...

Haschwalth is INTJ though, especially after the latest few chapters. Some other Sternritter:
Bazz-B - ESFP
Askin - ENFP
As Nodt - A messed up INTP?
Gremmy - INTP
BG9 - Although he's a robot, I see him as an ExTJ (probably Si>Ni)
Lille Barro - ISTJ
Bambietta - ESFP
