Bleach the new toilet cleaner?

Taken from my cell phone earlier this evening at Roppongi. Anyone know who he is? Update: Thanks to RudeBoyAbroad for the details : He's called Ichigo and he's a Shinigami. He fights supernatural bad guys in the series called Bleach. So named because he cleanses souls so that they can pass on to the afterlife, and because the creator liked the Nirvana album "Bleach." Wow, a whole wikipedia dedicated to the series.

Are you asking who the orange-haired character is? Bleach is actually a really popular series...his name is Ichigo and he's a Shinigami. That is to say, he fights supernatural bad guys with a giant-ass sword.

Thanks Rude Boy.
So what's the reference to bleach?
because he dyes his hair?

When I explain to people what it means in English, they either laugh for an hour straight or just kind of frown sideways at me.
