Poem:
Kubo's interview from fanbook:
I've translated [not me, credit to czeliate from Bleach Asylum] some of the interview, I'm just going to skip the first few ones because I didn't have time (very sleepy now) and I think it's something we already know.
Here's a bit of summary for the untranslated part:
Kubo says initially he thinks 3 years for Bleach might be enough and he might get bored after that, but as he keeps drawing, he finds it enjoyable, hence he continues to draw, till now. It was the moment when Aizen fake his death that makes him continue to draw Bleach. The editor ask him about his greatest and worst moment in this 13 years. He replied TV and live action is his best moment and getting sick is his worst moment.
The editor then ask how he came out with Shinigami, Kubo says he drew Rukia in a school girl uniform holding a grim reaper weapon, but someone has already created that kind of similar design in the movie, he thought about death gods who are always in Skeleton wearing a black robe, and that's how he created shinigami, with black kimono. Kubo then says he thought about guns as the main weapon when the character was dressed in black uniform western style, but when he change the design to japanese style, sword is the main weapon in order to match with kimono.
and here's the translated one:
Gotei 13 character design
-- Which character design comes first and in what order?
Kubo: Initially I designed Rukia, then Renji and Byakuya, then based on the character's debut in an order,then from there I decided on the Gotei 13 captains.
-- How did you design each of the Gotei 13 characters?
Kubo: I have a lot of characters' appearance in my mind. Between them, I pick those by trying to imagine which characters will group well together. Hence in regards to Gotei 13,appearance is the first. In short I drew all the members' look first then thinking "Oh, so that's how this character is", and that's how I design them. Therefore, I've already decided on the characters' look even before they made their debut. Before the characters' debut I thought about what kind of personality should I give to the person, I've created the character before I named them. Characters who are not design in that way and were added intentionally are Aizen and Hitsugaya. In the beggining, Aizen is not included in the Gotei, I designed him because I wanted to draw (characters) that contradict to Gotei 13, but at the time, the 5th division members are not full yet so I just let him become the captain. As for Hitsugaya, I wanted to draw a child character, these 2 were designed to be included in the Gotei 13.
-- For 13 years, do you have changes in awareness of characters design?
Kubo: Name and look etc, in the real world arc I'm still restrain it deliberately, but after the appearance of shinigami I became more flexible. In the arrancar arc, the design of characters' hairstyle has become more fancy.
-- Are there any characters that were included for additional role?
Kubo: I drew without realizing it, once I put the characters together, I thought : will this character and this character have relationship? *didn't understand the next line* Hisagi and Kensei were created this way.
-- After Yamajii dies, Shunsui became the captain commander.
Kubo: I still quite like Yamamoto's character. Up until now his presence is still absolute. His influence is very significant, if he's gone, I wonder what will happen, I wanted to draw this feeling. That's why I decided to let him live before the final arc and let him die in the final arc. But at the same time it's hard to pick who will be the next captain.
I decided to pick Shunsui as the next captain commander, because he is the only one that has tolerance like Genryuusai. Even though Ukitake is quite similar, his body is weak, furthermore I've already decided to let him fall on other place.
In regards to Shinigami
Spoiler!
-- Do you have particular feelings on any characters?
Kubo: who would that be, I love all of them. Hitsugaya has a strong linked towards Aizen, at the time I just think it'll be good if he's quite popular. He's not on Ichigo's side but as part of the Gotei 13 he plays the central role to find the culprit, so I'm pretty happy when he's quite popular (laugh)
-- Which character you find easiest to draw and easiest to control?
Kubo: Mayuri. Mayuri and when Kenpachi appears, the story goes smoothly. I also enjoy thinking about techniques that Mayuri is using in the battle. He's the kind of character that I can draw where his performance is different to others, and without the use of swords to battle. Kenpachi is the opposite, it's good to draw a battle which only depends on sword.
-- The battle between Kenpachi and Unohana gives us great impression
Kubo: Unohana and her current character has vast difference, so I'm a bit worried that when I draw the readers will not accept it. From the beginning, I've already decided to draw Unohana this way. In the Soul Society arc, the name Yachiru was meant for Unohana. Hence, Unohana never show her chest in the all girls in bikini color page. But when she's with Isane, who knew her real identity,she laid down her hair.
-- Soi fon and Yoruichi, it seems like a lot of readers love these two.
Kubo: I wanted to draw Yoruichi's subordinates so I created Soi fon. It seems like JUMP never illustrates a female teacher student or trust relationship, so I decided to plan Soi fon and Yoruichi's relationship carefully.
-- Do you have any stories or characters you find it hard to draw?
Kubo: Not that I know of.Komamura is pretty modest compare to others, so It's hard to describe his good side.The others have quite distinctive personalities (laugh). Therefore I'm pretty happy to learn that some readers do understand Komamura's merit.
--Komamura goes humanoid
Kubo: Originally I designed him to transform from a human to a beast, so I thought of drawing another form at some point. The design is western knight. Initially I wanted to draw him in all armor suit, hence I thought of hiding his face. When I decided Komamura's name, his face beneath his hat is formed. Komamura's personality is also similar to some part of the knight.
-- It looks like Gin betrays, but in reality that's the story. When did you decided to plan this?
Kubo: I've been thinking for quite a while when 2 kinds of development happened. Is he going to remain as an enemy, or for the sake of Rangiku. I draw while I was still thinking, till the end I've taken to the point where I can still continue the story in either of the development.
(*basically Kubo says he plans a story that can go either way, whether Gin will remain as an enemy or turn against an enemy)
-- When did you decide the way?
Kubo: I forgot (Laugh) But I adhere the storyline that could go either way with no problem. Although, in my heart I was hoping he will betray Aizen, hence this slowly happens in the story. But Gin's villain face better reflects his characteristics, so I was also hoping that he will always carry his bad guy expression. (laugh)
-- In the soul society arc, Gin makes a lot of suspecious move. Many readers think Aizen is the good guy and Gin is the bad guy.
Kubo: to be honest, this makes me happy. Cause it's what I wanted Gin to act like the bad guy before revealing Aizen's motif.
-- Within the Gotei 13 team, Mayuri has quite a unique personality.
Kubo: It's rare to see someone who change his face with just a make up. In the TBTP arc, Mayuri was thrown into the Maggot Nest, but this makes his fans more happy (laugh)
-- What about the Royal Guards?
Kubo: It's better if the royal guards are bunch of weirdos, that's what I was thinking when I draw. Their appearance look like they have been there quite some time, that kind of feeling. The royal guards have quite a feature. (laugh)
In regards to future development
Spoiler!
-- We've come into the final arc, how will the story go?
Kubo: I'm thinking "there are quite a few character's battle that I haven't illustrate, it'll be good if I can draw them". The final arc has recover some of the moments that have been foreshadowed up until now, it also has a festival kind of feel, perhaps I will make everyone appear.
(*don't really quite understand Kubo's answer*)
--Thank you so much for today! Looking forward to the 14th year of Bleach.
Again I have no time to translate this part. The editor asks which zan he enjoys drawing. Kubo thinks Byakun's senbonzakura was interesting.

Translation for Kubo's comment on each character in the fav character poll pictures
Rukia: When I draw this manga, I'm thinking of Ichigo as the protagonist of human side and Rukia as the protagonist of Shinigami side. so when I see Rukia taking the 1st pot, I couldn't be happier.
Byakun: Basically a male version of Rukia. Also, Senbonzakura was inspired by Yoshitsune Senbonzakura. I wanted to get the aristocratic samurai feeling on him
Shunsui: When I draw him I think of an Italian man. Thick body hair, droopy eyes, droopy eyebrows, and a bit of playboy personality. Also, I drew Shunsui and Ukitake as a set together.
Hitsugaya: When I draw the whole group of Gotei 13, I wanted to include a child character and that's why I came up with Hitsu
Kenpachi: Kenpachi's appearances is intimidating, and I thought he should have a pet on his shoulder and I put Yachiru there.
Mayuri: I wanted a character in the Gotei 13 to be completely nuts so I came up with Mayuri. He's fun to draw.
Yamajii: Genryuusai is such a cool character, I'm glad the readers have accepted him as the CC.
Soi fon: I created Soi fon because of Yoruichi... (*can't see the rest*)
Gin: Gin consistently has strong followers. He's been gone for a while now but I feel like he had made a great impression on the fans.
Hisagi: He was so loved by fans. In the beginning, I didn't mean to make him easy to get bullied, but I just couldn't resist when I drew him (laughs)
Nimaiya: I actually came up with Nimaiya's design a long time ago as "the man who created zan"
