Grand Fisher (グランドフィッシャー, Gurando Fisshā?) is, when first introduced, a Hollow that has evaded the Soul Reapers for over fifty years. During this timeframe he killed Masaki Kurosaki in her efforts to protect her son, Ichigo Kurosaki. Grand Fisher's Hollow form resembles that of a giant hamster with bird-like hands and feet. A "lure" (similar to the lure or esca of angler fish) hangs from his forehead, which can take the form of anyone he wishes. He typically uses this ability to lure spiritually aware people into his grasp, making them easy meals, hence his name. In battle the lure can be used to take the form of someone close to the opponent, keeping them from attacking him. To create the perfect lure, he has the ability to use the claws on his left hand to peer into his opponent's memories for the person that they would never attack. This lure also serves as a second body in case his larger one is wounded and needs to recuperate. After Ichigo is able to defeat him in battle, Aizen at some point converts Grand Fisher into an imperfect Arrancar with a more humanoid appearance. Grand Fisher carries a large zanpakutō on his back which he releases to become a huge, monstrous creature with bull-like horns. When he tries to use this form to have a rematch with Kon, who he mistakes for Ichigo, he is killed by Ichigo's father, Isshin Kurosaki.
He is voiced by Chafurin in Japanese and Paul St. Peter in English.

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or fisher:
“An old French sentence says, “God works in moments,”M”En peu d’heure Dieu labeure.” We ask for long life, but ‘t is deep life, or grand moments, that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... no other railroad station in the world manages so mysteriously to cloak with compassion the anguish of departure and the dubious ecstasies of return and arrival. Any waiting room in the world is filled with all this, and I have sat in many of them and accepted it, and I know from deliberate acquaintance that the whole human experience is more bearable at the Gare de Lyon in Paris than anywhere else.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
