Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on June 26, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Tite Kubo! May your day be filled with more excitement than Ichigo's endless battles and fewer plot twists than Aizen’s master plans. With over 78 million copies of "Bleach" sold by 2012 and an epic run surpassing 556 chapters, you've certainly earned a celebration grander than Soul Society itself.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as fans felt seeing the return of "Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War." Your creativity continues to captivate us all—proving once again that you're truly timeless (unlike certain Shinigami). Cheers to another fantastic chapter in life; may it never go on hiatus!
