Ulquiorra first appears alongside Yammy when they arrive in Karakura Town to gain information on Ichigo Kurosaki. Ulquiorra retreats with Yammy once he finishes examining Ichigo's abilities, also taking note of Orihime Inoue's fate-manipulation powers.

By threatening her friends' lives, he convinces her to come peacefully, allowing her to say goodbye to one person beforehand.

His Espada number, four, signifying his rank amongst the Espada and level of power, is tattooed on the left side of his chest.
