"I'm Kuro, a cool and styling black cat. Mew…
Introduce me to any cute chicks. Mew…
Don't need any good-looking guys. Mew…"
-Toro! Let's Party! Trophy Description.
Kuro (クロ) is a black stray cat who serves as the co-host of Toro in the Mainichi Issho and Weekly Toro Station games. He has appeared in other titles as well, as a companion of Toro and the other pokepi, or as a group of NPCs, called the Kuroneko.
Kuro is usually seen wearing a red bowtie to distinct himself; as in mini games and other titles of the Doko Demo Issyo series, many other bowtie-less Kuroneko appear.
The Kuroneko first appeared in Doko Demo Issyo: Toro and More Parties, and they were given a profile on the official website along with the rest of the Doko Demo Issyo cast. This Kuro, with a bowtie, wouldn't make his debut until Mainichi Issho, however.
He often appears alongside Toro in crossovers, sometimes being a separate playable character.
Personality[]
Personality[]
In contrast to Toro's innocent and pure character, Kuro is mature and somewhat sleazy. His implied upbringing as a stray cat has led to him becoming street smart and wise to the world, and he is implied to be in his 30s as well. Kuro is a man of vices; he loves women, drinking, and gambling, and is often selfish and lazy. He loves to flirt and make crude sexual comments toward women, tending to be very direct and inappropriate in doing so and often being punished for it.
Kuro is somewhat of a nerd; sometimes described as an otaku, he loves to play video games and watch anime, and he is fluent in Internet culture. One of his passions is art; he loves to draw, although the quality of it is ambiguous and he tends to doubt his own ability. Kuro hates working; he longs for a life of rest and pleasure, spending his days usually doing nothing meaningful and playing video games, drinking himself occasionally to a stupor.
Despite this laziness, however, he can be very intelligent at times, with him showing a strong knowledge of chemistry during a chapter of Toro and Friends: Onsen Town, alongside giving various bits of philosophical advice throughout the story. Alongside that, he has a strong knowledge of engineering and even has his own lab in Weekly Toro Station.
He and Toro live together in an apartment during the running of Mainichi Issho and Weekly Toro Station, and Kuro leeched off of Toro's paycheck. Mainichi Issho's apartment got demolished in the final episode, however, but a new apartment is built for them in Weekly Toro Station if the player purchased a Platinya Pass. His relationship with Toro is further complex; he appears to bully him and smack him when he feels he is being stupid, but in reality, he cares for him much more than it seems outwardly.
Kuro likes to keep his true feelings and thoughts internal; he wants to give off a "cool guy" persona and doesn't want others to think he cares too much about things or other people, even if he does. Despite his sleazy and selfish nature, Kuro isn't a completely bad person; he cares for the people he is close to, and though hesitant, he can lend a helping paw when his friends need him most.
