Kuro

Kuro is a character only shown in the To Love Ru manga series. He is a hitman who knows Golden Darkness in the past, as he is the one who set her and Mea Kurosaki free from the Eden organization.

He is based on the main character of Black Cat, Train Heartnet.

Appearance
Kuro has yellow eyes and messy black hair. He has a black collar around his neck and wears a black overcoat.

In To Love-Ru Darkness, his hair appears shinier, making him further resemble Train Heartnet.

Personality
He seems to be very moody and hardly shows any emotions. He also takes his work seriously, like when he would go against Yami if she would get in his way.

History
Kuro was the one who destroyed the Eden organization that created Yami, setting her free. He has also fought Golden Darkness in the aftermath, but it's unclear who won the battle. Kuro also seems to be quite knowledgeable of Tearju Lunatique, but it's unknown if he knows her in person. Kuro has been hired to work with Zastin on missions and fought against him as well many times.

Plot
Kuro infiltrated a resort owned by the Tenjouin family where most of the main cast happened to be at the time and were aware that he might be after someone but unsure who (assuming it was one of the Devilukean princesses). Kuro has come across Yami once again, who tells her not interfere, as she tells him not harm her friends, including her target. When Kuro had encountered the main cast, he seemingly pointed his gun at Lala but was actually targeting Saruyama behind her, who turns out to be an alien named Khameleon, who was the one he was hired to eliminate for stealing top secrets from an intergalactic mafia.

Kuro is mentioned a few times in To Love Ru Darkness. Yami thinks of him when thinking of Eden and Mea's master. Zastin also contacted him for information about Eden and Nemesis some time before chapter 59.

Kuro was later hired by Azenda to assassinate Rito while the three Deviluke princesses are attending an event on their home planet. However, he got interfered by Nemesis and Mea, and it is very likely he will have a fight with the latter.

Powers and Abilities
Marksmanship: Kuro is a master gunman, using his guns to accurately shoot and kill his opponents. Speed: He also seems to be very fast, as he can be in one place, and then be at another place in a second.

Equipment
Guns: Kuro's primary weapon is a gun he carries around for the use of his skilled marksmanship. This gun that can manipulate psychic energy and fire the energy in the form of bullets.(Chapter 150)
