Kuro

Kuro is a character in Love-Ru and To Love-Ru Darkness. He is formerly a hitman who knows Yami in the past, as he is the one who set her and Mea Kurosaki free from the Eden organization.

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 in his heyday with the exception of the choker and absence of the tattoo on his chest.

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. If people consistently get in his way, he will become angry.

History
Like Yami, Kuro was picked by up by an assassin organization that saw itself as "some kind of arbitrator of the universe" during his childhood.

Kuro was the one who destroyed the Eden organization that created Yami, setting her free. He has also fought Yami 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.
