The judge who stands and watches the battles between warriors. He will always be the judge for matches and will clean up the dead bodies after matches as well. In the first Samurai Shodown, he was forced to judge matches as a servant of Amakusa because his other brothers were held hostage. After Amakusa's defeat, he reunites with his family. One of the brothers had a previous working relationship with Nicotine and is well versed in necromancy. Thirty years ago, he and Nicotine fought against Mizuki but was defeated. Not much is known about his past or his powers he has. He was a hidden playable character in Samurai Shodown 2.

I've always enjoyed this design. The "referee" of the Samurai Shodown series always added a nice touch to the presentation factor. And of course it was pretty awesome to see him finally jump into the action himself in SS2. Kuroko is a cool looking & clever design visually, and his moveset in SS2 was interesting at the least. His return in Samurai Shodown 6 was pretty awesome, especially since he used special moves similar to several KOF characters. lol. On a side note, among some friends, I was known for using his very underrated card in Card Fighters Clash. He's incredibly weak and can't attack or counter (lol)... his ability is called "Mystic," and when used with the card "Substitute," your opponent's card switches abilities with Kuroko's, rendering their card practically useless (unless they counter it with their own Substitute)... a bit of Cardfighters Clash trivia for ya. XD
