Kuro is a female black cat and pet to Kanako Urashima. Kuro digilantly follows around her owner.
Capable of flying, Kuro possesses uniquely large ears and is able to talk in the anime (it is unknown wether or not she can talk in the manga as the only instance in which she talked turned out to be Kanako playing around with throwing her voice). In the anime she offered conversation and advice to Kanako as she fretted over her longing to be with her stepbrother. Kuro's arrival is usually announced by the sound of the bell tied to her tail.
