A serious young man from the Moto family, an extremely old-fashioned lot of stubborn isolationists who think that this new-fangled "hiding in plain sight" nonsense is the source of all the current troubles. He insists his family is a secluded off-shoot of the Saitou line, despite possessing none of that bloodline's typical elemental powers, aside from a meagre puff of obscuring smoke. He acts very cool and aloof, though always polite (sometimes ''infuriatingly'' so), carries his [[#Equipment|"bokken"]] absolutely everywhere, and dresses downright archaically in sarashi, kosode and hakama - always in dark, drab colors (black, brown and dark grey) that fade conveniently into the shadows when needed.

Or at least, a cool and aloof gentleman warrior is how he wants and tries to act, but he's possessed of a wide romantic streak and a hot-blooded tendency for melodrama that he can't quite suppress. In practice, he's an imperturbable [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheStoic Stoic] ''almost'' all of the time... and an incorrigible [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] the rest.

Kurou rarely exhibits any overt powers (excluding the smoke cloud, which he habitually demonstrates as proof of his lineage). The Moto family concentrate on inner uses of ki and mastery of the self through martial arts, and Kurou's skill in their hereditary style of swordsmanship is most spectacular, especially for one so young.
