Kurogiri

Kurogiri is a supervillainous swordsman from The Saviors of Sunset City, having a prominent role in Kickbutt and the Infinite Sadness as the antagonist of the story. He is a frequent enemy of Eugene Millar, Nightwalker, and Yokai Mask, and runs the Onryo gang.
== Personality ==
Kurogiri, on first glance, seems nothing more than a cold-blooded killer, though actually puts high emphasis on fair combat and the righteousness of warriors, as seen with his relationship with Eugene Millar.
== History ==
=== Origin Story ===
Born near the end of the peak samurai age somewhere in Japan (circa 1800-1880), Kurogiri, at some point, died as an honorable warrior, and was chosen by the goddess of death, Izanami, to be her avatar, imbuing him with his mutant powers and making him an agent of death. He would then go on to form the Onryo in her honor.
=== Kickbutt and the Infinite Sadness ===
Kurogiri first appeared in the second part of Kickbutt and the Infinite Sadness, being spotted after the Onryo in the club were taken out by the deadly combination of Kickbutt, Father Justice, Kill-Girl, and Yokai Mask. When Kurogiri shows himself, Kickbutt asks if he's a peppermint, which causes the eyes visible from behind the mask to look visibly angered.
Wielding the Sublime Dharma, he and Kickbutt fought, with Kickbutt getting the upper hand after a failed piggy-back attempt causing Kurogiri to be stabbed in the balls, before the knife was pulled upwards. Kurogiri was finished by having one of his legs sliced off from the wound over by Kill-Girl's chainsaw. As he lay dying, Kurogiri explained to Kickbutt why the gang war between the Onryo and The Aces started, with The Knocker's death being directly cited as the cause of this power struggle. It was at this point Kickbutt took the sword, of which Talon would make great use.
Kurogiri, some time after, resurrected, and killed Eugene's parents with kunai to the eyes, which had kanji written on them saying "this is the black duty." When Nightwalker translated this for Eugene, he commented that it'd be like naming himself "the red shit."
Kurogiri is not seen again until Talon and Nightwalker invade Dollface's tower, where he is seen holding Dollface at swordpoint. Dollface runs with Nightwalker chasing after him, leaving Talon and Kurogiri to battle it out one-on-one in a proper swordfight. Some kneecap slashes and kunai to the eyes later, Kurogiri is beaten, with Talon taunting him, wanting him to remember him every time he closes his eyes, and taunting him with the fact he got beaten by a child twice. It is at this point Kurogiri calls Talon an honorable warrior, before falling over, knocking the kunai into his brain, killing him for a second time.
== Relationships ==
=== Eugene Millar ===
Kurogiri, despite being killed by Eugene multiple times, holds a great respect for the honorable warrior, seeing him as a pupil.
