Kuroi Ryuuji

* Human Form
* Demon Form

**Ryuuji** Kuroi (黒井 **竜司**) is the true main antagonist of Taimanin Yukikaze and Taimanin Yukikaze 2.

His true identity is the King of Incubus and Succubus, ultimately responsible for brainwashing of Yukikaze's mother Shiranui. Kuroi's aim is to take over the Dark World, turning Taimanin like Rinko and Yukikaze, into his slaves and soldiers.

## Personality

A sinister, arrogant but also devious man, talks in the "Royal *we*" or "majestic plural" (*pluralis majestatis*).

He desires power and uses carnality to brainwash people into his army, but is careful not to reveal himself. Ideologically, he stated that for him, violation and love are one and the same.

Kuroi is a very dominating presence, using few words, which asks nothing less than total obedience from his subjects and pawns. Highly skilled and intelligent, Kuroi enjoys degrading and humiliate strong women but is hard to please, he views almost everybody as a tool. As a very high ranking Incubus, he is very lustful and values corruption and perversion in his strong target. As such, he is intrigued by those that harbor dark secrets and desires which, he is able to exploit.

Kuroi either supernaturally or instinctively is able to read people's desires and is quick to come up with a plan. Though, cunning, he doesn't show his true intentions or nature easily, only slight dark smiles give away some of his intentions. In a fight he reacts calmly and precise, testing his enemies more than fighting pretending to be in danger, even if that really is not the case. In interactions seen with Rinko and Shiranui, he seems to be almost gentle at times, allowing Shiranui to shower and eat normal meals as he does not require the help of drugs to break her. While on a "sex dinner party", in Rinko's route, he reserved Rinko which was still hesitant, with other people too scared to take his women, he just ate and left, leaving Rinko confused. These acts of kindness are still manipulation in the long run, even if Kuroi himself possibly is unable to see it as such. When learning about Rinko's interest in her brother, he made a game out of it to destroy her trust into Tatsuro.

Kuroi does view Shiranui as one of his most loyal assets, and has interests in making Rinko and later Yukikaze one as well. Kuroi is extremely careful, even more so than most villains in the series. Using underlings like Yazaki, Shiranui, Real, Washizu, Inui and Shizuru as proxies, while he remains in the shadows.

In his civilian disguise, he is always the top of the class, some dislike him, while others swoon over him. However, he remains rather solitary. Kuroi becomes very rude if someone talks to his maids and is short-tempered and even violent. While interacting with Tatsuro, he talks in an almost friendly manner, which Tatsuro views as underlining mocking. Most male students fear Kuroi and would not dare to act on the girls he "owns" without his allowance.

## Appearance

A tall darker skinned pretty young man with white hair.

His demon form is a black winged Lovecraftian monster. Standing at around 10 Meters, with two horns, giant hands with sharply tapered fingers. On his back he has bat-like wings that tapered to sharp points at the end. Tentacles come from his mouth, stretch far from it. His tail splits into two, partway down and is thicker and longer than any snake.

## History

### Background

A very powerful noble demon and the Incubus King, which existed for a long time. Just like Edwin Black tries to take over the Human World to later conquer the Demon Realm and avoids direct confrontation.

### Visual Novels

When the Taimanin Shiranui, was captured in Yomihara, it was Kuroi that ordered Real (Yazaki Toshiji) to break her will for 5 years, in Under Eden, before TY. The entire family of Real, including his brother Yazaki Muneichi, a politician, was connected to Kuroi. With the uncle Washizu Shigeru, being a loyal servant of the Incubus King for a while, which created new weapons and tools for Kuroi, with his Washizu Group, including the brainwashing device known as the EVE chip.

When Yukikaze and Rinko interrupted a deal with Beastman, that Yazaki Muneichi tried to make. They became the next target and Muneichi and his brother, used Shiranui as bait to lure in the other Taimanin. When this plan failed, in the true ending, which resulted in the discovery of the EVE chip by the Taimanin and escape of the two potential slaves/soldiers.

Real was deemed unable to complete Shiranui's training, which also had been started years ago, and she was moved to the Washizu Material research facility, near Seishu Academy. Which was the current base, of Kuroi's operations, and she was trained for one more year. Unable to break her will, even with being fed Future Drugs every day, Kuroi took note of her and trained her himself. Giving her a normal meal and a warm bed to sleep in, Shiranui was surprised but still on guard. However, when the Incubus King slept with her, he used his powers over the mind, to imitate the sensation of her husband and increase it multiple times driving Shiranui into madness. As things escalated even further, Shiranui announced her future loyalty, as there was no going back from that sensation he could grant. Shiranui afterwards lost consciousness, but it is strongly implied some level of demonization took place, which turned her into a Succubus.

At the same time, starting in Taimanin Yukikaze 2. The Taimanin also made their own move, linking the EVE chip, found in Yukikaze and Rinko brain from Under Eden, to the Washizu Group and Seishu Academy. An infiltration team of Kousaka Shizuru and Akiyama Tatsuro was sent out to investigate Seishu Academy as undercover teacher and student. While looking into the research facility, they triggered an alarm and Mizuki Shiranui was sent out by Kuroi to infect them with an Eve chip. Which in the true ending is removed from Shizuru before it can have any negative effect.

Kuroi himself is introduced, as a late third year student, in the scholar course department of Seishu Academy, with possible family ties to Washizu Shigeru. It is said he is the son of a former zaibatsu family over in Kansai. However, if this family really exist as a cover is unknown. His former maid "Tachibana" was presumingly hurt while taking part in martial art practices with him. She dropped out afterwards, as reported by other maids, but the truth is unclear.

Which made most assume he was just enjoying nepotism and wasn't the mastermind behind Shigeru. The true purpose of Seishu Academy was to corrupt the elites in politics and finance, into becoming slaves and demon pawns by using the power of the EVE chip. In the bad ending route, Kuroi is informed by the now brainwashed Shizuru which he broke himself fully, now working together they delay any investigation, which results in Yukikaze and Rinko appearing as backup. Depending on the route, either of them is again attacked by Shizuru in disguise and the EVE chip breaks their mind until they are loyal. Kuroi appears most in Rinko's route, in which she is assigned as a member of the maid course as his personal maid. Kuroi proceeds to put her into lewd situations, under the nose of Akiyama Tatsuro and breaks her basically alone.

In the true ending, Kuroi appears rather abrupt. As a large Taimanin raid which includes Yukikaze and Rinko is called in for both Seichu Academy and the Washizu Material research facility. Tatsuro, Rinko, Shizuru and Yukikaze raid the main facility and encounter Kuroi in his large otherworldly office, with just the loyal subjects Washizu and Inui on his side. Revealing himself as the Incubus King, he fights both Yukikaze and Rinko at the same time, while Tatuso and Shizuru take down the other pawns.

Able to counter most of Yukikaze and Rinko's attacks until Kuroi is caught off guard and blasted, only to reveal his true form as a reward. Able to block or heal from any normal attack, Yukikaze overcharges a lighting art that, with the help of Rinko, is transported behind the Incubus king’s barrier, right after Tatsuro protects Yukikaze of an incoming blast. Seemingly burned to death, by the combination of Yukikaze and his own attack and reduced to nothing, the group of Taimanin celebrate.

However, shortly after that Kuroi's voice is heard again, saying he was “impressed” but showed no injury at all. Shiranui also appears at this point, and Kuroi praises the skill of both Yukikaze and Rinko, saying that Shiranui was in fact correct to suggest them as slaves and as wished, both would join their ranks soon. Saying farewell and even acknowledging Tatsuro existence, he disappears together with Shiranui with no trace left. Leaving Yukikaze shocked behind, seeing her mother for the first time in years, but also as a loyal solider of that new enemy.

### Timeline TABA

As TABA plays instead of TA3 most of the events of TY and TY2 should have happened one way or another.

The name Kuroi is never used, and he is only addressed as the Incubus King, but he looks just the same as he did in normal canon. Kuroi makes secret deals with Fuuma Danjo and Task Force G, strengthening his forces against Nomad. Waiting for Danjo, he gets attacked by Koukawa Asuka and Koukawa Oboro of the DSO, that tried to assassinate him but are unable to do any damage. After they start to flee, he sent his loyal assassin Mizuki Shiranui after them. Fuuma Kotaro and him never encounter each other, but in "what if" events Shiranui is willingly captured by the Fuuma Organization and gets her mind read of the day she was broken by the King and swore allegiance to him. The memories are strong enough to kill some of Fuuma Kotaro's men.

### Timeline RPGX

Has not appeared. "The Incubus King" or "Phantom King" which is a title used by the 9 Noble Demon Families in that timeline is Kamadeva, a much older demon which only in his youth tried to become the true demon king. Otherwise, Kamadeva does much the same as Kuroi though has his eye on Shiranui much earlier. This version aimed to make Shiranui into his slave, around 3 years after her marriage to her husband and having Yukikaze. Haunting all her dreams for many years, with lewd visions of edging. Shiranui again becomes his servant but afterwards Kamadeva dies, as he wishes to give most of his powers to his daughter and his title to Shiranui. Which later on becomes the Succubus Queen/Phantom Lord herself.

Kuroi might exist in this world as typically he never made his presence known, but it is not confirmed.
