Toujou Kuroka

**Kuroka** (later on **Toujou Kuroka**) is a Nekoshou, a rare variant of Nekomata, and a member of the Vali Team, previously a part of the Khaos Brigade. She later joined Team DxD. She is the older sister of Toujou Koneko.

Initially serving under a devil from the House of Naberius who took her in along with her sister following the death of their parents, she discovered his nefarious intentions towards her sister and killed him to protect her, resulting in her fleeing the Underworld and becoming branded as a criminal and stray devil.

At an unspecified point, she joined the Vali Team. She is a former SS-Class Stray Devil, one of the most wanted criminals in the Underworld for killing her master, which was later revealed to be in order to protect her sister.

Kuroka is the current ambassador to the East Youkai Faction. Kuroka is currently enrolled in Kuoh Academy as a first-college student and is a member of Rias and Akeno's class 4-A. She is also one of Issei's fiancees. After the defeat of the Hidden Khaos Brigade, she became Xenovia Quarta's Bishop.

## Appearance

Kuroka has the appearance of a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair with split bangs, and hazel-gold eyes with cat-like pupils. Her body measurements are [B98-W57-H86 cm] [B39-W23-H35 in]; height is 161 cm (5 feet 3 inches) and body weight is [49 kg].

Her attire consists of a black kimono, a yellow *obi*, a set of golden beads, and an ornately detailed headband. The kimono features a red interior and it is open at her shoulders, giving view to her large breasts which rival those of Rias and Akeno in terms of size. As a student of Kuoh, Kuroka wears the standard female uniform for Kuoh Academy.

In her Nekomata form, which she is in all the time, she grows a pair of black cat ears and two black tails. Unlike any other known Nekomata, she can transform into a small black cat for long periods of time. In this form, she has a distinctive male voice and golden eyes.

In her Bijuu Form, Kuroka takes the form of a massive flaming blue cat with two tails and green and yellow eyes. In this form, Kuroka stands at 15 meters in height and 30 meters in length from head to tail.

## Personality

Kuroka seems very playful, easy-going, simple-minded, and enjoys teasing people. She is also rather vulgar, using her beauty and sensuousness as a weapon in her arsenal of teasing. Kuroka loves her little sister Koneko dearly, though she seems to have trouble showing it at times, preferring to tease her.

Issei also noted that despite her mischievous nature, Kuroka is very kind and compassionate who cares about Koneko more than anything else and also wants peace more than anyone. In order to raise Koneko after the two became orphans, Kuroka became a reincarnated Devil servant and is willing to become a Stray Devil by killing her master to protect her.

She has expressed an interest in having strong children, having propositioned both Vali Lucifer and Hyoudou Issei, who both have Heavenly Dragons inside of them. It is hinted that the reason as to why she wants to have strong children is because she wants her species, the Nekoshou, to bloom once again, as their species is currently on the brink of extinction.

While at first she was simply curious and drawn to his unique aura, she quickly became enthralled and attached to him, even expressing happiness when he accepts her when she revealed her true form to him. Because of this attachment, she is naturally protective of him, and is fiercely aggressive towards those who would try to harm him. She also has no qualms about sharing him with other women, though she quickly makes it clear that she will be Issei's "Number One Girl"

Over time, she did fall in love with Issei and when interrogated by Shidou Irina and Rossweisse on whether or not her feelings were real, Kuroka vehemently confessed the depth of her feelings to them. Adding to her feline personality, Kuroka often ends her sentences with "Nya" (にゃ), mimicking a cat's meow.

Furthermore, while in heat, which Issei dreads, she becomes very aggressive in her advances towards him, and is very competitive with the other girls. Kuroka has also been described as being a very bad drinker, as she gets intoxicated very easily.

## History

Kuroka is the older sister of Koneko (then known as Shirone) who was born to Fujimai, also a Nekoshou, and a human researcher. After losing her parents, she and her sister were later taken in by an Ajax Naberius from the branch family of the House of Naberius, and she was reincarnated as the Devil's Bishop using up two Evil Pieces.

While serving her master, she became extremely talented in Senjutsu and Youjutsu, and her magical power as a Bishop became so great that she surpassed her own master in terms of magical power alone. This later became her undoing when she later became a Stray Devil after killing her master, with everyone assuming that she was drunk with her own powers.

The true reason for the killing was to protect her sister Shirone from her master, who attempted to conduct tests on her in his research on creating a Super Devil. This resulted in her sister's near-execution and depression, as well as the reason why she refuses to use Senjutsu and Youjutsu.

Following the incident, Kuroka became one of the Underworld's most wanted criminals, ranking at SS-Class. At some point before the series, she joined the Khaos Brigade along with the rest of the Vali Team.

* **Master Magician:** Being a Bishop worth two Bishop pieces, Kuroka has remarkable magic potential, abilities, and talent, thus letting her surpass her previous master in a short amount of time. Koneko has stated that her power rivals that of an Ultimate-Class Devil and even with Tannin's help, it wouldn't be easy to capture her. She has shown to be skilled in teleportation, defensive, and devil magics, in Underworld, she could store objects such as the magical chains Glepnir inside of another dimension.

Kuroka is noted to be capable of sneaking into the Underworld without the permission of the Devil Government due to her skill at teleportation magic.
	+ **Summoning Magic:** Kuroka is capable of summoning Gogmagog from the alternate dimension where he is kept. She was capable of summoning Vali Lucifer with Le Fay's help.

**Youjutsu Expert:** Kuroka can utilize illusions to make clones and mirages of herself to avoid attacks and render them ineffective and useless. The mirages are extremely difficult to distinguish and tell apart because they all possess the same aura as Kuroka, with the exception of opponents that can read the flow of her spirit. Although they are illusions, they can use Kuroka's attacks.

* **Poison Mist:** Using her Youjutsu skills, she can also create a poisonous mist to restrain her opponents. This is only effective against both Youkais and Devils, however; Dragons and dragon-type Sacred Gear possessors are immune to it.
* **Illusions:** Kuroka is able to cast illusions such as creating mirage copies of herself to throw her opponents off.
* **Naturakinesis**: Kuroka can control the nature around her to a degree.
* **Genjutsu**: Kuroka can cast illusions.

**Senjutsu Expert:** Being a Nekoshou, Kuroka is also proficient in Senjutsu, being able to control her *ki* to strengthen both her internal and external body; as well as detect others nearby based on their auras. She has shown to be able to control nature around her; as in Underoworld, she could turn the mud around her from hard to soft to seal the movements of one of Fenrir's sons, while in the manga, Kuroka could control the earth and plants, forming a large amount of them to attack. She can combine Senjutsu and Youjutsu techniques to fire concentrated blasts of energy.

* **Touki**: Kuroka covers herself in an aura of *ki*, increasing her strength, defense, and speed.
* **Kasha**: Kuroka can summon multiple big wheels that are covered in black flames. By adjusting the natural ki contained in the wheels with senjutsu, she can imbue the power of purification into them. They are impossible to dodge, as they will simply change their trajectory and continue to chase after the targets, reducing them to ashes.

Additionally, it is effective on beings with evil intentions.
* **Spatiokinesis**: Kuroka can manipulate the fabric of space.
* **Stealth:** Kuroka uses her Senjutsu to conceal her presence from other Devils by changing her *ki* flow.

**Transformation**: Kuroka possesses the unique ability to shape-shift into a black cat at will. How she alone, out of all Nekomata, is capable of this is currently unknown. In cat form, Kuroka can still channel her spiritual energy and move at incredible speeds, though she is physically limited. Her transformation grants her a complete disguise, as her voice in this form is deep enough to lead most to assume she is a male.

* **Bijuu Form**: Kuroka can transform into a massive two-tailed tiger. In this form, Kuroka stands at a massive fifteen meters and she is thirty meters in length from head to tail. Kuroka's entire form seems to be composed entirely of black and cobalt flames. Her eyes are also like that of an odd-eyed cat's with one being green and one being yellow. In this form, Kuroka's estimated rank is Satan-Class and God-Class.

**Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Aside from magic, Senjutsu, and Youjutsu, Kuroka has some skills in hand-to-hand combat, able to hold back against Koneko for a short while. Kuroka can also combine with the Touki and Senjutsu to further increase the power of her physical attacks. After training with Magari, Kuroka's skill in hand-to-hand combat was further enhanced, as she easily defeated Sacred Gear users by combining her Touki, Senjutsu and Youjutsu into her physical strikes.

**Flight:** Being a Devil, Kuroka can fly using her bat-like wings.

## Quotes

* *"…In the beginning, I only thought of you as a substitute for Vali. Vali’s rival. When I’m together with you, my heart beats in a joyful rhythm, and it’s fun just to hang out with you. I only wanted children in the past, a Heavenly Dragon’s children…I just wanted strong genes. If Vali couldn’t, then I’d choose you. But, things are different now. …You’re incorrigibly stupid, and hopelessly honest. Even though you’re a pervert, and an idiot after all…even though you just had to be gentle towards Shirone, you took good care of me as well…you gave us sisters a peaceful place to live…. If I’m together with you…then I feel at ease. When I see your smile, my heart becomes filled with love…" -*Kuroka to Hyoudou Issei.

* *"…For people like us, you went and took on such a stupid fight. Surely, your body is covered in wounds, right? Even though your opponent was a god…. Even if they are a god, you’ll protect us from their hands, so how could I possibly dislike a man like that!? Mmm, that’s right, ever since a long time ago, I fell hopelessly in love with the man named Hyoudou Issei…I love you."* *-*Kuroka to Hyoudou Issei.
