## History

Kurosawa used to be a condemned criminal who committed several murders throughout his life. His first offence was at the age of 15 where he beat his friend to death when he lost to them in a game. At age 21 he strangled a clerk who he got into an argument with. At age 24 he killed his next-door neighbour and ten others due to a noise disturbance and was arrested on a series of charges. He was given the death penalty immediately, which he seemed nonchalant about.

His apathy towards death made him an interesting person in the eyes of Kawashita who was abe to gain custody of him using backroom deals and plea bargaining. Kawashita then used his body in countless grotesque surgical experiments to create a metallic body, despite all this Kurosawa's mental state didn't change.

During Akai's family's arson attack, Kurosawa was there alongside Kawashita to save her.

## Plot

Kurosawa alongside Akai, Aonuma and Cha-Cha arrived at Skeleton Island to meet with Kawashita. They all arrived carrying large baskets of vegetables. Kawashita asks him how he's doing, he responds using sign language, however he does it so fast that Kawashita could not understand him. Afterwards they all get treated to a vegetable hot pot before they prepare for their mission.

On the day of the Seed-Sowing Project Kurosawa is seen enjoying the celebration, dancing, playing music, chasing Ai and messing with Kawashita's hair.

When the Yozakura family invades Skull Island, Kurosawa ambushes them as they run through a corridor. The group, however, is able to evade or repel his attacks. While the others continue their mission, Shinzo Yozakura stays behind to fend off Kurosawa who is unfazed by Shinzo's attacks.
