Kuro Honda

**Kuro Honda** is the counterpart to Kiku Honda in the manga series, *Hetalia*, and the *Tea Leaves*. He more appears in the fandom of *Hetalia*. In the *Tea Leaves* series, he wants to exist in Kiku's world too.

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Kuro is physically similar to his counter part, with the only differences being red eyes, and a scowl rather than a lack of expression. He wears the black version of the Japanese Imperial Navy Uniform, along with a purple cape and white gloves. He is seen carrying a katana, often used with his right hand as opposed to his counterpart's left. When not wearing his uniform you'll see he has full body tattoos identical to the ones traditionally worn by the Yakuza.

### Personality

Kuro retains his counterpart's politeness, though in a matter of honor rather than real respect. He does not speak unless spoken to, and even then in short and to the point sentences. He is not friendly for the sake of friendliness and may even be considered cold and judgmental. Nothing amuses him and if he is ever seen smiling, he is either pitying you or thinking of something perverted.

He does not get flustered, does not worry, and keeps his own opinions to himself. He carries a very honorable front, to the point of punishing those considered dishonorable. But he is ruthless in his exploits. He is often remorseless, and carries a "sorry, not sorry" attitude.

He cannot stand 2P!Italy , but has become a strong ally of 2P!Russia . Despite their warring past they are very much alike in that they both appreciate each others thoroughness and habit of not letting any loose ends hang. It is a common belief that the two had a past relationship.

It is taken into consideration that during a period in history Japan was one of the most ruthless, dangerous, and powerful nations in the world. He enjoys expressing his power and becomes very aggressive when he wants something. Unlike his 1P! counterpart, he is much more in control in the Axis.

Although this is often not the case, it is depicted that he is actually a very open pervert, draws hentai, and also swears a lot. Although this remains a matter of preference.

## Back Story

Kuro appears to live in a world of darkness that can only be accessed with a cursed mirror.
