Kurokitenko is a black fox ayakashi who originates from a lost kingdom where he holds the title of prince. Within the group of seven spirits that come to the modern world, he is distinguished by an intense appetite for reading, often described as a devourer of books. This trait suggests a personality marked by curiosity, intellect, and a scholarly bent. In the slapstick comedy that follows the daily lives of the ayakashi, Kurokitenko’s dignified fairy-tale background contrasts with the mundane absurdities of contemporary life, though specific details about his motivations, relationships with the other spirits, individual development, or any supernatural abilities beyond his fox nature are not extensively documented.
