Kuro Mikawa, a black dog from the Tama and Friends franchise, appears in its 2020 anthropomorphic spin-off series. He lives on Third Street with Yasushi Mikawa, owner of the local convenience store. Kuro descends from an elite canine lineage, including a champion show dog grandfather, though he lacks the intelligence typical of this pedigree.

His appearance features dark-colored hair styled with a distinctive swept-back fringe, short eyebrows, and light purple eyes. Energetic and athletic, Kuro constantly jogs through the neighborhood or exercises purely for enjoyment. Despite his simple-minded nature, humans find this trait endearing. A strong sense of justice drives him to act as Third Street's unofficial police dog, investigating minor incidents like theft or property damage.

He is often alone or alongside close companion Gon, the furniture store dog, signaling their deep friendship. Kuro actively joins group gatherings with Third Street's other pets, maintaining consistent community interactions across franchise iterations without evolving backstories. His birthdate is September 6.
