Description
Momoko Kuzuryu is a seventeen-year-old martial artist from the dragon-affiliated Kuzuryu clan of the Chinese zodiac families. Petite at 146 cm with pale skin, she sports short pink hair typically featuring a single antenna-like strand tied above her forehead and wide brown eyes. She favors a white dress or high school uniform, remaining barefoot except when wearing shoes gifted by Koushi Inuzuka—which she discards during fights.
Trained from early childhood in the mountains by her father Sendayuu Kuzuryu to master the Hairaichiden Musou Style, she was deemed unable to achieve the clan's ultimate techniques due to her gender. This drives her goal to marry Koushi Inuzuka of the dog zodiac family and bear a son who can master them. Their fathers arranged the union to unite eastern and western zodiac families, preventing a seventh martial arts war. A childhood encounter where Koushi defended her from bullies despite being beaten cemented her lifelong devotion to him.
Hyperactive, optimistic, and stubborn, Momoko holds fierce loyalty to Koushi despite his initial rejection, overlooking his flaws while persistently trying to impress him. She enforces strict combat honor and fairness but protects Koushi from assassins targeting their marriage. Socially naive, she interprets situations literally yet offers kindness, such as advising Iroha Miyamoto on martial arts. Extreme emotions trigger exaggerated super-deformed reactions, and she harbors a phobia of hard-boiled eggs with drawn faces—stemming from her father's enforced training diet.
In combat, she demonstrates exceptional power for her age, wielding dragon-themed techniques with aura-formed force fields. She mimics Kamen Rider poses for special attacks and employs pragmatism against lethal threats. Her skills include cooking and tactical adaptability, though she experiences A-Cup Angst upon learning Koushi's preference for curvier women. Their relationship evolves from one-sided pursuit to mutual reliance; Koushi overcomes trauma-induced freezing during violence and acknowledges her daily support. She allies with former rivals like Iroha and Sanae Nakajima of the horse zodiac, who endorse her union despite their feelings for Koushi.
Her growth includes deepening bonds beyond her initial fixation, such as friendship with Iroha and mentorship to Sanae. She endures Koushi's temporary cruelty when he believed he was dying, remaining steadfast in her commitment. By the series' end, Koushi accepts their arranged marriage but delays consummation until formal permission from her father, underscoring her dedication to both him and clan traditions. Her surname Kuzuryu means "nine-headed dragon," reflecting her heritage.
