Description
Hiromi Kuroki, known as Kuro-chan, is the assistant engineer aboard the destroyer Harekaze. A native of Chōshi, Chiba, her formative middle school years included a significant friendship with Maron Yanagiwara. Childhood visits to a soy sauce factory ignited her passion for homemade production, while exposure to diesel locomotives sparked her enduring fascination with machinery and engineering.
Standing 169 cm tall with dark brown hair featuring orange-brown gradients and brown eyes, she appears mature. Her personality blends calm reserve with directness; she voices opinions openly, initially expressing skepticism about Captain Akeno Misaki's leadership, believing Mashiro Munetani better suited for the role. This perspective stemmed from witnessing Mashiro at a Blue Mermaids event during her youth, an experience that inspired her maritime career. Her preferences include a favorite food of cinnamon toast, a dislike of green peppers, aptitude for chemistry, and difficulty with Japanese literature. Her personal motto is "Give your love freely."
She possesses technical expertise in fuels, lubricants, and explosives, backed by certifications in marine machinery, first-class childhood boiler operation, hazardous materials handling, and pyrotechnics safety. A regional female sumo wrestling champion from Chōshi, she applied this skill during the ship's equator festival. Her match against Akeno facilitated their reconciliation, marking her shift from initial resistance to acceptance of Akeno's command. This evolved into active support during critical missions like the pursuit of the Musashi, where she offered emotional reinforcement to both Akeno and Mashiro.
Key relationships define her journey: deep loyalty to childhood friend Maron Yanagiwara, sustained admiration for Mashiro Munetani, and transformed initial resistance toward Akeno into collaborative respect. Ranking second in popularity among the crew, she often motivates peers during crises. She maintains continuous hobbies including mechanical tinkering, stretching routines, and artisanal soy sauce production, reflecting her persistent passions.
