Background
Kuro Sakuragawa is the main male protagonist of Kyokou Suiri and the current boyfriend of Kotoko Iwanaga. He has supernatural powers of immortality and precognition.
When he was a child he grew up in a traditional Japanese house with his many relatives. One day while eating with the rest of his family, the rest of his cousins and possibly siblings, seem to collapse and die within seconds of eating. His grandmother reveals that he had been fed both Kudan and Ningyo meat as part of the Sakuragawa family's goal of creating someone who could predict the future without dying. To test if the meat actually worked, his grandmother submitted him to many experiments which involved cutting him open, to the point he either stopped feeling pain or it no longer affected him. He was one of the only ones who survived, alongside his cousin Rikka.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Immortality: Kuro has been granted the ability to recover from any physical injury. First demonstrated when encountering the Bull Ayakashi, he lets his own arm to be eaten by Yokai. Kuro however heals it within seconds, in addition that his flesh is also a poison for the Yokai. During his first fight against Steel Lady Nanase, Kuro got his head completely crushed by the spectre, only to regenerate immediately, repairing the brain and nerve cells to keep his mind intact. His healing factor can work both as regrowth and reversion: when he got his arm eaten, Kuro regrows his missing arm, however when his ear was ripped off by Steel Lady Nanase, it simply returned to him, undoing all the damage.
Precognition: Kuro's another ability is to predict the future. While the price to use this ability is "death", Kuro is immune to this since he has acquired immortality. First demonstrated when he manages to forecast the Steel Lady Nanase's attack, quickly countering the spectre. It is later revealed, rather than a prediction of the future, out of the infinite branches of time, Kuro can choose one and that is what will happen, effectively determine the future. Despite this, the power is limited to the branch he can grab.
