Hello everyone. Speaking of devilish characters...... Cute. I'm Boss from Kawaii Republic.

Hello everyone! I feel like Boss is still being vague as usual. I'm Saori from Kawaii Republic.

Yes. Speaking of devilish characters, they are miraculous beings that combine cunning and cuteness. In this article, I would like to introduce a character who is particularly loved as a devilish character among Sanrio characters!

What is Kuromi?

https://kawaii-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=105&ref=blog

Kuromi is one of the few “villain” characters among Sanrio Characters.

She was originally an anime-original character who appeared in the anime “Onegai My Melody”, which was created to commemorate the 30th anniversary of My Melody's birth.

After the broadcast started, she was an anime-only character, but Sanrio also started releasing merchandise, and the development of character goods exclusively for Kuromi started separately from the anime.

She is an anthropomorphized rabbit wearing a black hood, just like her rival, My Melody. In her relationship as a rival to My Melody, she is always up to some mischief.

Her birthday is October 31.

Oh! Kuromi-Chan was originally an anime-original character, wasn't she?

Yes, yes. She was famous for being quite interesting (with a gag element and cuteness) in an anime that was broadcast from 2005 to 2006.

So she was an anime-original character, but full-scale merchandise was released...... That means she was pretty popular, wasn't she?

Yes! As I wrote in the title, Kuromi-Chan won 3rd place in the Sanrio popularity vote in 2023. This is quite amazing!

Why do you think Kuromi-Chan shined in 3rd place?

Hmm. I think the charm of Kuromi-Chan is that she's cute, but not just cute. Her real personality isn't bad, but she's full of a bad-girl-like charm, which is a good thing about Kuromi-Chan! Kuromi-Chan is also active as a Youtuber, so if you're interested, please check her out!
