Kurou serves as second-in-command under Benawi's cavalry unit. When the first emperor's reign ends, he sticks with Benawi—and by extension, Benawi's new allegiance to Hakuoro. He's basically everywhere in the story: bickering with Oboro, strategizing military moves, drilling troops in the yard, or fighting on the front lines right alongside his general.
Fans often note that he's a source of comic relief throughout the anime, and his dynamic with Oboro especially tends to get laughs. In combat, he wields a thick longsword with genuine skill and effectiveness. He's formal with his titles, always referring to Hakuoro as "Commander" and Benawi as "General"—a courtesy he maintains even during the brief period when Nuwangi takes the general's rank.
The OVA reveals he has a particular weakness for young, petite women, a character quirk that adds to his comedic role in lighter moments.
