Posted by Jojo Tse on
If you're a fan of all things cute but a little bit sassy, then it's likely that Kuromi is your new obsession. She's punky, has a jester's hat, and an always sassy attitude, Kuromi is the epitome of sweet and sassy, much like her friend Labubu. But just how much do you really know about this Sanrio icon?
Take a look at these adorable facts about Kuromi that may just make you love her even more.
She's My Melody's arch-nemesis... kind of
Kuromi can pretend to be My Melody's arch-nemesis all she wants, but deep down it's actually a frenemy relationship. She puts on a tough and competitive exterior, but has a secret love for cute and really loves My Melody (although she'd never admit it!).
Her birthday is Halloween
Of course it is. Another thing she shares with Labubu. Halloween baby queen of spooky-cute was born on the 31st of October, Halloween. Ghosts, bats and a touch of goth? Yay.
She has a crew!
Kuromi is the self-proclaimed leader of the “Kuromi’s 5” – a quirky little gang with her as the boss. They ride around on tricycles causing very mild chaos (mostly harmless pranks).
She’s secretly a romantic
Under all the attitude, Kuromi is a complete romantic. She adores writing in her diary and fantasising about her crush, a dashing young man named Kei. She even blushes!
She's a success both in Japan and across the globe
From plushies and phone cases to fashion collabs and TikTok trends, Kuromi’s fanbase is everywhere. Her bold style and cheeky attitude have made her a fan favourite all over the world.
That little skull isn't just for looks
The pink skull on Kuromi’s hat? It actually changes expressions based on her mood. Angry Kuromi? Skull frown. Excited Kuromi? Skull smile. It's like having an emotional sidekick at all times.
Regardless of whether you love her for her bad-girl persona or secretly sweet nature, Kuromi proves that adorable doesn't have to be demure and timid. She's brave, spirited, and completely one-of-a-kind – and that's precisely why we love her. Discover our Kuromi merch today!
