-->'''Iyozane''': ''That's it. You're going down.''

[[folder: Kuroji Shitodo]]

The eldest of the Shitodo trio, who specializes in reversing things front and back. Kuroji is an honest, hard-working, honor student type but for some reason they and Tsubakura don’t seem to like each other. After being spirited away to Mugenri and forced to find a house and profit on their own, they work as a youkai exterminator; but eventually their greed and desire to be special and recognized force Kuroji to do more amoral things with each incident. Their birthday is around [[SignificantBirthDate September 9.]]

* {{Irony}}: ''A World That Isn't Fantasy'' claims that they dislike history....despite specializing in it and liking archaeology. And the fact that all of their themes reference it.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Their main theme is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIUtJmzPQ2Y "End of History"]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKOAB6aqyTg "Keep the History"]] together with Saragimaru in ''Reactivate Majestical Imperial''.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In "Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle". After being their usual [[InsufferableGenius insufferable]], [[LargeHam bombastic]] self in the regular teams’ scenarios, the Secret Team route occurs and Clause [[spoiler: reveals that they know about Suzumi's SplitPersonality and how they can't kill anyone to avoid hurting the timeline. And then [[BullyingADragon taunts them to their face]] about how inconvenient it must be that Suzumi can't kill them. Did we mention Clause is also immune to Suzumi’s abilities?]]

-->''"According to the "voice", the wish of the "chosen one" among us, would be granted should that person reach the goal."''

** LethalJokeCharacter: Possibly a nonplayable version considering the events of {{BPoHC}}
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OspdFr6SHBY "Empire Power ~ Eternal Force"]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Wilhelm von Clausewitz Halcyon HISUIMARU

** Hits RunningGag proportions in "Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle", where Tenkai, Sukune, Sese, Iyozane, Tsugumi, and Shion ''all'' dislike Clause on sight (Fumikado is ''the one person ''who doesn't, because they're [[SuperGullible gullible]] [[TheDitz enough]] to believe Clause's claims about their power). And then there's [[AxCrazy Suzumi]] who's just itching to murder them. Hell, even ''[[AllLovingHero Garaiya]]'' thinks they're annoying!

::''Inexplicable Hakama''

During ''Evanescent Existence'' they take Tsubakura’s appearance in order to get a fight with the real one and Yabusame and force them to replace them as the protector of Mugenri for a while.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Their fighting style relies on summoning ink projectiles and make use of others's powers.

* CunningLinguist: In their scenario with Tsubakura, they are able to speak Japanese, English, French, German, and then Latin and Swedish, of all languages.
-->''Hai, oui, ja, that's right!''
-->''Quis es tu? Vem är du?''

** JerkassHasAPoint: However, as Tenkai points out, once Tsurubami is gone everything starts going to hell. The outsider humans don't care much about protecting Mugenri, but only look for their own interests. Youkai start causing more mischief and even the Imperial family and the Dragonflies army go to war! Maybe Tsurubami should have never have left after all.....

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiYXrTODwDs "Eternal Dance Engine ~ Shall We Dance!!"]]

* BelatedBackstory: Most of the important parts of their personal history aren't revealed until ''Reactivate Majestical Imperial'', months after Tsurubami has gone to the Outside World.

* GradualGrinder: Their boss fight in ''Evanescent Existence'' has shades of this, as much as can be had in a danmaku: their bullet patterns aren't necessarily complex for a stage six boss and are relatively slow to boot. This can easily cause a player to lose their focus and glide into one of the many, many bullets that are trailing around them.

* BoringInvincibleHero: The main criticism against them.

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: According to ''A World That Isn't Fantasy'', they're fond of squid and octopuses, and as such won't eat them.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: According to WordOfGod.

** Meanwhile, while Hooaka calls them [[EmbarrassingNickname "Kuro-jii"]] (a pun combining Kuroji's name with the word for "old man")

* KnifeNut: They uses knife-based spellcards.

* CunningLinguist: In their scenario with Tsubakura, they are able to speak [[CaptainObvious Japanese]], English, French, German, and then Latin and Swedish, of all languages.

* BizarreTasteInFood: In drink, specifically. Apparently Hooaka not only drinks, but is addicted to ''liquid nitrogen''. If their special profile is to be believed, they may also eat dry ice.

%%* DeadpanSnarker

* AffectionateNickname: Aoji calls them "Kuro" while Hooaka calls them "Kuro-jii".

* {{Irony}}: Their special profile claims that they dislike history....despite specializing in it.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Implied. Although a tweet from [=JynX=] says their self-worth is comparable to Mt. Everest, their special profile lists "inferiority" as one of their dislikes. Combine that with their claims of being a misunderstood genius...

* HatesBeingAlone: Their special profile lists "solitude" as one of their dislikes.

An ArtificialHuman created by [[spoiler: Tsubakura and Suzumi]] and trained to be an assassin. Only interested in fighting, they are cold and distant to everyone, but is very loyal to their creators.

The youngest of the Shitodo trio. They have the ability to create whirlpools and has a shy, meek personality.

The middle sibling of the Shitodo trio, who is a magician that specializes in magic that uses heat. They have an easygoing and lazy personality.

The eldest of the Shitodo trio, who specializes in reversing things front and back. Kuroji is an honest, hard-working, honor student type but for some reason they and Tsubakura don’t seem to like each other. After being spirited away to Mugenri and forced to find a house and profit on their own, they work as a youkai exterminator; but eventually their greed and desire to be special and recognized force Kuroji to do more amoral things with each incident.

A delusional, eccentric person who like everyone else, was spirited away to the land of Mugenri. They decide to attack Yabusame and the fake Tsubakura after believing that the portal to the Senri Shrine is a star that will grant them power. Fails and is never heard of again until they return in "Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle", where they spend the neutral route hunting down Fumikado.

* GravityMaster: Well, ‘’master’’ might be pushing it, but they fit the basic trope of manipulating gravity
** GravityIsPurple: Purple features heavily in the spell motifs, plus they have purple hair and eyes.

%%* ISayWhatISay

%%* MoreDakka

* {{PutOnABus}}/{{TheBusCameBack}}: Disappears at the end of "Evanescent Existence", only to reprise their final boss role in "Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle"

* {{Expy}}: An average person from the Outside World who wants to be special and is gapped to a FantasyKitchenSink, where they gain NewPowersAsThePlotDemands. With each incident, they become more and more jaded, to the point they start losing integrity and gain more power by manipulating everyone they know into getting them what they want. And they get a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about their greedy personality and HiddenDepths at one point. Are we talking about Kuroji or [[WebAnimation/DiamondInTheRoughTouhou Brolli Diamondback]]?

%%* StrongerSibling

* SpaceMaster: Their power is "manipulation of gravity", after all.

** JerkassHasAPoint: However, as Tenkai points out, once Tsurubami is gone everything starts going to hell. The outsider humans don't care much about protecting Mugenri, but only look for their own interests. Youkai start causing more mischief and even the Imperial family and the Dragonflies army go to war! Maybe Tsurubami should have never gone on vacations after all.....

* AccidentalMisnaming: A RunningGag in the series is that nobody, even their siblings, can pronounce their name correctly.

* ElementalBaggage: Averted. Unlike their siblings, they can't create water by themself, only manipulate what's already there and make it into whirpools. As a result they're near-powerless outside of water. They seems to have corrected this in ''Brilliant pagoda or haze castle''.

* WillfullyWeak: Their ability to manipulate whirpools makes them extremely powerful underwater.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: In the ''Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle'', Suzumi ambushes the Shitodo house and almost kills Hooaka, just to pass a cryptic message to Tsubakura. Hooaka gets a severed arm after the fight, which is quickly healed by Tsubakura.]]

* {{Expy}}: An average person from the Outside World who wants to be special and is gapped to a FantasyKitchenSink, where they gain NewPowersAsThePlotDemands. With each incident, they become more and more jaded, to the point they start losing integrity and gain more power by manipulating everyone they know into getting them what they wants. And they get a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about their greedy personality and HiddenDepths at one point. Are we talking about Kuroji or [[WebAnimation/DiamondInTheRoughTouhou Brolli Diamondback]]?

* {{Jerkass}}: In canon, they beat up youkai in order to steal their wallets, bosses their siblings and Saragimaru around, fights and insults multiple characters because they annoyed them, and even picks fights with Tsubakura out of sheer annoyance.

* KickTheDog: Will do anything to gain easy money. ''Everything''. From stealing Hibaru's money, stealing Fumikado's money, beating Sese (because they have a bounty on their head), trying to steal Tsugumi's eggplant, trying to steal the Harujion, tyring to steal Yaorochi's sword, trying to stop Tenkai from repairing the barrier, offering to reveal Saragimaru's existance to Yaorochi in exchange for money...

* TookALevelInJerkass: With each game. In ''Earthen Miraculous Sword'', they only go to resolve the incident in order to gain money for their siblings. In ''Reactivate Majestical Imperial'', they steal money from youkai. In ''Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle'', they stole people from anyone they could (including Fumikado) in order to get the money they wanted. [[KarmaHoudini And succeeded.]]

* OddFriendship: With Garaiya.

* PutOnABus/TheBusCameBack: Disappears at the end of "Evanenscent Existence", only to reprise their final boss role in "Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle"

* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle'', Hooaka goes along with Kuroji's insults. Must be because theit power to "read the mood of the situation".

-->''"You always, always go ahead of me..."''

* WhatTheHellHero: They scold their siblings like crazy because they didn't do anything at all to improve their situation after moving to Mugenri. Justified, because Aoji is very dependable on their siblings and Hooaka simply didn't care.

* {{Expy}}: An average person from the Outside World who wants to be special and is gapped to a FantasyKitchenSink, where they gain NewPowersAsThePlotDemands. With each incident, they become more and more jaded, to the point they start losing integrity and gain more power by manipulating everyone they know into getting them what they wants.
