"Kuromimi fight. Everybody fix, but country still sickness."

- Kuromimi

Kuromimi is a young kobold warrior who sought a cure for the kobolds of Kobold Village after they were captured and driven into a frenzy by Kwanda Rosman's Conqueror Rune.

Kuromimi travelled to the Village of the Dwarves in hopes of gaining a cure, but was unsuccessful, as the dwarves refused to give Kuromimi any cure. He would later fight with the Toran Liberation Army against the Imperial Army as they sought to thwart Kwanda's efforts to destroy the Village of the Elves.

Following the defeat of Kwanda Rosman in the Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle and was reunited with his now cured mother and brother, who were so excited they could do little but exclaim his name in joy.

Despite accomplishing his goal, Kuromimi asked to join the Toran Liberation Army, saying that even if his people were better, the country was still sick. He would show his compassionate side as he trained and fought alongside Gon, a younger kobold who revered the more experienced Kuromimi.

He wielded a sword of good quality and it wouldn't have been unusual for him to have given it a special name but, like Gon, he kept his weapon names simple.

Once the Gate Rune War ended, Kuromimi returned to Kobold Village, where he became the Village Chief.

Trivia

 * Kuromimi is listed as "Black Ears" in the United States Suikoden manual. This is likely because the words kuro and mimi mean black and ears, respectively, in Japanese.
 * Despite giving a speech where he is portrayed as the leader of the kobolds unit, Kuromimi is actually only a subordinate of the kobolds unit; the Commander is the non-kobold Fu Su Lu.
