[edit] Kuroda
Kyofu is possibly the most powerful Onisu, second only to Hakai. It was present when Daigotsu's forces claimed a portion of the Kaiu Kabe and personally slew the Crab Clan Champion Hida Kuroda. In the aftermath of the destruction of Otosan Uchi Kyofu was defeated by a Nezumi warrior, which left it eternally furious. It's ressurection from Yume-do made Kyofu unique compared to the other Onisu. When Daigotsu summoned Kyofu he used a physical host to place the demon's spirit within, the body of Kuroda. The two co-exist in the same body, but unknown to anyone, the Fortune of Death Emma-o aided Kuroda in becoming the dominating spirit in the body.
[edit] The Bloodspeaker and Kisada
When Daigotsu was defeated by Iuchiban, Kyofu rescued him. Daigotsu Soetsu, the Lost emissary, told Hida Kisada that the Dark Lord was able to restore Kuroda, if Kisada accepted to help the Lost against the Shadowlands demons.
[edit] Last March
In 1168 Kuroda returned to the Crab, asking to be given command of the Damned so that he could lead a force against the oni. After his intentions were verified by Omen, Hida Kuon gave permission for the assault. This was to be Kyofu's Last March.
Kyofu was given Kettei to wield in the battles. Kuni Daigo pledged to bring the sword back to the Crab upon Kyofu's death. ([1])
Kuroda was killed by Kyoso no Oni during the assault upon the oni's army which was fighting the Lost. Daigo was one of three survivors to return to Crab lands, bearing the blade he had pledged to return. ([2])
