Kuromi (Japanese: クロミ), is a fictional character owned by the company Sanrio, and created by

Sanrio's artist Yuko Yamaguchi[1]. Originally intended to be an antagonist in the anime series Onegai My Melody[2]. She is depicted as a punk, tomboyish rival to My Melody. In her backstory, she is an escaped prisoner from Mari Land and a leader of the biker gang known as Kuromi's 5, with her closest sidekick being a tapir called Baku[1]. Her growing popularity led her to become a permanent Sanrio character[2], featured in various types of media, most prominently in anime and games.

Kuromi debuted in Onegai My Melody on April 3, 2005[3][4]. In 2023, the animated series Kuromi's Pretty Journey was released, following Kuromi and Baku as they search for her lost sister Romina in the human world.[5] Over the years, Sanrio has launched a wide range of Kuromi-themed products, including games, plush toys, and accessories, following her rise in popularity. Kuromi has become a cultural and fashion icon, securing the top 10 spot of Sanrio character rankings in each year.
