{{quote| Kuromimi fight too. Everyone healed, but country still sick. | Kuromimi}}
 
Kuromimi is a valiant young [[kobold]] warrior, driven by a quest to find a cure for the afflicted kobolds of [[Kobold Village (Suikoden)|Kobold Village]], who were driven into a frenzy by [[Kwanda Rosman]]'s [[Conqueror Rune]]. He was a kind-hearted kobold who cared deeply for his friends and family.
 
[[File:Kuromimi no forgive.png|thumb|left|220px|Doctor Kuromimi is here to cure everyone and lick their stitches!]]
In his pursuit of a cure, Kuromimi journeyed to the [[Village of the Dwarves]], seeking their assistance. However, his efforts proved fruitless as the [[dwarf|dwarves]] refused to provide any remedy.
 
Undeterred, he later aligned himself with the [[Toran Liberation Army]], joining forces to combat the [[Imperial Army]] and thwart Kwanda's malevolent schemes, particularly in protecting the [[Village of the Elves]].
 
Even when surrounded by the [[Imperial Army]] in the [[Kobold Village (Suikoden)|Kobold Village]], Kuromimi never gave up, admonishing the beleaguered Liberation Army group. After the successful defeat of Kwanda Rosman in the [[Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle]], Kuromimi experienced a heartwarming reunion with his now-cured mother and brother, whose joyous excitement led them to repeatedly exclaim his name.
 
Even after accomplishing his initial goal, Kuromimi expressed his desire to continue serving the greater cause. Filled with determination, he opted to join the Liberation Army, acknowledging that even if his people were now better, the nation as a whole still faced challenges.


==Biography==
Throughout his time with the army, he demonstrated his compassionate nature while training and fighting alongside [[Gon]], a younger kobold who greatly admired the seasoned warrior. Kuromimi wielded a sword of excellent craftsmanship, though he opted not to give it a special name, similar to his friend Gon, preferring simplicity. He and Gon both preferred the outdoors at [[Toran Castle]], enjoying the sun on their fur.

Kuromimi is a young [[kobold]] warrior who sought a cure for the kobolds of [[Kobold Village (Toran)|Kobold Village]]  after they were driven insane by [[Kwanda Rosman]]'s  [[Conqueror Rune]]. Kuromimi blamed humans for the Kobold's illness<ref>"You humans take away friends. Not forgive." - Kuromimi ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. As such, he avoided the humans he encountered, including [[Tir McDohl]], claiming that even if he could not forgive the humans, he had to fix everyone's sickness<ref>"Grrrr, not forgive, sniff sniff. But no time now. Kuromimi fix everyone sickness." - Kuromimi ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
Upon the conclusion of the [[Gate Rune War]], Kuromimi returned to Kobold Village, where his bravery and compassion were recognized. He was appointed as the Village Chief, taking on a leadership role and ensuring the prosperity of his people.


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<ref>"Dwarf stingy. Keep sickness cure secret.

Kuromimi is a valiant young kobold warrior, driven by a quest to find a cure for the afflicted kobolds of Kobold Village, who were driven into a frenzy by Kwanda Rosman's Conqueror Rune. He was a kind-hearted kobold who cared deeply for his friends and family.

In his pursuit of a cure, Kuromimi journeyed to the Village of the Dwarves, seeking their assistance. However, his efforts proved fruitless as the dwarves refused to provide any remedy.

Undeterred, he later aligned himself with the Toran Liberation Army, joining forces to combat the Imperial Army and thwart Kwanda's malevolent schemes, particularly in protecting the Village of the Elves.

Even when surrounded by the Imperial Army in the Kobold Village, Kuromimi never gave up, admonishing the beleaguered Liberation Army group.
