The Story of Kuromi

Kuromi is seen tagging along with another Sanrio character, My Melody. But then, did you know? The two are rivals. In 1975, My Melody first debuted when she appeared as Hello Kitty's best friend in The Adventures of Hello Kitty TV series. Later on, in 2005, Kuromi debuted in the TV series called Onegai My Melody.

The story of Kuromi revolved around her being an escaped prisoner from Mari Land. She has the Melody Key, the artifact with powers to corrupt dreams. Kuromi has a partner named Baku, and together, they plan to gather 100 Black Notes to revive the Spirit of Dark Power. This is also to get back to My Melody for causing her turmoil, which happened accidentally. Kuromi then ventures into the human world, where she meets Keiichi Hiragi, a famous high school boy in Yumegaoka. Eventually, she teams up with Keiichi and falls madly in love with him.
