Kuro is a large black dog that acts not only a guide dog to the blind assassin Ryōken Hōinbō, but also as a weapon during his assassinations.

Kuro is just as intimidating and dangerous as his owner Hōinbō, to whom he is fiercely loyal. One individual to whom Kuro seems particularly antagonistic towards is Miles Edgeworth, most likely due to the latter sending Hōinbō to prison; just about the only thing the prosecutor and the assassin's dog have in common is a shared icy glare. On the other hand, Kuro appears to be rather fond of Sōta Sarushiro, perhaps due to the strong empathy with animals that Sarushiro demonstrates.



  • Assuming that the Kuro who helped rescue Sōta Sarushiro and Manosuke Naitō during the IS-7 Incident was the same dog encountered by Miles Edgeworth, this would make him at least 18 years old. Such longevity is exceptionally rare in dogs, particularly larger breeds, but not entirely unheard of.
