Background[]
Kaiju World War: Part 1[]
Kurumi is a woman who is half-Japanese and half-foreigner. At first glance, people can assume that she is a foreigner. She claims to be Japanese, but usually nobody believes it, and she has recently stopped making corrections herself. She is usually sloppy because her character is rough and sparse. As a mercenary, she's clingy, and contracts come in from various companies and organizations and even Japan's branch of the Earth Defense Force. She comes from a Japanese family that follow the flow of swordsmanship. She was taught swordsmanship for self-defense as a way to protect herself in case of an emergency in an overseas land. Since becoming a mercenary, she has honed her abilities and skills in swordsmanship in earnest, improving her skills to a level that can be fully used in actual battles. Basically, she is running on the battlefield with a single sword, saying, "This is stronger."
