He's from a rich highschool where only the well educated and rich can go. He has also studied Nadashinyou-ryuu.[1][2] His nickname is Ashura (阿修羅, Ashura).

Personality[]

Mitsuhide has been shown to be a very kind and caring man, as shown when he had taken care of a dead dog. Mitsuhide also seems to be well mannered and well restrained, as he is able to keep himself from hurting anyone ever again after the incident with Masakazu.[3][4] Kuroda is a calm, soft spoken person, and a formidable martial artist.

Mitsuhide has shown though, that when he is pushed to his very limits, to becomes a monster in martial arts, becoming like Ashura, fighting with nothing but rage, as shown with his fight against Kiichi.[5]

Appearance[]

Kuroda

Kuroda's full appearance in the first manga series.

Mitsuhide is a very tall and muscular man who has long, dark, and curly hair that runs down all the way to the back of his neck. He usually has a cool expression on his face as shown when he did not even shutter when picking up a dog with his organs coming out.

Mitsuhide is usually seen wearing a bicker outfit consisting of a white tank top underneath a black bikers jacket. He also wears brown leather thick work gloves, blue jeans, and black leather buckle boots. He is also seen wearing a religious cross necklace around his neck.[3] In the Tough: Ryuu wo Tsugu Otoko manga series, his musculature seems to decreased as he seems to be drawn as a thinner man compared to the first series (perhaps simply due to the stylistic evolution of the manga author's drawing).

Past[]

Mitsuhide roundhouse kicks Masakazu's neck

Mitsuhide Kuroda fatally kicking Naruse.

Mitsuhide was once best friends with Masakazu Naruse. He was even inspired by Masakazu to go to a martial arts tournament where they both flourished. Mitsuhide is able to make his way through the tournament, with ease, using his superior technique and speed. Masakzu was also able to go through the tournament with ease, using his power and endurance. The two friends eventually meet each other at the finals of the tournament. Masakazu unloads the first punch on his friend, but Mitsuhide is able to avoid it. The two then begin to unload a flurry of punches at each other, neither giving the other an inch to get their breath. Masakazu, is then able to use his ultimate technique, Infernal Rush, allowing him to land a hit on Mitsuhide's chest. Masakazu then tries to kick Mitsuhide, but Mitsuhide is able to jump above Masakazu's kick, and is able to land a roundhouse kick to the back of Masakazu's head, although Masakazu did not feel it effects. In the end Masakazu was able to pull out a victory, over his friend, fighting till the sound of the bell, and winning through points.

Masakazu was given a trophy for his efforts in the tournament, and neither Mitsuhide nor Masakazu was angered by the results of the tournament. Mitsuhide then congratulates Masakazu on his victory, during his celebration with the other members of their group. Masakazu then falls down to the ground, succumbing to the roundhouse kick to the back of the neck, Mitsuhide had delivered earlier. Mitsuhide had caused his friend a brain hemorrhage. On that day Mitsuhide had decided not to fight any longer, and visits Masakazu at his grave whenever he can, feeling horrible for being the cause of his old friends death.[6][4]

He had then went up to the trucker's truck and began to destroy it with his kicks. The trucker tried to stop him but was scared off by Mitsuhide's glare. He had continued to beat on the truck using his fists as well until the trucker begged him to stop.

Mitsuhide had then appeared, after Takako's fight with the three girls was over. He had shown his knowledge of Kiichi's martial by calling it the Nadashinkage-ryuu, the art of life and death.[8] Mitsuhide then introduced himself, as highschool student from Seiken vocational, which had gotten Kiichi angry enough to get into Mitsuhide's face. Kiichi had then shook Mitsuhide's hand as he was impressed by his actions against the trucker, the handshake however turned into a test of strength as both tried to prove who was stronger, causing their bones to break. Kiichi had eventually taken the opportunity and tried to attack him, but Mitsuhide is able to dodge all of Kiichi's strikes. Mitsuhide then tried to break Kiichi's arm, but Kiichi was able to try and hit him, breaking the hold. Mitsuhide however is able to sweep Kiichi's legs causing him to loose his balance although he was able to quickly recover from it. Mitsuhide then beckoned Kiichi to go all out on him, which Kiichi gladly agreed to. Before they could continue however Takako had stepped in to their actions from further escalating. Mitsuhide had then left with Takako which showed Kiichi, that they were together romantically.[9]

Mitsuhide was then seen with Takako and had asked her why she interrupted their fight, as she knew Kiichi wasn't a novice in martial arts. She had said that she knew bloodshed would have happened if they continued, as Mitsuhide took off his glove to reveal the marks Kiichi had left on his hand, being very happy that he was seeing it. Takako continued to say that if Mitsuhide were to fight seriously ever again he may end up killing someone again.[10]

Mitsuhide and Kiichi had to defend themselves as they kept cutting the hornets in half using their martial arts. During which Kiichi had gotten close to Mitsuhide, which had caused Mitsuhide to use the very same kick he used to accidentally kill Masakazu, which killed the last of the hornets. Mitsuhide then agreed to Kiichi's proposal to fight warning Kiichi he wasn't the only one who had studied the Nadashinkage-ryuu.[11] Mitsuhide and Kiichi had fought their hardest with Mitsuhide revealing that he had practiced the original martial art Nadashinyou the predecessor to the Nadashinkage, and even loosing control of his anger and becoming asura himself. He was eventually however put down by Kiichi who had used his Hashin Shou to stop Mitsuhide's heart. Mitsuhide was eventually recovered and was releaved to see Takako by his side.
