Kuromi Collection: Kawaii Mischief + Sanrio Style

She's a rabbit! Kuromi is a white rabbit — the same species as her rival My Melody, which is kind of the point. You can tell them apart by Kuromi's signature black hood, pink skull, and arrow-shaped devil's tail. Her name in Japanese literally translates to "black beauty," which honestly suits her perfectly.

Kuromi is Sanrio's punk-kawaii rebel — a white rabbit with a black jester's hat, a pink skull on her forehead, and a devil's tail to match her attitude. She first appeared in 2005 as My Melody's mischievous rival in the anime Onegai My Melody, but fans loved her so much that Sanrio made her an official character in her own right. Underneath all that edge? She's secretly very girly, loves writing in her diary, and has a soft spot for handsome guys. Don't tell anyone!

Kuromi's iconic palette is black and hot pink — bold, punky, and instantly recognisable. You'll also see a lot of purple in her merch range, which has become closely associated with her aesthetic. Whether it's her skull motif, her dark accessories, or her moody stare, everything screams "cute chaos."

Kuromi ranked 4th in the 2025 Sanrio Character Rankings globally — sitting above both Hello Kitty and My Melody. She's huge with Gen Z fans who love characters with edge, personality, and a little bit of darkness to balance out the cute. Her "Kuromicore" fashion aesthetic (think: black and pink, skulls, harnesses, chokers) has blown up on TikTok, and she even released her own music EP in 2025. She's not just a character — she's a whole vibe.

My Melody — Sanrio's sweet, pink, perpetually patient bunny. Kuromi has a list of 6,324 reasons why My Melody has wronged her (yes, really — she keeps a notebook). The two are polar opposites: My Melody is soft and kind, Kuromi is bold and mischievous. Their rivalry is iconic, their friendship even more so. In recent Sanrio media they've actually become close — much to Kuromi's reluctant annoyance

October 31st — Halloween. Of course it is. She wouldn't have it any other way

Kuromicore is the fashion and aesthetic movement inspired by Kuromi's style — black and pink colour palettes, skull motifs, dark kawaii accessories, and that perfect blend of punk and cute. Think: plaid skirts, chokers, ita bags loaded with Kuromi pins, and an overall "I'm adorable but don't push me" energy. It's hugely popular on TikTok and Instagram right now. If this sounds like your aesthetic, you're in the right place
