Kurome is a member of the Jaegers, and the younger sister of Akame. Like her sister, she has a big appetite and is often seen eating, usually candy. She stubbornly refuses to share her candy with even her comrades. Kurome wields an offensive Teigu like her sister, in the form of a sword named "March of the Dead: Yatsuhusa", which allows her to enslave up to 8 enemies killed with the Teigu. Also like her sister, she is extremely skilled in the art of the sword and assassination.

When she was a child, her parents had sold both Akame and her to the Empire.
