Kurokami The Animation is based on the manga by the same name from Korean creative team
consisting of writer Young Lim Dall and artist Park Sung Woo (the manga has been released in
the U.S. by Yen Press under the title Black God). The anime is directed by Tsuneo Kobayashi
(director of The Twelve Kingdoms) with series story composition by Reiko Yoshida, and
character designs and animation direction by Hiroyuki Nishimura (Fatal Fury, Full Metal
Alchemist the movies). The story centers on a world in which one's happiness and misfortunes,
even their lives are controlled by “luck.” In this world, there are tree identical looking people in
existence who split between them an energy-like force called “Tera.” This energy can be
attributed to the amount of “Luck” or “Life Energy” that an individual possesses. There also
exists beings who observe the human world, maintaining the balance of Tera, known as the
“Coexistence Equilibrium.” These beings possess ability that surpass that of a normal human
being and reside in hiding in places known as the “Pure Place” in tribes. They are called the Tera
Guardians. This is a tale of battle that begins with the meeting between a human boy named
Keita and a young Tera Guardian girl named Kuro...

Kurokami (The Animation) will be released on DVD later this year from Bandai Entertainment
Inc.
