[Background]
Link- scroll to history+plot
And because it's incomplete.. Continued here.

The clash between HOMRA and SCEPTER 4 take place within the school, endangering all the students. Kuroh comes in in time to successfully save Kukuri from the falling debris, followed by the entrance of Shiro and Neko. The Red King then enters, wanting to kill Shiro. Kuroh stands in front of the trio, with his mind set on protecting them, even at the intensity of the Red King's powers. Kuroh is then hurled by the Red King, which causes Neko to frantically use her illusion powers to bring them close to where Kuroh landed. However, the Red King gets rid of the illusion easily and faces the four of them once again. Kuroh sends Shiro, Neko and Kukuri away from the battlefield and tries to deal with the Red King on his own. After Kuroh's attempted but failed attacks, the Red King loses his patience and prepares a powerful attack, in which Kuroh was unable to stop. Fortunately, the Blue King interferes and the Red King's attack is nullified, allowing Kuroh to escape with the trio, leaving the two Kings to battle. The four escape to within a part of the school, in which Kukuri stabs Shiro in the left of his abdomen with a broken glass piece. Kuroh immediately stops Kukuri from doing further harm to Shiro by pinning her down onto the floor from behind. It is then revealed that the Colourless King had control of Kukuri. After the Colourless King fails in his attempt to take control of Shiro, Shiro recovers some memories of his real self and the Colourless King escapes in Kukuri's body, dodging Kuroh's lavender hand. The Colourless King then faked attempting to take over Kuroh, when Kuroh closed his eyes, the Colourless King made a run for it. Shiro lies on the floor, remembering more of his memories, then suddenly levitates with a white aura around him. Kuroh worriedly questions about the sudden burst of white light and about his wound, which Shiro assures that he is alright and that his wound has healed (in German). Kuroh thinks that he is 'really the Colourless King.' but Shiro then reveals that he is actually Aldoph K. Weismann, the First, as well as, the Silver King.

Kuroh is surprised by Shiro's revelation and Shiro reassures them that he is still 'Isana Yashiro'. He then explains to them about how he had ended up in his current body. Kuroh then recalls what he knows about the powers of the Silver King and also the Colourless King, which explained why Shiro's power and soul was not consumed by the Colourless King. Kuroh then deduces that the one who used Shiro's current body to murder Tatara Totsuka is the Colourless King. Shiro asks Neko and Kuroh for their help, which both of them agree to. Kuroh interferes in the crossfire between the HOMRA clansmen and the SCEPTER-4 clansmen, where he is attacked by multiple of the men from both sides. He defends with ease, sending them flying with his ability. He then announces to them, ordering them to cease fighting, stating that it is the First King, the Silver King's order. However both sides do not comply, also stating that the king that they follow is their own (red and blue respectively). Kuroh then asks them if they knew of both Kings' true intentions, why the Red King took over the island, why the Blue King isn't taking command on his own and why they were settling the fight on their own. He then states that the situation is changing, therefore they should cease the fight. They then comply, however, with the exception of one clansman from each side. Kuroh is attacked by the stubborn two, he then states that 'I never expected to settle this with words. Come at me!'

Kuroh battles with both clansmen, defending their attacks easily and wearing them down as easily as well. Then, the two of them are taken away by a red clansman and Shiro meets up with Kuroh to finish up what the had to do, to save Kukuri. Kuroh then questions Shiro's plan, where Shiro thinks for a moment and then says that he is relying on Kuroh to make it a success. Kuroh then comments that even though Shiro has regained his memories as a king, he is still as irresponsible as before. He also lectures him that he needs to act more solemn and more worthy of being a king. Shiro then apologizes for not being Kuroh's ideal king. Kuroh sighs slightly and kneels down in front of Shiro, which Shiro frantically asks about, only to be told by Kuroh to be quiet. Kuroh asks that Shiro let him do this. He then 'asks' his Master, Ichigen-sama, for his permission to serve Shiro. Then, he formally vows that he will loyally serve Shiro as his clansman. They then levitate in the air so as to travel to where Kukuri is.

Andd while they're travelling in the air, Kuroh gets sucked into Somarium.

[Personality]
Firstly, one can tell that Kuro has a serious and strict demeanor, which is even more obvious when he is put side by side the carefree and joking Shiro. He is serious in the things that he does, which can be shown when he scolds Shiro, persistently telling him to get serious and properly find his alibi, without fooling around. Furthermore, when he was told that 'Sword props like that are prohibited' and Neko laughed, he told her strictly to 'Stop laughing!' Also, he was concentrated on seriously helping with the school festival and was specific in giving directions to the students ('Are these all of the costumes? Okay. Everyone check your own costumes. Tell me if you're having any trouble with the size. How are the decorations coming along?'), and he also scolds Shiro for lazing around and spacing out. His serious personality is also shown after he pledges his loyalty to Shiro as Shiro says, 'I wish you would loosen up a bit. There's no need for such a ceremony for us to be friends.' Also, because of this trait, he therefore uses formal speech to talk.
Because Kuro is serious, he would be grateful to those who helped him as when Kukuri showed him to the student boy dormitory, he formally and courteously thanked her saying, 'My apologies. I am grateful for your cooperation.', 'I will not forget what you have done to help me.', 'I appreciate you showing me here.' and later he thanked her again when he saw her in the classroom with 'Thank you for helping me the other day.'
Again, because he takes things seriously, he can be easily tricked (emotionally-wise). This can be shown when he fell for Shiro's cunning lies. This took place in episode 2, where Shiro lied about having a younger sister who highly depended on him and whatnot, which made him feel pity therefore letting his guard down, allowing Shiro to barely escape getting killed by him.
However, surprisingly, Kuro also has a slightly childish side to him, which is the fact that he has recorded his Master's phrases that he liked so much with a recorder and that he often plays it by pushing a random button for guidance or advice, which he gets all excited, sparkley and blushy about. 'The words of Ichigen-sama, which was poetry ahead of its time, were filled such with deep meaning and beauty. Simply engraving them into my soul was not enough,  so I recorded them at every opportunity!' This shows that Kuro had deep respect for his Master.
In episode 10, it is shown that Kuro starts to depend less on the voice recorder for decision making; when Shiro asked Kuro to use the recorder, Kuro hesitated and then replied that 'No. We know what we need to do next. We need to rescue Kukuri and the others. It's obvious. There's no need to rely on Master Ichigen's words.' This shows that Kuro starts to accept his companions (Neko and Shiro) and also begins to trust them. Thus, as the canon progresses, it can be noted that the three of them have become good friends because, although not very frequent, Kuro starts to call them by their names ('Neko' and 'Shiro'), which he refused to call at all in early canon (he called Shiro 'Yashiro' or by his full name. Neko was not called.)

Secondly, again because Kuro has a serious personality, he is also reliable, self-disciplined and responsible because he will get things done. An example of being reliable would be the school festival example used in the first paragraph, and that he made sure that he properly carried out his Master's wish, which was to determine whether the colourless king was evil or not and to slay him if he were. He also has a moderate amount of confidence and is fully aware of his own power as well as limits. Moreover, because he is reliable, he is also trustable, shown when Shiro and Kuro were going to get the colourless king out of Kukuri, (Shiro: "We're going to save Kukuri."  Kuro: "Are you sure this plan is going to work?"  Shiro: "Hmm... Well, I'm counting on you to make it work.") Unlike Shiro, Kuro is an extremely sincere person, honest and truthful about everything that he says. In his canon, he is portrayed to have never lied.
Another thing making him a dependable person is that he is able to cook and sew (somewhat motherly aspects) and also pilot a helicopter. Kuro had made bentos (boxed lunches) for each of them (Shiro, Neko and himself), which Shiro has teased Kuro saying 'It's a bento made with love.' only to have Kuro drawing his sword a bit and saying 'If you're going to say worthless things, I can take out that tongue.' And when Kukuri asked Shiro about the PDA that isn't his (it's Kuro's), Shiro said that 'It's... My wife's.' and again Kuro drew his sword a bit and said 'I hope you've said goodbye to your tongue.' Even though this was comic relief, one can see Kuro's serious trait again.

Thirdly, Kuro is relatively quiet (as compared to Shiro). However, he is not shy, he just simply does not want to talk much; he's naturally quieter. It is also shown that he prefers to use actions rather than words, 'I never expected to settle this with words. Come at me!'

Fourthly, he is persistent as his choice of actions does not waver. This can be shown when Shiro says that Kuro shouldn't judge him by the appearance but what's inside, but Kuro insists that it's not about appearance nor the inside but his actions ('My policy is to judge a man by his actions.'). However, even though he is persistent, he is still fair and reasonable, shown when he complied to listening to Shiro before killing him in episode 2. It is also shown that he can be swayed slightly but only by his feelings/ emotions. An example is when Kuro wanted to kill Shiro, fed up with him fooling around, and Shiro stepped in front of Neko to defend her, Kuro hesitated, recalling a scene when he was younger, where his Master did the same to defend him.

Lastly, Kuro is loyal to whoever he pledges his loyalty to. Before he decided to serve under Shiro, Kuro was serving under Miwa Ichigen, his master and also the previous colourless king, which he continued to be loyal to and have deep respect for even after his Master's death (carrying out his will entrusting Kuro to decide whether the new colourless king was evil, refer to reliable paragraph). Kuro's strong loyalty to his Master is shown when Shiro tells him that he should be brought to the court instead of being killed on the spot by him, Kuro firmly says, 'I don't serve this country. I serve only Miwa Ichigen-sama' Furthermore, Kuro is loyal to his Master even until the very end when he then decided to pledge his loyalty to Shiro, he 'asks' his Master for permission, 'Master Ichigen... May I have your permission to serve a new king?' and after that, he formally pledges his loyalty to Shiro, 'I, Kuroh Yatogami, do solemnly swear to henceforth devote my life to serving the First King, Adolf K. Weismann (note: = Shiro), as his clansman.'


[Abilities]
Same link; scroll down to powers & abilities
*In terms of fighting abilities it has been shown that Kuro is a capable fighter, who is able to use both hand combat (using his ability and also physically) and weapon combat (sword), as he was able to defeat clansmen with ease and also held up against the Red King. Thus, his fighting abilities can be measured this way: much higher than a normal clansman but lower than a King.

[Other important stuff]
If you hurt Shiro, have Kuro coming to murder find you >:C
The things on Kuro when he arrives in Somarium are: His sword (Kotowari), his phone and his precious voice recorder. Uhm I know the phone will be rendered useless be the main thing is the doll strap attached to the phone :> Refer to the wiki link and scroll down to equipment ^^ He rarely draws Kotowari.

[Sample post]
[First Person]
- If someone provoked or attacked you, what would you do?
I will ignore a mere provocation and as for an attack.. I will defend against it, without drawing my sword if possible.

- Someone is trying to rob you! What do you do?
He has the nerve to rob. I will pick him up (by the collar) and demand that he apologises for doing such a disgraceful thing, and then send him to the police.

- You have two options: either save your friend who is hanging from a cliff, or chase after the bad guy who put them in a position. If you choose the former, the bad guy will get away and it will be hard to catch him. If you choose the latter, the cliff will crumble and the friend will fall to the spiky rocks below. What do you do and why?
It will be best if I am able to think of how to save my friend as well as catch the criminal. However... Since it is not possible in this case... Obviously, saving my friend is the first priority as a friend is precious. And after that, I will find a way to catch the criminal. No matter how hard it is, I will catch him.

- You are a given a mission. Would you complete it effectively or would you goof off and do something else? Expand a little on the response.
If it is a mission entrusted to me, I must, no matter what, complete it as effectively as I can. Because the person trusted me to finish the mission, I will see to it that I won't fail, thus 'goofing off' will not do.

- You are suddenly told you are the child of an ancient prophecy to save the world. How do you feel? Will you embark on your journey? Or would you rather shove it onto someone else and run away? Explain.
I will be slightly overwhelmed at first but I will later find a way to overcome it in somehow. Although this will be a large responsibility to carry, the whole world is depending on me, the fate of the people lies in my hands. Therefore, I will do what I have to to save the world. Pushing this responsibility to somebody else is clearly irresponsible no matter how heavy the weight of saving the world is.

- You're dirt poor and your family is starving. You have a chance to steal bread. Do you: a) ignore it and get a job, b) steal it anyway because you know you won't get caught, c) get caught but break out of prison anyway, d) steal it and then hide from the creepy cop that keeps stalking you, e) don't steal because stealing is wrong :(. Explain why you chose that option.
I will choose options a) and e). Even though we are starving and poor, it is dishonest to stoop so low to obtain things. It is a better choice to do what's right and get a job to rightfully earn money so that we can get food legally.
... It's not that I do not wish to help my family but... Stealing is just not the right thing to do.

[Third Person]
It had only been a few days since Kuroh had had arrived in lovely Somarium, found a place to stay in (where he discovered that Shiro was already in it) and sorted out certain things. However, Kuroh knew that he couldn't rest just yet; he had to look for a job because he was with Shiro.

"Really, that lazy fool! I am not his wife!" Kuroh said to himself, frowning, clearly annoyed by his carefree friend who irresponsibly waved away the idea of getting a job, saying that it was unnecessary, and even jokingly stated that Kuro would take care of him (and everything) if anything happened because he was his 'wife'. Kuroh, however, did not want to risk anything, even if there were other ways of earning money besides working or if they were given some 'money' when they arrived in this place. Then, he made his way swiftly through the rural village and into a busy modern place. At one glance, what with all the skyscrapers and hotels, Kuroh was able to tell that it was clearly a city. He examined the large city where many people walked on by, taking in the surroundings. 'A city... This will surely be the best place to find a decent job.' He deduced, closing his eyes and pondering on what kind of job would be the best for him. Maybe something related to cooking would be the most fitting... 

'But first, for now, I should get a better view of the city.' Kuroh thought and held out his left hand. He then positioned his aim at the top of the building closest the skyscrapers and formed a lavender gel-like hand. The lavender hand then extended to attach itself to the building, pulling himself towards it and allowing him to position himself on the top of the building. Then, in a similar way, he easily made his way to the highest skyscraper. As he stood on the peak of the skyscraper, he was amazed and slightly surprised by what he saw. There were many buildings side-by-side, shopping centers, cinemas, more hotels and.. Was that a hospital? When he changed his position, he saw faint lights in the distant. This made him wonder: 'Could this mean that the city does not consist of only this section but a few?' Being up here was so relaxing that Kuroh had to close his eyes for a brief moment, feeling the incoming breeze blow as he took in the view. Exhaling, he opened his eyes and scrutinized the city again. He had to find and note the locations of restaurants.

After that, Kuroh made his way down, just as quickly as he went up, from the tallest skyscraper, keeping his eye on the nearest restaurant that he had spotted. He had located some restaurants. Now, it was only what kind of dishes were to be served in the restaurants and whether they were willing to hire chefs. He was, so far, only confident in cooking Japanese dishes. If he were to not be able to find a job, then he would just have to start one.
