PERSONALITY Kure Karura
Karura is an independent, curious individual who will go off on her own to explore whatever she pleases.

She has become close friends with Elena Robinson and shows concern for her brother Mokichi and expresses anger at Raian, her relative, for almost killing him.
Plot Kure Karura
Kengan Ashura
She hid her face under a fluffy hood and listened as Kure Erioh discussed who she should send to the Kengan Annihilation Tournament in order to represent Under Mount Inc.
Tokita Ohma was walking by her onboard the S.S. Kengan. After tracking Ohma down, she attacked Ohma to test his strength. After the two pulled their final strikes, Karura came up to Ohma, telling him bluntly that she wanted his children. Ohma immediately put her down and ran after her. Before she could chase him, Ohma’s relatives found her and took her back to her great grandfather. There she shared her feelings.
Karura arrived at Ganryu Island along with the rest of Kure. She quickly made a friendship with Elena Robinson (Mokichi Robinson’s younger sister), and they hung out on their first day together. Karura was also seen following Ohma that day.
Karura wished Mokichi luck during the opening day tournament. She was with Elena. After watching the fight, she was furious at Raian’s brutality and the end of the fight. After the fight, Karura stayed with Elena and Hanafusa Hjime worked on saving Mokichi’s life. After Hanafusa’s successful treatment, Karura spoke to Elena with some comforting words. She then started smiling happily after seeing Ohma win over Inaba Ryo. After his match, she quickly located him and jumped on him. She said it was time to have babies. The two of them met Kiryu Setsuna while walking along the Kengan Dome corridors together. This gave Karura some unsettling vibes. After witnessing Hanafusa’s “death”, Karura and the other women were left feeling sombre. Dazai Yukio then snapped his neck into place, reviving Hanafusa, and Karura jumping for him.
Karura and Elena spent the second day of the interday relaxing at the lakes with Kazuo, Hanafusa Yoshizawa, Kaede, Kaede, Hanafusa and Yoshizawa.
Karura, along with the rest Kure members, watched Ohma’s fight against Raian on the day of the second round. He noticed something was different about Ohma. Karura cheered frantically for Ohma as he won the fight. Ohma winning, Karura stripped off with joy and told Hollis that they could be married and have children. Karura assisted Hayami Katsumasa in his attempted coup and subdued the Guardians after the end of the second round.
Karura was very patient with Ohma on the last day of the tournament as he received special treatment by a Kure medical practitioner. Ohma was happy to tell Karura that her great-grandfather had blessed them with his blessing. Ohma smiled and brushed it off. Ohma took to the stage to face Imai Cosmo. Karura informed a confused Elena that Ohma was still in “changing” after they came across the Kengan Dome’s cordoned areas.
Karura cheered Ohma as he defeated the Devil Lance in the finals between Ohma Gensai and Kuroki Gensai.
Kurara, who had recognized his strength, exclaimed that Erioh had granted his blessing to her for Ohma’s marriage after the tournament.
Kengan Omega
Karura is said to be at college and plans to marry Ohma. This is much to Kure Erioh’s dismay and Ohma’s irritation. Ohma and the entire Kure Clan were eating breakfast at Kure Village when Ohma and her brother, Ohma, and their mother appeared. Kure Fusui was also present. She jumped towards Ohma, as usual for Karura, when he was speaking to Katahara about returning to Tokyo.
Karura, Mokichi Robinson and Imai Cosmo watched Gaoh Ryuki play Naidan Monkhbat at the Kengan Association Tournament. She saw that Ryuki was reaching the point of no returns by dealing with Naidan.
