Her life changes when she meets Azusa Aizawa and others in Flatta Village, who help her find a new style and happiness through music.
Kuku is a beast person with the features of a rabbit, known as an Almiraj.
Even though she is about 80 years old, she looks much younger than her real age.
She has a good figure, which sometimes brings attention she does not want.
Kuku is gentle, shy, and not very confident.
Even though her songs were tough and dark, her true nature is soft and a little nervous.
She can be influenced by others' words, and sometimes thinks about quitting music when she feels down.
Kuku left her home village about 63 years ago to pursue her passion for music.
She became known as "Schiavonia" and mainly performed in human cities, especially the royal capital.
Her music style was dark, emotional, and lonely, much like death metal.
However, this genre was not popular, and she struggled to make a living from her performances.
Kuku is a bard, meaning she can create and perform music.
While her skills are average, she has a strong passion for singing and trying new styles.
Kuku meets Azusa Aizawa and her family while visiting Flatta Village for a street performance.
They take her in after she faints from hunger due to lack of money.
Azusa encourages her to continue singing since she loves music.
Flatorte helps Kuku realize she should let go of her old "death" style.
With the support of Azusa's family, Kuku transforms her approach to music.
She also becomes somewhat like a student to Flatorte.
From Schiavonia to New Beginnings
Kuku had been performing as "Schiavonia" for many years.
Her style was emotional, heavy, and not very popular, so she was not doing well.
She visits Flatta Village for a street show but collapses from hunger.
Azusa Aizawa and her friends save her and take her to live with them at the house in the Highlands for a while.
At first, Kuku wants to quit music.
But Azusa encourages her to keep doing what she loves.
Changing Styles and Finding Herself
Kuku decides to stop using "Schiavonia" and starts making new music under her real name.
She listens to advice, especially from Flatorte, and joins a songwriting contest with Azusa's family.
Inspired by Falfa, Shalsha, and Rosalie, she starts writing folk songs with a focus on emotions.
Most of these songs are still a bit dark in feeling.
New Success and Performing Again
After changing her style, Beelzebub visits and hears Kuku's new songs, giving her high praise.
Kuku is invited to perform at a music festival in the demon world where she receives a good response.
She can now live as a bard, earning enough to support herself.
Even though she sometimes tries to use dark songs for big events, which does not always fit, she continues to grow and sometimes even performs her old style "Schiavonia" songs at festivals.
- Kuku’s style went from heavy "death" genre music to folk songs with a dark twist.
- Despite her new, gentler style, most of her songs are still a bit gloomy.
- She almost gave up music due to lack of success and considered taking suspicious new jobs, but Azusa convinced her otherwise.
- In some events, like relay races, she tries to sing sad songs about being substitute players or doping, which can feel out of place.
- Thanks to Rosalie, her song themes often deal with loneliness and struggles.
- “If you love music, there is no need to quit.” – Azusa Aizawa encouraging Kuku
- “Maybe I should let go of my stubbornness and try a new start.” – Kuku
