Baku

A purple tapir and Kuromis sidekick with the ability to fly. He in some episodes appears to have a crush on Kuromi and is often victim to Kuromis anger. Kuromi is frequently very physically abusive to him but regardless she truly does love him although despite the fact that theyre both animals they have a masterpet relationship. Like Kuromi Baku has a journal where he writes down his moments with her. Hiiragi burns it in the middle of the first season but he somehow retrieves it in the second season when they break out of jail. His birthday is confirmed to be on February 29. His name is a bit of a pun: in Japanese baku could mean a tapir or a dreameating creature of Japanese mythology. In one episode he has a crush on Uta. He does appear to have a conscience. On one occasion he was seen delivering newspapers and giving rides to children. Baku has the ability to sniff out Black Notes and whenever a new one is obtained Kuromi skewers it with a magical stick and Baku eats it for safekeeping. Baku first met Kuromi at a beach in Mari Land. Baku usually says Zona at the end of his sentences a lot like a catchphrase which is common of anime characters.
