Mato Kuroi is the central protagonist of the story—a bright and spirited middle schooler with a natural talent for basketball. Shortly after starting school, she forms a heartfelt bond with Yomi Takanashi. Mato's remarkable ability to sense others' emotions makes her a compassionate friend, yet it also leads her to suppress her own inner turmoil. The pain and negativity she cannot express in the real world are channeled into fierce battles by her alter ego, Black★Rock Shooter, who exists within a parallel realm known as the Hollow World.
