Kurokami Clan

The Kurokami Clan (一族, Kurokami Ichizoku; Literally meaning "Kawahiru Family") is one of the three Sōzōshin families that have hailed from Asadal. Though the original clan is seemingly extinct, the Kurokami served as the ancestors to two noble families of Soul Society: the Kuchiki Clan and the Shiba Clan.

Behind the Scenes
The surname of this clan was inspired by Medaka Kurokami from the manga and anime series, Medaka Box. It is meant to replace the surname Kurosaki after it was revealed by Tite Kubo that the Kurosaki is a Quincy clan surname, so as to avoid confusion and contradiction. The Kurokami serving as the ancestor family to both the Kuchiki and the Shiba parallels the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan descendants of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki from the manga series Naruto.
