Kurama (蔵間?)

Picture
Kurama (蔵間?) is the central antagonist of the series. He is also the surrogate father of Nana and biological father of Mariko. His wife, Hiromi Kurama, died from cesarean section complications shortly after she gave birth to Mariko. Although he had previously been tasked with killing all diclonius births, he falters when he must kill his own daughter.

Lucy carries a deep hatred toward Kurama, stemming from his failure to save Aiko Takada (as seen in the Elfen Lied OVA); however, she states that she will not kill him but will kill everything that loves him. It is revealed late in the series that the General Director of the diclonius research program kept his daughter alive, increasing Kurama's perceived debt to him. It is also revealled that his wife Hiromi died from medical complications only because she attempted to stop Kurama from killing Mariko in her cradle, and that after seeing his wife die in his arms, Kurama decided to let Mariko live.
