I've been wanting to write a profile of Sumire Kurokawa (黒川すみれ), but I haven't found a starting point. Recently, someone asked about stage names, so I thought I'd just talk about the connection between stage names and her work. Sumire Kurokawa has used quite a few names, conservatively estimated at more than six, and each stage name roughly represents a state she was in at the time.
