KuroKen is a pairing in the Haikyuu fandom made up of Kuroo Tetsurou and Kozume Kenma. They are childhood best friends and play together on team Nekoma.
As of December 2021, KuroKen had over 9000 fics on AO3, making it the 5th most popular relationship in the Haikyuu tag. They are considered a major ship in HQ fandom, and have a very active global fanbase that becomes even more active whenever canon content is added.
While the Haikyuu manga has ended, the anime has not, and Kurokenists are eagerly awaiting the 5th season, which has a lot of KuroKen content. Extra official art as well as the spinoff manga Haikyuu-bu also add a steady amount of new canon that is quickly incorporated into fanworks.
