A Kuro by Any Other Name...

One of the running gags in Tsubasa is Fai's contast teasing of Kurogane. From their first meeting in Yuko's shop, the wizard has taken to giving the ninja diminuative nicknames that Kurogane finds infinitely infuriating.

Here's a semi-comprehensive list of Fai's nicknames for Kurogane, and what chapter/page it happened. If you remember any others, let me know.
