Don't EVER go near Kuroisan under any circumstances! That really is the #1 Rule when fighting him. With 8 ApR, low enough THAC0 to hit a Lvl 40 Swashbuckler regularly, and hits ranging from 60-70 dmg on Insane, this should really be a given.

Missile weapons is the way to go vs him. Though you must of course first dispel his enchantments. A single Breach will take care of every single one of them, though you must be able to target him to breach him, and unfortunately he casts Shadow Door combined with Spell Immunity: Divination, Abjuration, and something else as well, so you cant do much else but simply outlast them. This is extremely tricky if you have a party, but try to keep everyone hasted at all times, and always have them running around, avoiding Kuroisan. If you can keep out of his way long enough, his spell immunities should wear off and you can proceed with True Sight and then Breach. This should make him considerably easier to manage since he'll also lose his haste.

Now just keep pummeling him with missile weapons, normal missiles for when he's got Prot from Magic weapons up, and then switch to the heavy artillery once as soon as you dispel one of them. Imp Haste + MMM will eat him alive if you can exhaust his source of PfMW's.
