Character synopsis

Kimiko is the Xiaolin Dragon of Fire. She is the only character in the show to have a different hairstyle and outfit in every episode. (Special outfits such as winter clothing and monk robes appear in more than one). She is the most acquainted with the latest modern technology (since her father bought her every electronic toy and device she ever had because he's the video game tycoon of Tokyo, Japan) and is usually the one to pursue the research required of particularly odd Shen Gong Wu like the Sapphire Dragon.^[1] In the earlier episodes, her best friend, Keiko, can often be heard talking to Kimiko on her cell phone.

Character personality

As the only female in the entire temple, she wants to demonstrate that she can handle things on her own as well as her teammates or better. She tends to become very angry when her abilities as a fighter are downsized because she is a girl.^[2] Kimiko's worst fear is a little doll she once owned.^[3] She occasionally yells at Clay for abusing the English language.^[4]

Character history

Kimiko is the daughter of the affluent, influential, and powerful Japanese businessman, Toshiro Tohomiko, who owns the most prominent toy and game company in Asia, Tohomiko Electronics. Her father bought her practically every electronic toy in existence at the cost of other needs; she had to beg her father to buy her new clothes.^[5]
In the episode "Tangled Web" no one would believe that Kimiko would win, except for Raimundo in a bet with Clay and Omi.
In early episodes, Kimiko was often talking to her friend Keiko on her cell phone. Later in the series, her friend is not mentioned again.
In the first season, she wore her hair in all different styles, but also different colors. Toward the end of the series, she still wears her hair in different styles, but only in her natural hair color, black.
She once was replaced by Jack Spicer's Chameleon-Bot and was trapped by Jack, but escaped. While in captivity, though, Jack attempted to flirt with her. She also has defeated Sibini, an evil earwig spirit of mischief, in a Xiaolin Showdown, trapping him inside the Mosaic Scale and the Monarch Wings for eternity.^[6] Her worst fear is Li'l Chica doll. She has also defeated PandaBubba in a showdown, in Goo Zombies 4 for the Zing Zom-Bone.
