GENSHIN IMPACT has just introduced a new character, and fans already love her.
Named Kirara, she is said to be playable after the game’s next update.

Kirara has only had one showing so far, so she is still surrounded by mystery.
Here’s everything we know about Genshin Impact’s upcoming character.
Genshin Impact Kirara: Hometown, job & element
Kirara hails from Inazuma, one of Genshin Impact’s newer regions based on Japan.
She is a Dendro element character, which is the latest element to be introduced to the game.
This makes her the first Dendro character to come from Inazuma, though with the ever-expanding cast, she likely won’t be the last.
She follows the theme of the other characters from Inazuma – Diona, Gorou, Arattaki Ito, and Tighinari – in that she shares many features with animals.
Genshin Impact called her “Gold Level Courier of the Komaniya Express”, which is likely her job and also points to quick speeds like a cat.
She also holds a box on her official art, which would tie in to her job as a courier.

Genshin Impact Kirara: Character design
Genshin Impact describes Kirara: “She’s an adorable little nekomata.
“Just whisper ‘your gonna be late’ in her ear while she’s asleep, and she’ll spring right up and start dashing faster than General Gorou does on the battlefield.”
A nekomata is a type of Japanese yokai – or demon – that occurs when a cat reaches 100 years old.
You can tell a nekomata by its split tail, and they often use psychic or persuasive powers to fool humans into doing their bidding.
Genshin Impact Kirara: Release date
No official release date has been announced for Kirara, but Genshin Impact only announces banners shortly before they are available.
We expect Kirara to enter Genshin Impact during the 3.7 set, which is after the current rotation of character banners.
If this is correct, Kirara will be available towards the end of May 2023.
