Genshin Impact Announces Upcoming Character Kamisato Ayato

The official appearance of Kamisato Ayato in Genshin Impact is finally revealed. Two hours before the live stream of version 2.5, Genshin Impact's social accounts dropped a teaser for the character. This timing is rather unusual as usually, the developer reveals the news a few days after the special program. Not that fans mind, though, Ayato quickly became trending the second he was officially introduced.

In Genshin Impact, Kamisato Ayato is the head of the Kamisato Clan. He is the brother of Ayaka, the Cryo Princess of Inazuma. After their parents passed away, the two have been leading the Yashiro Commission. As Ayato prefers to stay out of the spotlight, Ayaka is the one that has to be the image of the clan. Similar to the sister, the head of the clan has a blueish color scheme, from his hair to his outfit. However, unlike her, Ayato bears a Hydro Vision.

As a person of great importance in Inazuma, Ayato's appearance is really graceful. Although he seems to be an introvert, Ayato is a master of governmental matters. He's an amazing leader and is known to bring stability to his clan. From some NPC's voice lines, Ayaka's brother is described as generous and mature. However, behind all that, many have also claimed that Ayato has a mischievous side. Thoma has even grown fearful of this. Other than that, the sneaky ninja of Shuumatsuban, Sayu, claims that Ayato can always find her easily, despite the other ninjas having difficulties.

From his character art, he appears to be wielding a sword as his weapon of choice. Considering an NPC, Noburi, states that Ayato is skilled with sword and polearm, he'll likely bear one of these two in the game. Although remembering the abundance of polearm characters in Genshin Impact recently, fans are hoping that Ayato will carry the sword instead.

Kamisato Ayato is one of the most anticipated characters in Genshin Impact. His importance in Inazuma and the charm of her sister causes people to eagerly await for this person to be introduced. When Ayato's voice was briefly teased in an official video, fans go wild with the theory that Ayato is coming soon. Thankfully, the day seems to be approaching quickly.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
