Genshin Impact brought joy to fans with the official character reveal of Kamisato Ayato, an upcoming Hydro character from Inazuma.
Ayato has yet to make an appearance in the online RPG’s story, but has been referred to in conversation as the head of the Yashiro Commission, and is the older sibling of playable character Kamisato Ayaka.
Here’s everything you need to know about Inazuma’s Kamisato Ayato, including his story, release date, voice actors, and abilities.
Who is Kamisato Ayato?
Developer miHoYo released a short biography of Kamisato Ayato on its official Facebook page.
In contrast to Raiden Shogun’s iron-fisted reign, Ayato works behind the scenes as the graceful leader of the Yashiro Commission, dedicated to maintaining the prosperity and stability of Inazuma.
In recent history, the budding politician is recognized for his resourceful leadership that helped restore the reputation of the Kamisato Clan and the Yashiro Commission.
Despite his strong affiliations, Ayato veers away from competitive politicking, and participates in negotiations that will equally share benefits amongst all parties involved.
Release date
Ayato is the featured 5-star character in the available V2.6 Character Event Wish “Azure Excursion” alongside Sucrose, Yun Jin, and Xiangling until April 19.
He follows the February 16 release of Yae Miko, another prominent character in the Inazuma storyline.
